Go buy a Throne!! Congrats @ScottHickle!
Throne Science@ThroneScience
We have wearables to track our cardio and sleep. We have CGMs to track our metabolic health. But when it comes to our daily gut health, hydration, and urinary health, we've been completely in the dark. Today, that changes. Listen to your gut, with Throne.

I'm not a big sports person, but we invested in this company (Arcturus) because the tech was v cool!
Let's see if they can get the big leagues to adopt it.
Bilawal Sidhu@bilawalsidhu
This will change the way we experience sports forever -- watching the game from a gods eye view. Arcturus is building 4D gaussian splatting tech that can capture every angle of a sporting event and pushes the bar for volumetric video. I tested this in a headset and it makes 360 and 3D 180 video look ancient. This puts you closer to the action than any stadium seat, and it’s genuinely mind blowing.

We backed another very cool company at @myelinvc: Material.
Most hardware is poorly designed for one boring reason: batteries! @Material_HM hopes to change this.
Short thread 👇
Gabe@gabednconfused
MATERIAL has raised a $7.1M Seed round and is executing a $1.25M Phase II SBIR contract with the U.S. Air Force to rethink how energy is made. For too long, product design has been dictated by the battery. MATERIAL is making energy adaptable to the product, unlocking new freedom in performance, endurance, and design. This is just the beginning. Press Release: material.inc/material-unlea…

Energy storage is getting a real overhaul, and at @myelinvc we’re proud investors in @Material_HM.
They make batteries a design enabler: shape the cell to match the product, not the product to match the cell.
Can’t wait to see what can be built when batteries stop being the constraint that defines the device and engineers get a better, faster, denser option in their toolkit.

Incredibly grateful to have had your support from the beginning. Especially given the subject matter experts you and your team are. @MatiasNisenson

One of the coolest companies we’ve backed at @myelinvc is finally coming out of stealth. @becoming_ai launches today. If we can predict how organisms change over time, it changes everything: medicine, aging, and treating disease at the root. Congrats @divyacohen and team!

How do we go from a single cell to a complex organism? For 50 yrs experimentally meeting the nutritional demands of a growing organism has been a bottleneck in development. For the first time, we built placental support and predictive tools to make it possible. Watch ↓

We have three big @pipedream_labs announcements today. The 3rd is the most ambitious project we've ever attempted.
Here’s a quick summary thread:

On Monday, we are making the biggest Pipedream announcement yet.
Thanks to everyone who helped us get here, can't wait to show y'all what's next!

Shit just got real (pun intended). Congrats @ScottHickle!
Myelin II (@myelinvc) portfolio company @ThroneScience closes a $4m seed round!
Scott Hickle@ScottHickle
I could not be more thrilled to share that Throne closed a $4M seed round led by @KatieS at @MoxxieVentures… AND that we’ve been joined by a third co-founder, @JohnCapodilupo, Chief Product Officer. Prior to Throne, John was co-founder and CTO of @WHOOP. He is also a very public advocate for IBD, as he has ulcerative colitis and sits the board of trustees for the @CrohnsColitisFn. Between his professional experience building WHOOP and his personal experience with a chronic digestive disease, there just isn’t a more perfect person on Earth. I gotta extend a very heartfelt THANK YOU 🙌 to Katie and John, ofc, and also to the many others who have supported us along the way — @TaraViswanathan, @jwmares, @lancearmstrong, @mikenemke, @swerdlin, @ericbahn, @MatiasNisenson, @nickcandito, @carterkev, @brian_blum1, @Austen, @Milankordestani, @brettrjackson and many others. @ThroneScience is the most important thing I’ve ever worked on. I sincerely believe this device will improve health and one day save lives. I am so lucky to get to wake up each day and work on something I love and believe in — I wouldn’t get to do it without your support. Thank you. 🙏

This is @outpostspace, one of our portfolio companies and easily one of the coolest.
Send payloads to space and bring them back to Earth.
Watch the video to see their autonomous paraglider with landing precision of 5 meters in action.

What if we connected a ‘delivery tube’ to every home?
That’s the idea behind @pipedream_labs - a logistics company that is trying to replace big, inefficient delivery trucks with robots and tunnels.
00:00 – This is a tube that grants wishes
01:48 – Welcome to Hard Reset
03:23 – Follow us to Pipedream Labs in Austin, Texas
04:02 – Building a city-wide network of tubes
04:55 – Pipedream Labs’ prototype graveyard
06:30 – Last-mile logistics is expensive and car-dependant
09:16 – Pipedream could make mail delivery safer
09:51 – The engineering problems with Pipedream
11:30 – How Pipedream is testing tube tech in Georgia
12:55 – Here’s how these pipes are installed
14:30 – Pipedream’s in-house prototype of this tech

If you’re a builder in Palo Alto, reach out to Martin.
You won’t regret it! 🐐

🥰 One of the greatest joys of investing in other founders is having more milestones to celebrate.
Today, we’re celebrating tenlives.com and its incredible team, led by Vicki and Ruby. After lots of hard work, they’ve launched an innovative cat treat made from rabbit protein, without harming a single rabbit.
How do they do it? AI-powered precision fermentation. This technology uses yeast, programmed with the DNA instructions to produce specific proteins. These microorganisms are grown in fermenters, where they efficiently produce the target protein (in this case, rabbit protein) in a controlled environment.
The result is real, high-quality protein, identical to what nature provides, without killing a single animal.
Sounds like sci-fi but it’s real and you can get it for your cat at tenlives.com
