everyone needs to take 31 minutes and watch the three films our @a16z New Media team released today. they are each 8-13 mins long covering: @UlyssesInc - the ocean company @RadiantNuclear - portable nuclear power @MarianaMinerals - future mineral mining easily the most patriotic and hopeful I've felt in a long time. a true glimpse into the technologies which will defend, power, and send us into the future. bravo @robcgiani / @bnslevin / @espricewright / @davidu and all else involved.

excited to share three founder profiles later this week. @speedrun wouldn't be what it is without our founders and I wanted to capture the essence of who they are beyond their ARR, market size, and GTM plan. First video drops tomorrow.
