More big news in the @BoostVC portfolio: @K2SpaceCo is partnering with @anduriltech for the Golden Dome program!
K2 Space Corporation@K2SpaceCo

K2 Space is proud to announce that we are partnering with @anduriltech on the Pentagon’s Golden Dome missile defense program. K2 will be providing our proven Mega-class satellites to host Space Based Interceptors. Our satellites are bigger and more powerful than anything on orbit, and we’re thrilled to be selected for Golden Dome to demonstrate what these high power, high payload mass satellites can bring to the warfighter.

☢️@RadiantNuclear's factory license was accepted under 10 CFR Part 70. That’s the license to handle nuclear fuel. The difference between a warehouse and a real reactor factory. One of the biggest hurdles in going from demo to business 👇

“If we believe something that the rest of the investment world doesn’t, that is a scarce resource and we must act.” If Stan Lee had written a venture capital firm into the Marvel universe, he might have picked @BoostVC. For over a decade, @AdamDraper and @BraytonKey have executed their unconventional strategy, making investments in the boldest ideas from science fiction at a radical pace and scale. As a result, they have consistently been early to technological and scientific breakthroughs, becoming an invaluable partner to the most ambitious founders and assembling a mighty network in the process. To illustrate, here's what a few of their portfolio companies are working on at the moment: - Jet packs - Dire Wolves - Space robots - Nuclear power - Cryptocurrency - Brain interfaces - Biohybrid brains - Electric hydrofoils - Enormous satellites The exceptional performance of their 2016 debut fund (which included investments in @coinbase, Bitcoin and @moltbook) speaks for itself.

A case study on @BoostVC’s Fund 1 (2016 - 4.61x DPI) 👇 Grateful to @credistick for the deep dive. Building venture firms is a long game. This is what one fund looks like over ~10 years.

The @BoostVC team are real ones. Actual contrarians and ahead of so many trends. They deserve every bit of success.
Brayton Williams ⏻@BraytonKey

Big news from @StarfishSpace! @BoostVC was the first investor in 2020. Just months after covid started. When in-person, high capex, & going to space was far from popular. @AustinLink, Trevor and team persevered and the market is catching up to the future they saw back then 🚀

There are dozens of nuclear startups. There is effectively one shared test slot in the U.S. where you can bring a reactor and go critical without building your own site. Radiant just got it. For a full year.
Dr. Rita Baranwal@RitaB66

⚠️ NOT an April’s Fools’ post‼️ Today is @RadiantNuclear’s 1st day of our 1-yr residency in @NRICnuclear’s DOME. Our robust partnership with NRIC, @INL and @GovNuclear is vital, as we startup Kaleidos, achieve criticality, and operate at full power this summer!
