"It’s a waste to waste nuclear waste.” At the World Governments Summit 2025?in Dubai, Franklin Servan-Schreiber?took the stage to discuss how nuclear waste can be transformed into clean energy. ?? Key takeaways from the conversation: ?? The UAE is leading by example: 4 nuclear reactors provide 35% of the country’s electricity, with 4 more on the way ?? Nuclear energy can?deliver clean energy for climate change and provide power for?hundreds of thousands of years ?? Transmutex’s technology is gaining global recognition: a U.S. government grant (ARPA-E) and an investment from the German Federal Fund for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen) underscore its potential ?? Building an international coalition?is essential to accelerate this transition Watch some of the key moments from the fire chat?below ??

Isaiah Taylor’s vision for Valar Atomics is to make the world's energy at planetary scale, building nuclear reactors that can be iterated and scaled more rapidly and efficiently than ever before. Already, the team has completed the construction and pressure certification of their thermal prototype, Ward Zero, named after Isaiah’s great grandfather Ward Schaap, who was a nuclear physicist on the Manhattan Project. We couldn’t be more excited to announce Valar’s $19M seed round led by Riot Ventures with our participation alongside Initialized Capital, Steel Atlas, Day One Ventures, Stifel Bank, and others. https://lnkd.in/gRNPtrjK

We’re excited to announce our investment in Valar Atomics’ $18M seed round alongside Riot Ventures, AlleyCorp, Day One Ventures, and Steel Atlas. “While existing development scatters individual reactors across dispersed locations, Valar’s gigasite model enables continuous operation of thousands of reactors on a single site, fundamentally changing the economics of nuclear power.” - Kim-Mai Cutler, Initialized Partner https://lnkd.in/ewpwMB_r

Simply put, we should produce the best fuels as cheaply and cleanly as possible. We are backing Isaiah Taylor and Valar Atomics because their approach to reactors, hydrogen synthesis, and licensing will get us there at a price point lower than fossil fuels.

I'm excited to announce a $19m seed round led by Riot Ventures, Initialized, and AlleyCorp, with participation from amazing new parters such as Steel Atlas, Day One Ventures, Stifel Bank, Naval Ravikant, Balaji Srinivasan, and Charlie Songhurst. We've also completed two important milestones: First, we have completed the construction and pressure certification of our thermal prototype, Ward Zero, at our Los Angeles facility—the fastest in history a thermal test unit has been developed and built. Ward Zero will be unveiled next week at an exclusive event in LA. Second, we're so excited to announce a Coordinated Research Project with the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute. The goal of this project is to develop and deploy Ward One, our first nuclear reactor and the world's first operational Gen IV micro-reactor. This is just the beginning. The goal of Valar Atomics is to make the world's energy by building nuclear reactors at planetary scale. To do that, we must set a pace of building and iteration to rapidly scale and commercialize our reactor architecture. Today, we set that pace. I can't overstate my gratitude to the Valar Atomics team. In the last 12 months they've proven themselves to be not only one of the most talented engineering teams in the world, but also the most determined. I'm inspired to work with them every day and to bring their work to you!

?? GenLogs is pumped to announce the closing of our Series A funding round! Led by Venrock and HOF Capital, we raised another $14.6M to build unbreakable supply chains in order to make the world safer and stronger using ?????????????? ????????????????????????. Over 5,000 users from freight brokerages, shippers, carriers, and insurers access GenLogs' insights every week to unlock new opportunities while combatting fraud & theft. We will use the funds to quadruple our sensor network this year -- including expansion in Mexico -- while also expanding the intelligence insights, including intermodal (rail & ports). Stay tuned for more breaking updates this week...and see ya'll at Manifest: The Future of Supply Chain & Logistics next week! ???????????????????????? ??????????????:?https://lnkd.in/eYXZZVGZ ????????-???????? ???????? ????????: https://lnkd.in/ek6vXu5t Thanks to those who came into the round, including: Morgan Hitzig Nick Beim (Venrock) Hisham Elhaddad (HOF Capital) Talal Attieh Cameron Porter (Steel Atlas) Craig Dickman Jill Enos (TitletownTech) Burak Cendek (Autotech Ventures) Max Brickman Ryan Leeper Conor McGuinness (Heartland Ventures) Pat Martin Nancy Bojorquez Amy Mack (Venture 53)

Just as the 1901 Spindletop gusher marked the dawn of the modern oil industry, we are witnessing the emergence of "data gushers" - vast untapped streams of information waiting to be sensed, captured and refined into value. These data gushers, like their petroleum predecessors, are being unlocked by the fevered intersection of technological advancement and market speculation. The companies that can identify and harness these gushers stand to create tremendous value, but finding them requires understanding both the profound shifts in our ability to collect data through improved sensors and our capacity to derive meaning from it through breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Continue reading our Steel Atlas essay?to find out how to find data gushers, why Palantir became valued at $175B overnight, and what general problems remained to be solved to unlock these opportunities. https://lnkd.in/ddy5DdBr

Talal Attieh General Partner at Steel Atlas joined an expert panel at the 2024 Milken Institute Middle East and Africa Summit in Abu Dhabi to tackle the critical minerals financing challenge. Alongside leaders like Kate Richard, His Excellency Suliman Almazroua, Mark Frayman, and Boris Eykher, the discussion, moderated by Kanika Singh focused on how shortages in financing of resources like copper, cobalt, and rare earth elements will impact the future of clean energy, AI, and advanced industries in both the upstream and midstream markets globally. #MIGlobal #criticalminerals

We are proud to announce that our General Partner, Talal Attieh, was recently recognized by Forbes Middle East. https://lnkd.in/eq8VWCzX

Steel Atlas is excited to announce GenLogs Seed round we led earlier this year.
