Jack Abraham shared thisExcited to launch Sauron! With crime on the rise, we need better tools and systems to defend our homes, families and communities. Sauron uses sensor fusion and much of the technology in self driving cars, robotics, and defense to both accurately detect and autonomously deter criminals to keep you safe. Think what Anduril did to protect our nation, Sauron will do for our homes. Couldn’t be more excited to be building this with Kevin, Vasu and the Atomic and A* teams! 🤖 👁️Jack Abraham shared thisThrilled to have launched the future of home security with Sauron at Art Basel Miami last Thursday! Huge thanks to my friend and co-founder, Jack Abraham, for helping us host an incredible event, and to our talented co-founder Vasumathi Raman for driving forward this category-defining technology along with Yvonne M., Peter Stephens, Ryan Peer. Together, we’re building the only platform that reliably identifies, understands, and deters threats. Stay tuned for more updates!

Jack Abraham reposted thisJack Abraham reposted thisThis morning, Fast Company named Atomic on its 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators list, recognizing companies that demonstrate a “commitment to capturing great ideas, wherever they originate.” We’ve learned over the past decade that sometimes the great idea isn’t even enough. Today, we strive for the *exceptional* idea, and continue to hone our playbook and system to separate the *exceptional* from the rest. And we also know that we need the *exceptional* talent to partner with us to turn these ideas into products, businesses, and companies. Come build with us!

Jack Abraham shared thisExowatt launches today! ☀️ The power requirements to scale AI are astronomical. Within a decade AI will require 650TWh of new power generation – more than the electricity demand of South Korea. In the U.S. alone, data centers will require the equivalent amount of electricity to power 40 million households by 2030. Exowatt P3s can generate electricity at scale at just a $0.04 LCOE and with entirely renewable tech. That’s lower than the cost of most fossil fuels and doesn’t account for subsidies. We have already amassed a 1.2 GW backlog, worth $Bs from the mega tech hyperscalers, energy and data center companies. The system works by capturing the sun’s energy in the form of heat, storing it in a heat battery and converting it to electricity via a heat engine even when the sun is no longer out. This changes the economics of solar by solving a problem called the “Duck Curve” where all conventional solar producers are forced to sell their power at the same time while at maximum output, driving the electricity cost sometimes to zero or negative intraday and leaving no supply at night. Data centers need to operate 24/7 and typically have 60% of their OPEX from energy costs, so an inexpensive and ever available alternative is very important to them. Data centers are straining to bring capacity online and without solutions like Exowatt, are being forced to turn to fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. We hope you’ll join us in pushing forward an abundant and non fossil fuel powered future!⚡️ https://lnkd.in/ewcUpW9tAltman-Backed Startup Bets on Heat and the Sun to Tackle AI's Massive Carbon FootprintAltman-Backed Startup Bets on Heat and the Sun to Tackle AI's Massive Carbon Footprint

Jack Abraham shared thisExcited to announce Exowatt, backed with $20M from Sam Altman, Andreessen Horowitz and Atomic! We've invented a new solar technology that can power the future of AI and data centers with lower electricity costs than fossil fuels. We have significant deployments coming this year. One of the biggest problems of our time is figuring out how to power a future of abundant, cheap artificial intelligence without harming the planet. Our mission at Exowatt is to do this at scale with a modular approach and bring the cost of electricity down to $0.01 per kWh over time.

