[Zeno Power @zeno_power]

We are teaming up with @FireflySpace to fly our Am-241 Radioisotope Heater Unit to the Moon on an upcoming Blue Ghost mission in 2028 - keeping a payload alive through the brutal cold and dark of lunar night.

@NASAAdmin has been clear: nuclear power is crucial to building @NASAMoonBase. Zeno is ready to deliver it.

Ad lunam per nuclear!

Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold.

This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.

New album drop!!! First close of 1517 Fund IV!

Less than 15% of funds make it to Fund IV so this is a huge milestone for 1517 as we grow from being emerging managers to an emerging firm.

Watch out world, we're in this for another ten years!

Retweet and share with friends -- last call for Flux!

Leave not a wily scientist or maker stone unturned! Last call for Flux -- applications due May 11.

Bring me your wily and weird.

We'll start with a $100K investment and follow on with $1M for those reaching the stars!

Today is Reformation Day.

505 years ago, Luther nailed 95 Theses to Wittenberg church.

He protested the sale of indulgences — pieces of paper that, if you had one, you got heaven. Without it? Fires of purgatory.

Our thesis: the university degree is the modern indulgence.

"In one of our first beta applications, we caught a potential water leak and two frozen pipes in what was about to be a new school. Think of our product as a construction site nervous system." - @amschwarzy of @pillartechinc at #HardwiredNYC

@IanRountree @CantosVC Couldn't agree more. Infrastructure will enable new and valuable data streams. Control the data flow, control the value chain.

Pretty cool! #NYC buildings department has created a real-time #construction map that tracks every major project across the 5 boroughs: https://t.co/rtE4QMypZB

With the rate of tech adoption in construction, I don't see cryptocurrencies in construction any time soon. Paying through pen & paper, the oldschool way is done on purpose, to slow the process of money exchanging hands.

I see IoT as an investment companies can make in their future. There are both very good or bad investments. IoT goes the same way: you need to research, do your homework, and identify what you want in your returns. If you jump without a plan, it will fail.
