helping @fiftyyears founders bend the arc of human history
Joined October 2020
Helping more scientists start companies is one of the greatest levers we have for solving the world's biggest problems. The Spinout Playbook has already helped hundreds of founders navigate spinning their research out of a university. 1/

5050 retreat is one of my favorite weekends all year!.
What happens when you take a group of aspiring scientist-founders out of the city and into the wild?. Welcome to the 5050 retreat. For three days, mid-program, the cohort trades research for reflection. They learn, journal, debate, build, and connect.

Why it matters: energy abundance enables human flourishing. Bend the cost curve on baseload and you bend the whole economy.

They're on track to be the first of a new breed of advanced reactors to power on in the US.

From day one, their timeline was the fastest we’d seen in nuclear. ~2.5 years in, they’ve hit every major milestones they set -- on time and under budget.

Make the reactor simpler and everything else follows: safer → faster licensing → more projects → faster installs → real cost declines.

Their thesis was ruthless simplicity: less mass, more power, and fewer parts to make the most watts per kg steel, per acre, and ultimately, per dollar.

@MattLoszak & @Yasir_Fission convinced us they would be the first and fastest to ship a new advanced reactor design. Not by adding complexity -- by removing it.

In early 2023, we were the first to back Aalo -- a tiny team with outsized ambition to make nuclear boring (in the best way).

I’m so excited to share that @AaloAtomics just raised $100M more to jumpstart the second atomic age and to be the first of a new breed of advanced reactors to power on in the US.