Jack Abraham liked thisJack Abraham liked this🚀Boom! Nscale Energy & Power, fka American Intelligence & Power Corporation becomes first and only utility+hyperscale neocloud player working on new class of AI factories: FLEXIBLE energy assets, supporting power grids by modulating consumption with on-site generation and storage. I first met Varun Sivaram of Emerald AI on panels debating the future of energy and AI load. We saw the same problem — AI will be constrained by power. But we came at it from different angles. I’ve spent the last few years VERY focused on unleashing every new economic gigawatt we can. So at 8090 Industries, we became early and large investors in incredible companies like Oklo Inc, Quaise Energy, Exowatt, Voya Energy, Eclipse Energy and others. Ultimately, I partnered with Daniel Shapiro and team to build American Intelligence & Power Corporation and our 8GW Monarch Compute Campus in West Virginia. After last week’s merger with Nscale, now known as Nscale Power & Electric. Varun took a different view: What if the answer isn’t just more power — but making the grid itself intelligent and flexible enough to handle AI? Two different paths to the same destination. Today, those paths converge. Excited to be partnering with Varun Sivaram and his team at Emerald AI alongside NVIDIA and leading utilities across American including Vistra Corp., The AES Corporation, Constellation, Invenergy to build a new class of infrastructure: AI factories that don’t just consume power — but actively work flexibly with the grid. This is the unlock: ⚡️→ Build new power where it makes sense 🦾→ Flex existing power where it exists 🏭→ Turn AI from grid constraint into grid asset The beauty of this country is that the best ideas don’t cancel each other out — they stack. And when they do, entirely new systems emerge. We’re excited to be working together to build what the future of the grid could look like.

Jack Abraham reacted on thisJack Abraham reacted on thisOur engineering team at Elly gave me access to GitHub and Claude Code last week and I've been pushing PRs pretty much daily. Over the weekend, I decided I wanted to solve one of the biggest problems in hiring today: Resume Overload For candidates, AI has made it easier to apply to thousands of jobs with individually tailored resumes with one click. For recruiters, that is... a nightmare. You need to find a way to prioritize 1,000+ applications without just keyword matching. Elly leverages context across the job and the entire resume to determine who might be a good fit, not who has the most matching keywords. Excited to share a preview for this super lightweight resume review tool. Comment "resume" below and I'll send you a link to test it out! (ty Anthropic for letting me do this with no ability to write a single line of code)

Jack Abraham reacted on thisJack Abraham reacted on thisWe were the first check into Quince, years before anyone was talking about them. Today they raised at a $10B valuation. Drew and I are sharing the thesis behind the investment for the first time. The bet was deeply contrarian. D2C was a graveyard and "affordable luxury" sounded like an oxymoron. But we loved both the idea and the founder. Quince ships luxury-grade goods — cashmere, Italian leather, silk, fine linen — direct from the factory to your doorstep, cutting out every middleman and brand markup. A cashmere sweater that's $300 at a department store is $50 on Quince. We also invested in Sid G. We met him years before Quince existed and knew we wanted to back whatever he built next. He's since built a company with a real supply chain moat — 100+ factory relationships, massive purchasing scale, and a brand that has crossed into the mainstream. Couldn't be more proud of the team. We think it's still early. https://lnkd.in/gD5eVPz3

It means telling a story that changes what people believe is possible. Kathryn Beiser, our new Chief Communications Officer, has decades of experience doing exactly that. She’s a 4-time CCO and PR agency vet who has spent her career launching, building, and elevating corporate brands at Discover, Kaiser Permanente, Edelman, Hilton Worldwide and most recently Eli Lilly and Company.

ESOPs are a retention tool that most startups design too loosely at the start. Vesting schedules, cliff periods, exercise prices, pool size relative to the cap table each of these decisions has downstream implications for hiring, fundraising, and eventual exits. Founders who build their ESOP policy before they need it rarely have to undo a bad one mid-round. The best time to get the structure right is before the first grant goes out.

I’m thrilled to officially announce our $3M seed investment in Propel People, a company we built inside the 1848 Ventures studio to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the #construction industry today: the skilled #labor shortage. For small and medium-sized contractors, hiring isn't just a challenge. It's the number one threat to their growth, profitability, and safety. With 94% of contractors struggling to find qualified workers, it’s clear that traditional hiring methods aren't built for the trades. That’s why we built Propel People. It’s a mobile-first, AI-powered hiring platform designed for how construction actually works: in the field. By leveraging smart candidate ranking, instant #SMS-based screening, and a fully #bilingual interface, Propel helps contractors build great crews faster and more efficiently. I’m also thrilled to formally announce that industry veteran Dexter Bachelder is at the helm as CEO. Having worked with Dexter and the team over the last few months, we've already seen the impact of his leadership. His 25 years of experience scaling construction tech companies will be instrumental as Propel People enters this initial stage of growth. This investment reinforces our core thesis at 1848 Ventures: building AI-native companies that solve fundamental pain points for the #SMBs that form the backbone of our economy. A huge congratulations to Dexter and the entire Propel People team on this milestone. We are incredibly proud to partner with you to support the people who build our world.

