Kick-ass execution! Do not have enough words to express the awe, satisfaction and pride in seeing @DigEnergy perfectly deploy its first commercial install. We all know abundant energy underpins our future growth. With Dig's drilling tech, we finally eliminate the bottleneck holding back geothermal, widely acknowledged to be the most efficient way to solve for a FULL THIRD of our electricity needs. NOTHING ELSE is: (a) deployable TODAY, (b) 24x7x365, (c) unaffected by wars, geopolitics, weather events (d) clean, and now, finally (e) cheaper than the rest. canarymedia.com/articles/geo…

Thanks for the feature @WSJ! The team is working very hard to make more Airforms right now here in Kailua, Hawaii. You can check out more here at airform.space. They are now delivering in Hawaii and California.

“Recognize that the attention span of humans is low. The attention span of VCs is probably getting closer to like fruit fly level. So get to the point quickly, and then you can elaborate on the other stuff.” Was excited to chat with @patriciawexler, founder and GP @AvilaVC_ on the latest episode of Fun Raising. I loved this quote from Patty 👆 Founders still spend the first five minutes proving the market is big. If the category is already obviously huge, you’re burning the only minutes you have on a slide they believed before you sat down. Open with the hook only you can say. Then you can do TAM. We also got into: 🔎 When to skip the market-size slide, and when you actually need it 🤝 Why investors are an inch deep and a mile wide, and what that means for what you should expect 📣 How to sequence a raise so your dream firm isn’t the last one in 📉 What a cold email has to do in the first line if you want a meeting 📈 Why the first meeting is not a bank loan, and how that should change how you walk in And so much more. Thanks again for being on, Patty! Full episode live here on X 🎧

energy is local. stopping datacenter builds, as NY just did (rather than designing win-win requirements and incentives for local communities and builders) is going to lead to some geos having decrepit infrastructure, and some geos benefiting from grid upgrade, investment and economic revitalization. the state needs to “plan” faster. the last time the bureaucracy said they’d study energy it led to a 30-year abject failure to build any (clean) nuclear capacity. a standard nuclear EIS takes 4 years to even get a decision

We're thrilled to announce our co-lead in Superlight's £15m Series A, alongside @engineventures , with participation from @AvilaVC_ 1/

"The cheapest transmission line is the one that already exists” -- @RosnerFERC at today's FERC Open Meeting on large load interconnection

Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to seize 50% of any AI startup that crosses $200M in revenue. The same anti-prosperity bloc spent the year trying to ban startup acquisitions, blocking the only exit 85% of founders ever get. This is a war on building startups in America.
