Our @YesVC portfolio company @GametoGen reduces IVF treatment time from 10-14 days to just 2-3 days by maturing eggs outside the body. It also eliminates 80% of hormone injections. Now, the company has secured FDA clearance for a Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. with trials launching across 15 U.S. sites. Gameto made history in December with the first live human birth using lab-matured eggs 🍼

Carbon capture pioneer @Heirloom, a @YesVC portfolio company, is building DAC facilities in Shreveport to remove up to 320,000 tons of CO2/year. The first 17,000-ton facility opens in 2026, and a 100,000-ton phase starts in 2027. These bend the cost curve of captured carbon down towards the $100/ton magic line, and newly-created jobs up towards the 1,000 mark. Significant support from the U.S. DOE and Louisiana Economic Development helped make these investments possible.
Heirloom@heirloomcarbon
We’re bringing 320,000 tonnes of yearly CO2 removal capacity to Northwest Louisiana – leveraging DOE support to increase removal capacity & create over 1,000 new jobs in the region. 17k tonnes in 2026 + 100k tonnes in 2027 + 200k tonnes in later years. More here: heirloomcarbon.com/news/two-direc…

Our @YesVC Partner @Caterina is a SuperForecaster, one of the 30 most successful early-stage startup investors in the world according to TRAC. What do these SuperForecasters have in common? Most are in their mid-40s; it takes up to 10 years of active investing in startups before an investor will qualify as a SuperForecaster. They probably didn't go to business school and were likely math, computer science or engineering majors. Almost two-thirds have started one tech company and almost half have started two startups. They rarely make follow-on investments. The SuperForecaster follow-on rate is close to just 3%. They seldom invest in startups with a single founder. SuperForecasters rely on their own judgment. The same two rarely, if ever, co-invest in the same startups. businessinsider.com/30-of-the-most…

Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog has made over 70 movies – most of them documentaries like Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and Grizzly Man. Herzog’s style is so distinctive that his films are recognizable practically from the moment they start. On Oct 21st, Herzog came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to @YesVC Partner @Caterina about filmmaking and writing, including his new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All. This fantastic @cityartssf conversation aired on NPR Dec 3rd and is now on Spotify—listen: open.spotify.com/episode/3gBjUC…

Our @YesVC portfolio company @AssemblyOSM fabricates high-rises. Their first, three-story apartment building went up in Brooklyn yesterday. Although just three stories, it’s still a big deal because it was constructed (or “stacked”) all in one day. This time-lapse shows how cranes lift entire fully-finished rooms into place like giant Lego bricks: youtube.com/watch?v=8OwfIL… Their next one, on Manhattan, will be 15 stories. Imagine the cost and time-savings relative to traditional construction

One of our most exciting @YesVC portfolio companies, @AdeptAILabs, open-sourced a multimodal model last week called Fuyu that blew up and is now #1 on @HuggingFace, the AI developer community. Why is it so popular with developers?
Adept is building a generally intelligent copilot for knowledge workers. In order to use and download apps, log in and take actions on behalf of users, it has to understand what’s displayed on the user’s phone or screen. Image understanding, designed from the ground up for digital agents. So, it’s blazingly fast - it can get responses for large images in less than 100 milliseconds. Fuyu is a small version of the multimodal model that powers Adept’s product. More details, including some examples, in the team’s post on Adept’s blog: lnkd.in/dGGG3xvJ
Adept was co-founded by @jluan of @OpenAI and @Google. Yes VC Partner @Caterina is on Adept’s Product Board. Adept has raised over $350 million to bring to market what David calls “useful general intelligence.”

Finland and our portfolio company Steady Energy are showing the way for small nuclear reactors 🌍
Jyri Engeström@jyri
In landmark legislation, Finland is changing its laws to allow small, modular nuclear reactors to be located within cities. Removing the 5-kilometer safe zone requirement will enable @YesVC portfolio company Steady Energy to build SMR-powered heating plants for Helsinki’s utility @EnergiaHelen and other Finnish municipalities. The reactors will most likely be placed underground, enclosed in bedrock. This alone can reduce Finland’s carbon dioxide emissions by up to 8%. yle.fi/a/74-20056400

Video of my 20-minute talk from this week's @BoardmanOy event in Helsinki: 1. Difference between Valley and non-Valley entrepreneurs 2. The best founders think like investors (dual-threat CEOs) 3. You begin to see opportunities where other people see a crisis 4. Things most startup founders wouldn't think of become normal: SPVs, buyouts, etc. 5. You find yourself in multiple companies 6. Legendary entrepreneurs compound not just one, but many businesses (multipreneurship) youtu.be/jZoEQzFYcY4?si…