Smart founders know that compliance isn’t ops. It’s strategy. If you're still treating compliance like a backend chore, you're already playing catch-up. Today, regulatory readiness wins deals: Vanta raised $150M by solving audit-readiness for others. YC-backed founders are automating AML, KYC, and SOC 2 before they even hit revenue. Sequoia is doubling down on compliance-first startups. Why? Because investors are tired of cleaning up founder messes after term sheets are signed. Because Binance’s $4B fine reminded everyone what ignoring AML can cost. Because you don’t scale into regulated markets without a playbook. Founders who embed compliance into product, go-to-market, and hiring? They move faster. Raise easier. Sleep better. Compliance isn’t the final step before launch. It’s the foundation for crossing borders, closing rounds, and building trust that lasts. 📌 At Azentiq Nexus, we help crypto and fintech founders lead before regulators knock. #CryptoCompliance #StartupLeadership #MiCA #STABLEAct #Web3Startups #Azentiq https://lnkd.in/d6ZHYNeE

Plaid's CEO just said the next five years will look completely different than the last five, but somehow that's not even this week's biggest plot twist. This week, we're breaking down the moves that matter: 💡 Plaid CEO Zach Perret tells Karen Webster the company is evolving from data connectivity to becoming "the analytics platform for financial services" while betting big on agentic AI. https://hubs.ly/Q03v4JdD0 📉 Main Street businesses are struggling hard, growing at just two-thirds the rate of larger companies as restaurants and retail get hammered by cautious consumer spending. https://hubs.ly/Q03v4H_C0 🛡️ Block's Brian Boates reveals how Cash App prevented $2 billion in P2P fraud since 2020 using machine learning models that warn users about only 1.5% of payments. https://hubs.ly/Q03v4GPm0 ⚖️ A federal judge rules Anthropic can train AI with books without permission under fair use, dealing a major blow to authors seeking copyright protections. https://hubs.ly/Q03v4G-d0 🏦 Mastercard opens its account-to-account instant payments sandbox to UK banks, letting them test new services without breaking critical infrastructure. https://hubs.ly/Q03v4H1Q0 💰 Fiserv launches its own stablecoin FIUSD on Solana, joining the rush of traditional finance companies entering the digital asset space. https://hubs.ly/Q03v4G-f0 Big question of the week: If AI companies can legally train on copyrighted content, what does that mean for every creative industry's future?

Founders are often optimistic about growth. Sometimes, that confidence leads to funding ideas that don't fully pan out. Royalty-based growth capital is structured to limit downside risk compared to traditional venture-backed paths. Vik Thapar of Cypress Growth Capital explains that, even if outcomes fall short of early expectations, founders often still exit with meaningful results because they retain the majority of ownership. 🎙️ Tune into the Private Equity Value Creation Podcast: https://lnkd.in/gxkEsH3Z 👇🏽 Find Us Here https://lnkd.in/gTdPMk8P #privateequity #privateequitypodcast #privateequityvaluecreation

Most startups are built to be acquired. Designed for a 3-year exit. Optimized for metrics that look good in a deck. Built to someone else's timeline. That's not a criticism. It's just not what we're doing. Viren Holdings exists to build technology that outlasts trends. Platforms that are still relevant in a decade because they were designed from first principles — not market pressure. The ventures we incubate aren't chasing funding rounds. They're solving problems that don't have clean solutions yet, in spaces where patience is a competitive advantage. Short-term startup culture rewards speed. We respect that. We're betting on depth.

