We back deeply technical founders rethinking how we compute, build, and make things.
Meet the companies they’re building.
Space-native computers built for the physics of space.
odysseycompute.comRobotic factories for the next generation of medicines.
multiplylabs.comFoundation models that turn physical-world signals into meaning.
archetypeai.ioComputers that use light to make intelligence almost instantaneous.
hartleyultrafast.comA new route to commercial fusion, built around solid-state materials.
eosatomics.comFoundation models for extreme physics.
zenithon.aiVideo infrastructure that makes millions of hours of experience usable for world models.
videodb.ioThe intelligence layer for the advanced materials behind everything we build.
StealthAI-native product design, from idea to physical product. Starting with jewelry.
blng.aiThe design model inside the world’s leading LLMs.
magicpath.aiTelecom infrastructure for a world of autonomous agents.
StealthWe work alongside founders on product and narrative clarity, from figuring out what to build to helping people understand why it matters.
Newton, a foundation model for the physical world that runs agents in real-world environments.
"Strange was the first investor we spoke to. This was pre-physical AI, and she got our vision immediately."
Data infrastructure for real-time video, built for machines and agents.
"An incredible partner to have on our side."
Physical AI for life sciences. Multiply builds robotic clusters for biomanufacturing.
"A true thought partner who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and jump into standing meetings."
A podcast & interview series · Coming soon
Ideas and inventions shaping the age of intelligence. Conversations with founders and researchers about what they’re making, how it works, and what comes next.
Founder Residency
For people pursuing an idea that could change the world.
Focused work, generous exchange, and conversations that challenge what you think is possible.
Applications opening soon
Essays, research, and observations from the future of computing.
Google prepares to test TPUs in orbit, Meta turns Muse into a consumer AI stack, and inference valuations surge (for now) even as frontier models get cheaper
AI agents leap cyber capabilities and breach live systems, CXMT starts mass-producing fifth-generation DRAM, and OpenAI acquires Glass Imaging.
OpenAI’s mathematics claim meets pushback from 25 Fields medallists, Meta joins the personal-agent race, and Anthropic says some Kimi users were getting Claude.
Our work takes us into labs, workshops, and conversations with people building things we want to understand. Our research fellows bring expertise in robotics, materials, manufacturing, and computing infrastructure.
