Another major win from the PsiQuantum team

[PsiQuantum @PsiQuantum]

AI is pushing computing infrastructure to its limits. Our photonics can help.

Today, PsiQuantum is unveiling its industry-leading Optical Circuit Switch initiative with an 8×8 OCS demo built on the company’s low-loss silicon photonics platform—the same platform we’ve spent nearly a decade developing for quantum computing.

[Andy Artz 🔮 @artzandy]

Congrats to the @psiquantum team on the continued progress

[PsiQuantum @PsiQuantum]

Today marks an exciting new chapter for PsiQuantum’s team and mission as we drive the future of computing.​

Victor Peng has been named Chief Executive Officer following his interim appointment in February.​

PsiQuantum is also welcoming Rob Soderbery as Executive Vice President and Sriram Sitaraman as Chief Information Officer.​

Together with our entire workforce, these leaders will help scale our company's engineering, technology, and operational capabilities as we build the world’s first utility-scale quantum computers and further advance our state-of-the-art silicon photonics platform.

On March 13, we rang the opening bell at @NasdaqExchange for KRAKAcquisition Corp. (KRAQU).

Nasdaq is the home of dynamic change — the internet, AI, and what we see happening now in financial markets and infrastructure. We look forward to coming back with a partner company that embodies it.

Great day with the team, families, and partners.

Thanks to @NatCapCentral, @krakenfx, @tribecap, and our advisors and independent directors @mooredant, @brevsin, @artzandy, @bendavenport, @JReedRosenthal, and @nikichain.

Special thanks to @superjz, @arjunsethi, @LaurenP0ST, and @LunaPRofficial.

@nunzi46 Love to see it

[Ravi Tanuku @RTanuku]

Excited to announce KRAKacquisition Corp. (KRAQU)—a SPAC formed in partnership between @NatCapCentral , @krakenfx, and @tribecap, where I serve as CEO.

Throughout history, speculation has catalyzed lasting innovation: Dutch East India shares created equity markets. Grain futures built the Chicago Board of Trade. Junk bonds opened mid-market capital access.

The same pattern is unfolding in digital assets. Over $240 billion in private investment since 2016. 650M+ users globally. Stablecoins settling $136B+ in payments. What began as speculation is now crystallizing into infrastructure.

We're focused on companies building the convergence of DeFi and TradFi—payment networks, tokenization platforms, blockchain infrastructure, compliance solutions. Companies ready to scale in the public markets.

Fortunate to partner with @mooredant, @brevsin , and independent directors @artzandy, @bendavenport , @JReedRosenthal , and @nikichain.

Special thanks to: @superjz @arjunsethi @LaurenP0ST @LunaPRofficial

@DStrachman This is the way

[Andy Artz 🔮 @artzandy]

capital treadmills (perpetual dilution) vs. capital catapults (front-loaded, finite dilution)

What appears to be disciplined, prudent investing (the gradual drip-feed) in marketplaces/software is actually a trap that can lead to worse outcomes than the seemingly riskier approach of larger, concentrated bets on deep tech.

[Aaron Slodov @aphysicist]

so, the whole "hardware is capital intensive" bit is basically fake, got it

@sara_spangelo Congrats sara!