The new SaaS fundraising playbook is lean, focused, and unforgiving. 👇 Not so long ago, founders in LA could raise $5M with a big vision and a deck. Today? You need real traction, clear margins, and a finance stack that works. We’ve been watching the shift closely... and it’s not just anecdotal. Here’s what’s happening: • Late-stage deals are disappearing. Mega-rounds are rare. • Early-stage is still active, but round sizes are smaller. Median pre-seed is now $260K. • SAFEs dominate, valuations are flatter, and teams are staying tiny on purpose. • Investors care less about growth at all costs and more about Rule of 40 performance. • Usage-based pricing is up. Freemium is down. Pilots, paid trials, and outcome-based pricing are rising fast. • And the AI wave? It’s real. But it comes with scrutiny. Founders are raising less, hiring slower, and building smarter. And that makes financial clarity more important than ever. If your startup is trying to make the most out of a lean round, reach product-market fit without chaos, or structure your pricing and forecasting to support a raise in 2025... we can help. This market rewards precision. That’s what we’re built for -> CROWN

Most GPs think about fundraising this way: 1. Build pipeline 2. Win commitments 3. Service LPs 4. Repeat Here's why that's backwards. JD Saint-Martin spent 5 years in PE/VC before scaling Lightspeed from $75M to $1.2B. His advice? "I'd start at the END of the bow tie." "Before you start to add more leads or prospects, make sure that the LPs you have right now are really happy and really delighted." 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓: "The easiest dollar to get is the dollar that you keep." "A leaky bucket is always going to be harder to fill." Think about the math: - Re-up from existing LP: Established relationship, known performance, shorter decision cycle - New LP acquisition: Zero relationship, full diligence, 12-24 month cycle Where should you spend your marginal hour? 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐂𝐘 𝐄𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐂𝐓: "Delighted LPs will be the best advocates to speak on your behalf to fill the top of the funnel." Thomas Terrats describes what he saw at Inovia Capital: "When looking to fill the left side of the bow tie, I would go to our LPs and see: Are they happy? Would they make an intro to their co-investors? Are they willing to trade 2-3 intros for the next fundraise?" "That tells you a lot. And then you have a very curated pipeline." 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐘𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐘: "Having been an LP myself, I've seen a lot of appetite to get the first check in, but then not the same energy to continue growing my presence in the franchise." This asymmetry is deadly. LPs who feel neglected: ❌ Less likely to re-up ❌ Less likely to increase commitment ❌ Less likely to refer other LPs ❌ More likely to damage your reputation The fix is simple: Start at the end. Delight first. Then expand. "Before you add more water to the top of the funnel, make sure the buckets on the right side aren't leaking."

Today we officially kick off our $2M pre seed round for Salubrum (Backed by Forum Ventures), supported by Forum Ventures, Coeus Collective Ventures, and Draper House Americas. Healthcare companies spend over $30B a year trying to acquire patients. The problem is not media. The problem is timing. Every time a patient approaches a healthcare decision a moment opens. Which doctor to see. Which procedure to pursue. Which treatment to start. For the companies involved in that decision, knowing that moment exists is incredibly valuable. Salubrum (Backed by Forum Ventures) is building the intelligence layer that maps those decision moments across the U.S. patient population. Our system aggregates large healthcare datasets covering 300M+ patient identities and uses them to predict when individuals are approaching important healthcare decisions. That signal can then be used by providers, pharma companies, payers, and other healthcare organizations trying to reach patients at the right time. Our first wedge is patient acquisition for healthcare providers and brands, but the underlying intelligence layer has much broader applications wherever patient behavior influences economic decisions. Over the past months we have quietly built the foundation. • Early pilots validating our patient intent scoring system • Distribution partnerships forming across healthcare platforms • Backed by Forum Ventures, Coeus Collective Ventures, Draper House Americas, NEXT Canada and Metta World Peace Starting tomorrow we will be meeting investors as part of the Forum Ventures showcase. If you are an investor interested in building with us get in touch. Calendly: https://lnkd.in/e5j-VvGC Investor Memo: https://lnkd.in/e5HyemAp
