@Mat_Sherman making intros is relatively simple. making them impactful is the challenge

I’ve never seen a fundraising CRM that’s better than Google Sheets

Against my better judgement we’re trying to build something

DM for beta access

ai enables disposable software

fast enough to build for a specific need...and then throw it away when you're done

[Aaron Harris @harris]

No founder wants another CRM - certainly not for fundraising.

So we’re building a disposable, AI-driven fundraising tool. Free, complete, powered by 115k venture rounds, from first principles.

Goal: arm founders with a single product to run an exceptional fundraise, without ops debt. Never look at it again.

Looking for a few beta testers. Please dm 🤲

SpaceX isn't launching in a vacuum.

When investors consider valuation they create a set of public comps, using data from existing companies to triangulate the value of a new one. VCs do this for nearly every company they invest in. The public markets are no different.

It doesn't require a crystal ball to see the future just exceptional data (and a bit of luck)

founders treat vc rejections as an explicit judgement of everything they've ever done being worth 0

vcs reject founders as an asset allocation decision

[Aaron Harris @harris]

On the wing.

"AI for ___" companies aren't getting funded in the growth stages.

May's Series B money went to atoms, foundational models, and datacenters.

🧠 Isomorphic Labs: $2.1B for AI foundational models and pipelines for drug design

🛰️ Cowboy Space: $275M for data centers in space

🛡️ Amca: $300M for aerospace & defense hardware with rapid prototyping

🎥 Decart: $300M for real-time AI models that turn live video into interactive worlds

Along with "smaller" rounds funding the terawatts of energy this revolution needs from nuclear fusion (Thea Energy, $100M) and ocean energy (Panthalassa, $140M).

@DanielLenton1 feels like what the ai tooling for vcs should be able to handle

[Aaron Harris @harris]

nothing would change venture more than founders being willing to cold email VCs for their As

and for VCs to treat those emails with the same credibility as a warm connect

[Aaron Harris @harris]

@DanielLenton1 why?

[Aaron Harris @harris]

@FinnMurphy12 And what a home/garden!

john d. rockefeller would end his work day in the afternoon.

he had a large family with whom he spent a lot of time.

he built one of the largest businesses in history in one of the most competitive industries the world's ever known.

I do a weekly rundown, here is this week’s: https://t.co/KH4BIsBUSV

[Aaron Harris @harris]

The 3 biggest Series As last week were all deep tech:

🧬 @RetroBio_ ($1B): @sama's longevity bet using AI-designed proteins to reprogram old cells into young ones, with a goal of adding 10 healthy years to human life. First Alzheimer's trial already dosing.

�� @FocusedEnergy_1 ($240M): building the world's first industrial laser fusion plant on a decommissioned RWE nuclear site in Germany, with the utility itself writing a $60M check.

🛰️ @oursky ($90M): a global network of 40+ ground telescopes that tracks satellites and debris in orbit creating the optical "operating layer" for an increasingly contested space, run by an ex-SpaceX engineer.

Feels like we're definitely living in the future.
