Latest Pulse

  1. Why VCs' Biggest August Checks Went to Reactors, Not AppsFive of the month's largest venture rounds funded nuclear reactors, home batteries, GPU-training infrastructure and automated factories rather than software, a distribution that says more about where capital is scarce than about any single pitch deck.→
  2. The Real AI Bottleneck This Week Was PowerThree separate US infrastructure rounds this week -- Valar Atomics' $1B nuclear raise, Base Power's $1B grid battery round, and Tesla-SpaceX's $16.8B chip fab -- show investors funding the physical layer beneath AI as heavily as the models themselves.→
  3. Hadrian Valuation Hits $7.9B on Defense BoomHadrian raised $1.37 billion led by Baillie Gifford and JPMorgan Strategic Investment Group at a $7.9 billion valuation, more than quadrupling its January mark as investors pour capital into AI-driven defense manufacturing.→
  4. Base Power Raises $1B at $13B for Home BatteriesA consortium led by JPMorgan's Strategic Investment Group put $1B into Base Power at a $13B valuation, backing a company that leases home batteries and sells the aggregated capacity back to the grid.→
  5. Base Power Raises $1B, Launches Home BatteryBase Power raised $1B at a $13B valuation and launched Base Core, a 39.2 kWh home battery built in Austin -- a bet that AI-driven grid strain shows up first at the household level.→
  6. Base Power Raises $1B More for Grid BatteriesBase Power closed a $1B Series D at a $13B valuation, less than a year after its last billion-dollar round, to keep installing home batteries at roughly 100 per day.→
