Rebooting semiconductor supply chains is a moonshot silicon valley needed to take on for US resilience. GC backed Substrate 3+ years ago. Stoked to see this unveiled today. America invented semiconductors. We will lead again.

Substrate is building a next-generation foundry to return America to dominance in semiconductor production. To achieve this, we will use our technology—a new form of advanced X-ray lithography—to power them. America invented semiconductors. We will lead again.

Enterprise AI today is $$$ wasted on stalled pilots + decks. Percepta is GC’s new arm to actually operationalize: frontier research (LLMs + RLHF + optimization), data readiness, workflow redesign, and CEO-level buy-in. Already live across F500, gov, healthcare.

You might hate what I have to say, that doesn’t make it wrong. Venture equity dollars are allocated on a relative basis. 3/3/2/2 are not the fastest growth assets today. That’s just the truth. That doesn’t mean 3/3/2/2 are bad companies, they’re just not venture equity relevant
