250 years ago, a small group built something the world had never seen: America. 🇺🇸
That spirit never died. In 2002, @elonmusk moved into a warehouse in El Segundo and proved Americans could still build the impossible.
A generation of companies was born from that building. They're still being built here today.
If you're building something your family and your country will be proud of, come to the Gundo and build what you need to. Apply for the Fall Cohort below.
Deadline July 17th.
Featuring @jordannoone and @jordan__black

🫡 From first check at seed to leaning in again at Series A, Giant Step Capital is proud to partner with Zane and @Picogrid on building the open infrastructure layer for defense autonomy.
1/ I'm excited to announce that @Picogrid closed a $45M Series A, led by @BessemerVP.
We're building the open infrastructure layer for the military's growing arsenal of sensors, drones, autonomous systems, AI agents, and C2 software.

Proud to announce that Phobos, the second @AetheroSpace satellite, was successfully launched to orbit earlier this morning
We’re partnered with @BoozAllen on this mission to demonstrate capabilities for adaptive event detection using high-fidelity Earth observation data collected on orbit
This will enable satellites to achieve faster, smarter, decision-making on orbit, and is a major step towards building the orbital intelligence layer for defense needs!

Proud to share this.
We have just released a preprint of our first in human RCT showing that Microtesla Magnetic Therapy (MMT) was safe and resulted in clinically meaningful improvements in cognitive function and mood in participants who have been suffering with impairment from Long Covid for an average of 43 months.
This is the first clinical signal that MMT, a new, noninvasive, biophysics based approach, may restore brain function across brain disorders marked by neuroinflammation and oxidative stress.
We started Fareon with a belief that there was a fundamentally different way to treat brain disorders, not by adding molecules, but by restoring underlying biological function.
These early results are just the beginning.
BREAKING: Preprint from our first in human clinical trial now live.
In this triple blind, randomized controlled pilot study, Microtesla Magnetic Therapy (MMT) was evaluated in participants with moderate to severe cognitive impairment from Long Covid, as determined by a neuropsychological battery demonstrating objective impairment. MMT had an excellent safety profile and was associated with sustained, clinically meaningful improvements across cognitive domains including attention, processing speed, and memory, as well as mood.
These findings add to a growing body of evidence that targeting neuroinflammation and oxidative stress may help restore cognitive function after infection related injury and other brain pathologies.
We are grateful to the investigators @PutrinoLab and Dr. Jackie Becker, the extended Mount Sinai team, and the study participants.
This is an important first clinical step for a new class of noninvasive, biophysics based therapies designed to restore brain function. We are rapidly advancing toward larger trials to validate and scale this approach to the millions of people with inadequate treatment options.

The mission:
To reshape the future of batteries.
Congrats to our portfolio company @Material_HM - working relentlessly to commercialize this technology.
MATERIAL has raised a $7.1M Seed round and is executing a $1.25M Phase II SBIR contract with the U.S. Air Force to rethink how energy is made.
For too long, product design has been dictated by the battery. MATERIAL is making energy adaptable to the product, unlocking new freedom in performance, endurance, and design.
This is just the beginning.

Excited to share that @GiantStepVC participated in @GroqInc ‘s latest round.
Groq is building the world’s fastest AI inference engine, powered by its LPU™ architecture—unlocking real-time AI at a scale GPUs can’t match.
@JonathanRoss321 @sundeep big congrats to the team !
Artificial intelligence chip startup Groq Inc. raised $750 million at a post-funding valuation of $6.9 billion bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Our portfolio company @AstroMechanica is building the future of supersonic flight.
We’re excited to have strong partners along for the ride.
It’s great having a new partner who might know a thing or two about flight operations.
Looking forward to working with @united to bring long-range, efficient supersonic flight to market!
