Hey founders if you’re early, they’ll have your back. @BraytonKey, @AdamDraper, @MaddieCallander & the entire @BoostVC team. Disclosure: they backed @fairmint seven years ago. We wouldn’t be where we are today without them 🫡
The #1 reason VCs pass on great founders: “You’re too early.” We want @BoostVC to be the place those founders go. First yes. First check. Nothing is too early.

Venture capital is supposed to be risky. It’s about backing founders when most people say it's impossible. When you see a first-of-its-kind pitch, lean in. @davidhooper is building @eldaeonuap to find aliens. 👽 Proud to be an investor. @BoostVC Learn more 👇

Still amped up from a electric @BoostVC LP Day 🔥🔥🔥 Our goal for the day: have LPs get a glimpse of the future we get to see every day. @DougBernauer shared lessons from 12 years at @SpaceX and how he’s now finishing the multiplanetary mission w/ @RadiantNuclear (and his recent $750m contract!). ☢️ Three bio founders pitched on eliminating genetic diseases, rejuvenating the brain, and personalized cancer vaccines (and the fastest in history to do it!). 🧬 Then @TimDraper on why first-check investing, saying YES first, is the key innovation. 🥇 Will be tough to top this one next year. Thank you to everyone who came out! 🫶

Thanks for an electric interview @JasonGrohowski Favorite quote of mine: "I called @brian_armstrong from the toilet, and said 'I'm in', and he said 'For how much' and I said 'I'm not sure'" piped.video/watch?v=kLvsTJnN…

Radiant Nuclear just won the largest government contract for nuclear reactors. Real money for reactors!
The @USArmy has awarded Radiant $750 million to deliver 15 Kaleidos microreactors through the Janus program, one of the largest contracts @DIU_x has issued to date. The Army launched the Janus Program to strengthen the energy resilience of military installations and mission-critical infrastructure. Radiant was chosen after extensive evaluation of reactor design, technical maturity, manufacturing readiness, deployment strategy, and commercial viability. Radiant’s 15 microreactors will enable the Army to deploy nuclear power across multiple locations. In tandem, the operational data acquired through the Program will accelerate commercial deployments across a global footprint of commercial customers. Learn more: radiantnuclear.com/

Sometimes when a star dies, it leaves some energy behind. Our nuclear fuel is a 5 billion year old gift from the milky way. This brings new meaning to the phrase "Thank your lucky stars!"

I raised $100k with my best friend. Today we’re excited to share Parde: The First Event Bank. Banks see an event organizer and think: no assets -> no loan. But these organizers move six figures a night. The money just runs through a ticketing platform no bank can see into. Parde is the operating system organizers run on, and the bank that funds them. We funded $84k of our own capital. It returned as $193k in 3 months (2.3x Return). One ex-event organizer and one Forbes 30u30 engineer inventing the financing for the $1.2T events industry. We're very thankful to @AdamDraper and @BoostVC for backing two 19-year-old founders.

I don't think people understand how big of a deal this is yet. The team @RadiantNuclear has built a product that is a nuclear reactor, where historically reactor companies build buildings. Historic.
Look, it's a reactor on a truck!

This is nuclear as a product, not a construction project. That has never been done before.
Look, it's a reactor on a truck!

Building a reactor is hard. Building the actual portable, containerized reactor you'll ship to customers is another level. LFG @RadiantNuclear ☢️
Our totally portable, containerized reactor is about to ship out, I'm staying on top of things here!
