who are the best early-stage hardware investors? i meet incredible hardware founders early on and would love to share.

See you in El Segundo! Tuesday 2/17 @VoyagerVC @upfrontvc RSVP: form.typeform.com/to/tylAB3Bx?

In an era of weaponized supply chains, domestic resources are a competitive advantage + a priority for national security. Great conversation with @business on the geopolitics of rare earths + metals and the market implications of a fresh $12B in US sovereign demand. Critical minerals are just that - essential to industrial systems, manufacturing, and defense. @VoyagerVC has invested in several companies creating efficient and domestic production of critical minerals, including lithium and rare earth elements. Thanks to @cocojournalist for the chat! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@zeldapoem LOVE!!

Inspired by Michelle's weekly threads on top SF tech events, I'm putting together a list of art & culture events Here's what's happening this week (no, art and culture are not dead in San Francisco!):

@IanRountree @VoyagerVC @leobanchik Thank you Ian!! Excited to keep investing together 🚀

Exciting! We've partnered with three companies alongside @VoyagerVC and they are some of the most hands-on and supportive investors to founders tackling problems of planetary proportion. Sarah & Sierra have built a solid team too, adding the likes of @leobanchik & @venturingnare.

Today, we’re announcing Voyager’s $275M Fund II. We launched Voyager in 2021 with a clear conviction that the next era of progress will be built on foundational technologies: electrification, advanced manufacturing, and AI that optimizes the physical world. Now more than ever, that conviction is being validated, and the opportunity to build a world of abundance has never been more clear. A generation of brilliant founders - engineers, scientists, biologists, chemists - is leading the way, reinventing how the world makes and uses energy, materials, and machines. At Voyager, accelerating the success of those founders is our lives’ work. We are former founders ourselves - and engineers, scientists, and operators. We look to partner with founders whose vision and persistence redefines what’s possible. We are grateful to our LPs for their ongoing support and to the extraordinary founders with whom we are fortunate to work. Onwards. @sclarsic, @sierrap, and the @VoyagerVC team

guys i’m destined for greatness

Rocket tech to power data centers, industry and beyond 🚀 Clean, low-cost power is the foundation of any good future for humanity. Arbor Energy's extraordinary team is building it now Proud to co-lead Arbor's $55M Series A with our friends @lowercarbon! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Always a treat to bring the Voyager community, our founders, and our LPs together during Climate Week NYC. Voyager portfolio companies @moment_energy, @Enapi_gmbh, Leeta, and Generate sat down with us during our party to share what they’re building and where they’re winning. Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Voyager x @generalcatalyst party!

Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change, thrives in the face of love not hate.

As the research brief says, “FWF provides a foundation to build upon.” Here for it y’all. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Or would this be a case of beautifully working physics at the small scale that break down at larger scales? I’m certainly curious to see where this work goes.

What a cool synthesis technique! The flash-within-flash method makes advanced materials in under 5 seconds. One vessel ignites at 2000°C, heat cascades to the nested inner chamber, and triggers ultrafast synthesis of transition metal dichalcogenides like MoSe2.
