We are living in the sci-fi future of our imaginations. Technology has given humanity superpowers. We can see through walls. We can turn bits into atoms and atoms into bits. We have self-driving cars and flying robots. We can also sense, build and control things we didn’t think were possible 10 years ago. Yet there is so much more to come.

We partner with mission-driven entrepreneurs who possess an exceedingly rare intellect, a creative imagination and a radical vision. They are driven by the notion that science is the great equalizer. They thrive in chaos. They are extraordinarily resilient. They work and play with knife-wielding robots, deadly lasers and contagious bacteria.
