Cold War plutonium → reactor fuel. SpaceX files its S-1. The US takes equity in quantum.
The infrastructure of the next decade is being filed, funded, and deployed.
#FutureInvestments
The physical AI stack is forming fast.
→ @Figure_robot AI: $39B — humanoid robots → @SkildAI : $14B — the AI brain that runs any robot → @BostonDynamics: ~$21–28B — 30 years of R&D → @physical_int : $5.6B — general-purpose AI for robot control.
Where do opportunities still exist?
→ Vertical-specific foundation models (surgical, agri, construction)
→ Purpose-built industrial robotics — less crowded than humanoids
→ The enabling layer: actuators, simulation
→ Europe — deep industrial base, thin investor ecosystem
Physical AI and robotics: $27.6B raised in 2025. More than double 2024.
But the market is splitting into two very different bets:
→ Humanoid / general-purpose: broad market, longer timeline (2026–2030) → Purpose-built / industrial: deploying at scale right now.
This week in frontier tech:
CFS enters PJM queue - first fusion company to get US grid connection
@Figure_robot AI: 1 robot/hour at BotQ. 24x in 120 days
Denmark freezes data center grid access. 60 GW queue vs 7 GW peak
@QueraComputing : 2-to-1 qubit ratio.
#FutureInvestments
Six deep tech signals this week - space defense, advanced nuclear, robotics AI, brain implants, fusion, and BCI.
The capital is pointed, not exploratory.
#FutureInvestments
The defense tech investor base has changed.
Founders Fund: $1B single check into Anduril. A16z: 10+ defense cap tables, $1.2B dedicated fund. JPMorgan + Point72: both launched defense vehicles in 2025.
And 85% of NATO defense VC has gone to the U.S. — Europe is catching up fast
Fusion capital, humanoid robotics, biohybrid BCI, orbital intelligence.
@ARPAE commits $135M to fusion
@Microsoft pauses CDR buying
@agibot hits live production
@UnitreeRobotics files first profitable humanoid IPO
@ScienceCorp_ preps first human BCI
@TurionSpace raises $75M+
