Stephen Marcus shared thisIncredible ride -- very fortunate to work with this team!Stephen Marcus shared thisShield AI to acquire Aechelon Technology Inc. and raise $2B at $12.7B valuation. We’re accelerating the shift in how defense systems get built: increasingly shaped in software, trained in simulation, and improved through use. Aechelon, a Sagewind Capital portfolio company, is one of the most trusted simulation companies in defense. Their technology is used to model real-world environments and test systems before they fly. Bringing that capability together alongside Hivemind connects how autonomy is trained with how it performs in the field, helping customers move faster and field capability with greater confidence.

Stephen Marcus shared thisThe best team in nuclear led by @isaiah_p_taylor. Super proud investor!Stephen Marcus shared thisI'm excited to announce a $19m seed round led by Riot Ventures, Initialized, and AlleyCorp, with participation from amazing new parters such as Steel Atlas, Day One Ventures, Stifel Bank, Naval Ravikant, Balaji Srinivasan, and Charlie Songhurst. We've also completed two important milestones: First, we have completed the construction and pressure certification of our thermal prototype, Ward Zero, at our Los Angeles facility—the fastest in history a thermal test unit has been developed and built. Ward Zero will be unveiled next week at an exclusive event in LA. Second, we're so excited to announce a Coordinated Research Project with the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute. The goal of this project is to develop and deploy Ward One, our first nuclear reactor and the world's first operational Gen IV micro-reactor. This is just the beginning. The goal of Valar Atomics is to make the world's energy by building nuclear reactors at planetary scale. To do that, we must set a pace of building and iteration to rapidly scale and commercialize our reactor architecture. Today, we set that pace. I can't overstate my gratitude to the Valar Atomics team. In the last 12 months they've proven themselves to be not only one of the most talented engineering teams in the world, but also the most determined. I'm inspired to work with them every day and to bring their work to you!

There were almost zero investors in Silicon Valley or Los Angeles who could make the leap that the world had changed (we ran into well known VCs who told us that LLMs were toys 😂). True seed stage investors are what make the whole venture ecosystem work and they are not celebrated enough. Kindo is now 34 talented people, raised $27.6M and helping $Billion+ companies securely deploy generative AI to their workforce around the USA.

Stephen Marcus shared thisThis is the futureStephen Marcus shared thisShield AI recently executed the first-ever dual AI pilot, four-ship, jet aircraft flights in the national airspace. The program was a smashing success - executed ahead of schedule and under budget - showing the portability, extensibility, quality, and safety of our AI pilot and AI pilot development systems. Perhaps more significant than this outcome, is the process that is enabling these outcomes. More on that later! Congratulations to our teammates at Shield AI and Kratos Defense and Security Solutions

Stephen Marcus liked thisToday, we announced that Aechelon Technology Inc., one of the most trusted simulation companies in defense, will join Shield AI. It’s an exciting step forward for us, and it also reflects where defense is headed. Expanding our simulation technology enables us to test, iterate, and refine software in real time. Bringing that capability alongside our Hivemind software will accelerate development and increase confidence in every autonomous system we deliver to warfighters. This acquisition is in part possible because we are raising $2B at a $12.7B valuation. In less than a year at Shield, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand the pace at which this team is scaling in our mission impact. Our mission is to protect service members and civilians. With a great team, strong partners, and committed investors, we’ve been able to translate that mission into real-world impact and deliver combat-proven autonomy across the globe. I recently sat down with Michael de la Merced at The New York Times DealBook to discuss what this next chapter looks like for Shield AI. Our new valuation reflects not only the results we’ve delivered for customers already, but the impact we believe is still ahead.

Stephen Marcus liked thisStephen Marcus liked thisPierre Lamond is unlike anyone I've ever worked with. At 84, he reinvented his career for the 5th time. At 95, he still hasn’t stopped. Five or six decades in Silicon Valley. Not one or two - five or six. Hardware. Semiconductors. Systems. Investing. He's seen so much that when he speaks in a board meeting, the room goes quiet. He was at Sequoia for nearly 3 decades. Then he went and ran toe-to-toe with Vinod Khosla for another 6 years. And then, at 84, he co-founded a VC fund with Lior Susan and a year later, joined Cerebras' board. The most important thing I learned from Pierre is simple: Fearlessness. He just operates like the fear has been completely removed. Whatever's on his mind comes straight out. No filtering or holding it for a 1:1 afterwards. He was the one who around the Cerebras board in 2019 and said: "You're going to be talent constrained. Go find deeper pools abroad." While everyone else was wringing their hands about how hard it was to hire, Pierre was already pointing at the answer. Here's a guy in his mid-80s solving problems that us 40-year-olds at the table were complaining about. That's what reinvention looks like at the highest level. It's not starting over from scratch. It's taking everything you know - all that pattern recognition and trust - and applying it somewhere new, with the same energy you had at 40. I don't think you could have a single conversation with Pierre and not learn something about yourself, the problem you're working on, or the market you're in. That's rare. At any age.

