Novele - active investment.
Novele combines an elegantly-designed interior wall-mounted battery system (EnergyBoard) with machine learning software that optimizes energy storage and distribution to reduce commercial buildings' peak load charges. It’s a brilliant approach, a beautiful product, and a clear win-win-win for the customer, for Novele, and for the environment. We’re thrilled to be involved!
Electrogenos - active investment.
A series of Electrogenos inventions dramatically reduce the energy cost for hydrogen production. Hydrogen emits no carbon when burned as fuel, leading to broad excitement for its expanding use in transport and industry. To date, green hydrogen production hasn’t been cost-competitive… but Electrogenos is resetting expectations with their transformative solution.
Aeluma - active investment.
Aeluma is a next-generation semiconductor company whose deep tech platform unlocks scaled manufacturing of high-performance, compound semiconductors. Our position reflects the massive opportunity for Aeluma chips to increase AI data center speeds while greatly decreasing energy use. We see downside risk associated with that thesis mitigated by the diverse other applications that Aeluma's technology can help transform (e.g. in quantum computing, aerospace, mobile, automotive, robotics, and more).
Strong by Form - active investment.
Strong by Form features brilliant engineering and gorgeous designs across multiple manufactured wood product verticals with clear markets and major environmental benefits. Applying lessons learned from the natural strength of trees, Strong by Form products are stronger than reinforced concrete at a fraction of the weight, thus increasing the efficiency of existing engineering opportunities and unlocking new ones. This is achieved with both greatly reduced net carbon emissions and lower costs.
Oxcart Aviation - active investment.
Oxcart is building transformative products for aviation. They are starting with a solution that passengers will love for limiting flight delays and missed connections, airlines will love for saving them billions of dollars/ year in fuel costs, airports will love for improving their efficiency, and environmentalists will love for markedly reducing carbon emissions.
