We back the founders moving
the edge of what’s possible.
Meet Apollo 2Discover Apptronik The next era is taking shape in workshops, laboratories, and lines of code. Meet the companies bringing it closer.
Apollo 2 brings AI into the physical world. Apptronik’s modular humanoid platform is built for real work—and for the real-world learning that robotics needs next.
Apptronik unveiled Apollo 2 and announced an expanded Robot Park
Lemurian is developing Tachyon, compiler and runtime software designed to move AI workloads across processors and create a more open foundation for what intelligence can become.
Extellis is developing satellite radar based on metasurface antenna technology born from Duke research. Its system is designed to see through clouds and darkness, offering a new way to understand a changing planet.
The extraordinary looks improbable
until someone builds it
We’re drawn to that moment: when a scientific breakthrough is real, its commercial future is still taking shape, and a founder is ready to cross the distance.
Exploration has always needed people willing to back a journey before the destination is certain. Today, that journey begins in a lab, a new material, or a machine learning to move.