Stephen Marcus liked thisStephen Marcus liked thisThis is a train being built in seconds. No yard. No mechanical coupling. Two autonomous vehicles align bumper to bumper and instantly form a synchronized platoon. That flexibility changes the economics of freight rail. You do not need massive density to run service. You do not need centralized assembly to scale. You can dynamically build capacity where and when it is needed. This is what autonomy and electrification make possible. #AutonomousRail #FutureofFreight #ParallelPlatoons

Stephen Marcus liked thisStephen Marcus liked thisMonday I was in Denver with True Anomaly as they hosted Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for the Arsenal of Freedom tour. A 3.5 year old company welcoming the leader of the Pentagon to its headquarters is a statement. That's a clear signal about how fast True Anomaly is moving and how urgently the DoD needs what they're building. Hearing directly from Secretary Hegseth, and leaders on staff like Emil Michael and Under Secretary of War Michael Duffey, was striking. The intent is clear: remove the bureaucracy that has slowed defense procurement for decades and work directly with the private sector to move faster. That's not just rhetoric. Showing up at a startup's HQ to reinforce the importance of our work is proof of intent. True Anomaly is redefining space security. In just over three years, they've launched spacecraft, built a SW OS for operating autonomous systems on orbit, and earned the trust of the highest levels of program offices in the defense establishment. What Even Rogers and his team have built in that window would have taken a legacy prime a decade or more. Another important element that stood out to me that day was how connected the ecosystem is becoming. True Anomaly hosted key partners, like Ursa Major, at the event. I am excited about the growing modern industrial base that is emerging. These growth stage startups share suppliers, customers, hard won lessons, and momentum. Ursa Major is delivering American made propulsion. True Anomaly putting it to work in orbit. Both companies moving at a velocity that entrenched incumbents can only dream of. That's what a modern defense industrial base looks like. Eclipse has spent 11 years backing founders rebuilding America's physical industrial base. Space, defense, energy, robotics, advanced manufacturing. What started as individual bets now looks like something bigger: an interconnected, execution-driven network purpose built to secure the United States. The rebuilding is happening. Not someday. Right now. Lior Susan Aidan Madigan-Curtis Charly M. Greg Reichow Jiten Behl Joe Fath Kaitlyn Glancy Will Coffield Christopher Spagnoletti Ben Nicholson Rob Aalseth Sarah Walter

Stephen Marcus liked thisEpic day at True Anomaly. Thank you to Pete Hegseth and the United States Department of War for taking time to rally the troops.Stephen Marcus liked thisOn Monday we had the honor of hosting Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, at our Denver headquarters as part of the administration’s Arsenal of Freedom tour. Space is no longer a peaceful domain. It is a warfighting domain we depend on but is contested by our adversaries. It must be protected. There has never been a stronger focus from the federal government on the importance of space defense, and we applaud the administration’s focus on strengthening the U.S. arsenal from the ultimate high ground of space. It is time for the U.S. to revitalize the defense industrial base, and there is now a radical focus from the United States Department of War on delivering next-generation hardware and software capable of competing in a modern era of conflict. True Anomaly is answering the call.

Build. Launch. Operate. Most space companies aren’t really space companies, they are SaaS or data product companies. An end-to-end space mission company can reduce costs and headaches. Gilmour Space landed $200M + last month and while most will recognize them as a launch company, they build satellites and provide end-to-end mission services. Space is fun, so a lot of companies get caught up in the Sat development when they really need to focus on their payload and business plan. Go-to-market is hard, just like space. Once you get to space, then the really hard part kicks in: generating revenue and customer acquisition. Many will wish they outsourced the space part earlier to focus on the sales and relationship building. I’m not saying you can’t do it on your own. But you should at least explore outsourcing the “easy” part Gilmour Space Technologies #smallsat #space #launch

Strategic Consolidation in Defense Tech: A Signal, Not an Isolated Deal The recent acquisition of Spear UAV by Uvision a full-ownership consolidation after leading a strategic financing round underscores a deeper structural shift in defense tech markets. What might look like another M&A headline is really a multidimensional signal about how tomorrow’s battlefield tech economy is evolving: Capability integration over point solutions. Uvision’s move to absorb this capability expands its reach across swarms, multi-domain penetration, and heterogeneous launch environments. From units to ecosystems. Traditional unmanned systems markets are fragmenting into layered operational ecosystems: loitering munitions, autonomous launch vectors, and intelligent deployment platforms. Integration bets like this acquisition are instruments for building composable defense stacks rather than single-product portfolios. Consolidation as a response to demand acceleration. Sustained operational demand and geopolitical pressure are forcing established players to accelerate capability breadth and depth. Winning tech in one niche isn’t enough; leaders are integrating adjacent domains (naval, ground, air) to secure comprehensive solutions. Implications for investors & founders. This isn’t merely about exits: it’s about architecting durable, interoperable capability chains that can scale globally. For VC portfolios, it reframes diligence toward: • Systems that can plug into multi-domain operations • IP that materially enhances platform value when recombined • Founders building with acquisition synergies in mind At OpImpact.fund, we see this as part of a larger thematic arc: defense tech is consolidating around networked lethality and modular deployment, not standalone widgets. Deals like this are the market shouting that integration, interoperability, and scalability are the currencies of value creation in 21st century defense.

🚨NEW EPISODE: Recorded live at FUTURE TITANS 2026 - Jeff Perry of Carta sat down with the iconic Seth Levine, co-founder of Foundry. Seth has been in venture for 25 years, built Foundry from scratch as an emerging manager himself, and has backed about 50 emerging manager funds through his fund of funds. He has genuinely seen every side of this table. They went deep on building Foundry, why VCs are in the influence business, not the decision business, and why the concentration problem in venture is not only bad for LPs, but also for the innovation ecosystem overall. And why Seth's new book, Capital Evolution, is so important for the future of America. 🎧 Links to listen... Apple: https://lnkd.in/ehQUQ2EM Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eU4FExpg

Another major leap forward for AST SpaceMobile and for space-enabled telecom. This week, AST announced a formal commercial agreement with Verizon to bring direct-to-cell services to Verizon customers starting in 2026. It builds on Verizon’s $100M strategic investment made last year and follows a series of successful trials. AST now holds commercial agreements with AT&T, Vodafone, and Verizon, a powerful endorsement of its direct-to-device model. Meanwhile, Verizon continues to work with Skylo, another Seraphim Space portfolio company, in the growing non-terrestrial connectivity space.
