As Space Week in Singapore, marked by 17th Global Space Technology Convention & Exhibition, draws to a close, I'm thrilled to share my recent @ChannelNewsAsia interview with @JulieYooCNA and @BusinessTimes article on the state of space tech innovation and investments.

Space is no longer the exclusive playground of powerful governments—private investors and entrepreneurs are now a significant driving force. The ripple effects of space innovation are transforming multiple industries on Earth.

Thus, investing in space is no longer a leap of faith, but a calculated step toward unlocking the next economic frontier, attracting more investors into the field.

I'm also grateful to everyone I met in Singapore this week for your valuable insights.

Important between approx 4:40-7:30 timestamps: a terawatt for AI is twice all US electricity. The real bottleneck isn't turbines but the cast blades and vanes inside them, made by just three backlogged firms worldwide

Polsia just raised $30M at a $250M valuation.

Approaching $10M annual run rate.

One Founder + AI. Zero employees.

Polsia runs companies autonomously.

It also ran its own fundraising.

I just showed up for signatures.

scoop - anthropic told investors that it is set to turn an operating profit in q2

it expects to grow revenue by 130% to $10.9 billion in the second quarter alone -- which is almost how much openai made for full year 2025

Very worth listening

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

This was one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to

@GavinSBaker is at the top of his game

Incredible synthesis of knowledge here

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

@shaunmmaguire @GavinSBaker Indeed. Great one

In over two-thirds of the world, fertility is now below replacement rate of 2.1. In 66 countries, it is closer to one child per woman than two, and in some, the most common number is zero https://t.co/C3R8hYRiQ0 @FinancialTimes

Buildings still go up the way they did when our grandparents were kids. All3 is changing that. Machines do the lifting. Software designs the parts. A factory prints them on demand. Thrilled to back All3 @rshishkov in their $25M seed round

[Vivian Balakrishnan @VivianBala]

Thanks @Gavriel_Cohen. You’re right. I never used an IDE. Claude Code made all edits. No @karpathy ‘vibe coding’. All I did was ‘tool assembly’ to create a utility that worked in my domain!

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

Today's @INSEAD Directors Forum Asia started with the economic outlook review. The world's GDP centre has moved 5,000 km east since 1980. Singapore is a good seat for what's next. I'll be co-leading the board resilience session at 3:30pm. Drop in!

How goal setting shapes behavior

[John Bistline @JEBistline]

With the Boston Marathon today, a good time to re-up one of the greatest figures in sports data: the distribution of marathon finish times (n=9,789,093). The spike at 4:00 is not a coincidence.

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

@_Faraz 40x difference? Even more than I thought. Crazy

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

Home WiFi in Singapore: 1.1 Gbps and 5ms latency for $30 per month

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

Cool

[Neil Agarwal @regalstreak]

i accidentally discovered one of the coolest features on the internet

the Wikipedia app has a "nearby" feature that shows wikipedia articles around your location!

i opened it and instantly fell into a rabbit hole of random places, local history and weird things around me

try it and tell me what shows up near you

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

@DivesTech We should discuss deep tech while you're here

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

Insightful discussion of Singapore's healthcare strategy with Ms Wei Lin Lai, Permanent Secretary at MOH and Chairperson of MOH Holdings. Topics included navigating the transition to a super-aged society and AI integration in healthcare. Appreciate @IPS_sg organising it

"$600K buys 10%. Very rich deal. Management questionable."

Portfolio founder on a call last night: “Every spending category is below plan, except AI. That one is way above.”

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

@Nick_Davidov That's funny :)

[Mark Shmulevich @MarkShmulevich]

I believe in open source. Glad to support the launch of this endowment, a sustainable funding model for OSS projects
