Social Impact Capital

Much bigger deal than it seems This team will make government education dollars available to parents, kids, and entrepeneurs Edtech has been dead for decades because the market sucks; Amaan and crew will fix it.

We're excited to announce Pathfinder's $4M seed funding led by Gradient and Reach Capital to put education back into the hands of parents  - pathfindercard.com/seed

Read about how a single @praan_inc MKII actually recovered $75,000 worth of raw material in year 1 itself. Oh and btw, it also improved the air quality there by 97%.

9/10 consumers (85%) say they are experiencing the disruptive impacts of climate change in their lives pwc.com/gx/en/news-roo…

Many renewables are now beating oil, coal, and natural gas on cost alone. Innovation remains undefeated.

Portfolio company @PrometheusFuels announced "first in history" news, demonstrating the first low-cost fuel, printed from thin air, to power a vehicle. Most importantly: * They can generate zero-carbon fuel that's cost competitive with fossil fuels * They can capture a ton of carbon for less than $40 linkedin.com/pulse/we-made-…

@Girlaboutsmthng @sarah_cone @dtematerials They are 20% lighter. Weight isn't a pro here. The reduced weight means faster installation. other benefits: * Zero flame spread (ASTM E84 certified) * More square feet installed per day * Lower labor costs * 45% lower carbon * Maintains 2,500 PSI strength

@sarah_cone @dtematerials May have misread but the concrete blocks are 30% lighter? Isn’t some of the benefit of concrete its weight and solidity, e.g. in use for barriers etc?

Instigator Theory. All it will take to solve climate change is about 20 entrepreneurs building the right billion-dollar companies.

@dtematerials The Science 🧪 Our Clearwash™ process introduces bioaggregates into concrete that is: •Zero flame spread (ASTM E84) •20% lighter = faster installation •More square feet installed per day •Lower labor costs •45% lower carbon •Maintains 2,500 PSI strength 📊 (6/12)

@dtematerials in LA soon ➡️ Going in as firewalls 🔥

@KianSadeghi5 About 5 years ago we asked George Church what the most important thing to build was, and he said a genetically-informed dating site. Can't believe that this actually exists now!

I’m excited to be the first member of Dating by Nucleus. There's something you should know: Like 1 in 25 people, I'm a carrier for a life-threatening genetic disease called cystic fibrosis. If my future partner is too, our kids would have a 25% chance of having the condition. Hence, I’m looking for a woman with a kind heart — who isn’t a carrier for cystic fibrosis. 💘 If you are interested in dating me, you can go to the link below and request a date. If you are the lucky girl, you will get Nucleus Family on us, ensuring we are genetically compatible!

From everything we're seeing in oncology, including our own portfolio company @totusmedicines, we'll be very surprised if we don't have cures to 99% of cancers in a decade.

@IanRountree Love this so much.

Okay hear me out…

WHY WE INVESTED IN @dtematerials 1. No green premium: lowers costs for the industry today. 2. Ready to scale this year, in order to have a significant impact on decarbonization this decade 3. Insane traction with the largest homebuilders and suppliers in the USA.

If anyone is interested in cement, the #2 most used substance in the world, we have a group chat going on about it. Big debate today is on the future usage of concrete.

@aphysicist Lightweight (33% lighter), lower carbon (-45%), structural concrete blocks! Passed ASTM C90/C140 tests in 2024! A video of the last run

The best feeling in the world is when the products you build, change lives in an unimaginable manner. To hear from a doctor that 2 people in a family are off a medicine that they've been taking for over 12 years, because of the HIVE, brings us unparalleled joy and gratitude. "One Breath at a Time" is series of stories that Praan is sharing about the impact clean air has brought about in the lives of our customers. This video in the series shares the story of Dr. Ritesh Malik (@drriteshmalik) - a globally renowned entrepreneur, doctor, investor, father, and a resident of Delhi. He speaks of the changed reality of Delhi due to air pollution, its impact on the health of the general population as well as on children. Dr. Malik bought almost every purifier on the market, including the most expensive ones in the world, but chose to eventually use the HIVE for the well-being of his family. His father and him are no longer taking a medicine they've been taking for over 12 years, since they've brought home HIVE, and this positive change has built so much trust that they now have more than 25 HIVEs at home, and have gifted HIVEs to more than 10 loved ones.
