Infrequent reminder that we’re actively writing $250k to $2M lead/co-lead checks and, occasionally, angel style checks into first funding rounds of founders we love. If you or your friends are considering raising, reach out.

Thanks Shanu!
Torus raised $200M from Magnetar to accelerate deployment of their hybrid flywheel-battery power plants. Their tech combines mechanical flywheels with batteries for millisecond grid response, creating a distributed “grid operating system” for utilities, data centers & industrial

I first met the founders of Torus in 2021 when they were working out of a garage with a vision to solve energy challenges. Today, they’re leading the way in energy innovation. Their growth is one of many Utah success stories and it’s great to have seen their progress.

The best early stage to growth stage inflection points to watch for are. When a founder gives away the core GTM legos of a sales pitch and watches a sales leader adopt that pitch and modify it for themselves and the team then it force multiplies. That’s when you know you have
