We started Lux in 2000 with a simple conviction: the biggest opportunities lie at the frontier of science and technology that others find too hard, too early, or too confusing. Twenty-five years later, that conviction hasn't changed. What has changed is that the world has caught on. Now compute, automation, and biology have matured into scalable engineering disciplines, and what was once fringe "deep tech" has become essential infrastructure. New talent, new tools, and new industrial capacity now exist to turn the most cutting-edge technology across the physical, computational, and life sciences into enduring businesses. For these businesses and founders to become category-defining winners, they need meaningful capital and conviction. That is why we are especially excited to announce our largest fund to date, Lux Ventures IX, a $1.5B commitment to investing in the people turning sci-fi into sci-fact. Today entire sectors of aerospace, biotech, defense, industrials, transportation and beyond are being reinvented by a new generation of brilliantly ambitious, often irreverent, scientists and engineers. And while markets have changed and capital reshapes around fewer companies and larger checks, our focus on the craft remains constant. That focus matters because science doesn’t scale itself. The path from a result in the lab, only known to a few, to something durable the entire world will use requires a different kind of partnership. One that deploys the first $100K and the last $100M, that stays through the full arc of company-building, that mobilizes a powerful network of kinetic like-minded founders, and that treats capital as a tool rather than the product. Forty-four people at Lux now manage $7B, still operating with the same discipline and purpose we had on day one. We find and fund founders others have overlooked, back conviction over consensus, and build alongside these rebels of science and tech at every stage. We’re grateful to our valued LPs who've partnered with us through multiple cycles, and to the founders who trust us with their life's work. The mission continues, with even greater intensity and momentum. luxcapital.com/news/announci…

a ton of very exciting roles @crosbylegal ! building the future of law

Remembering my grandfather today, who led science for NASA during the Apollo Moon missions. He would have been 100 today. Proud to be a Hess and proud to be an American 🇺🇸

Today, Ramp raised $1.85B at a $60B valuation. Seven years ago, Karim and I wrote our mission on a Post-it: “Save companies time and money.” Our mission hasn't changed. It’s just gotten bigger.

Building what can't be built on Earth Orbital factories, satellite buses at scale, and a glimpse into the future they are accelerating Join us at this out-of-this-world event tomorrow where I have the pleasure of sharing the stage with greats @moislamvc @IanCinnamon and @WillBruey

Today we're announcing that Modal has crossed $1B in annualized run rate, as well as raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B valuation, led by @Accel. Since our Series C, usage has tripled and we’ve grown more than 15x year-over-year. We are deeply grateful to the developers and companies building on Modal. There's still so much more to build, and we can't think of a better time to be building software.

Let’s go!! Incredible milestone for @modal 🎉🎉

exciting new launch from @Lux_Capital riskgaming!

@goformic is working to deploy @physical_int Pi API, bringing more general purpose robotics across its existing install base of 100+ factories and warehouses.

Congrats @jaimalik Lux family co @AmcaInc & @USArmy on teaming up to strengthening our capacity for critical components.

We got over 150 people to play Europe's space leaders: primes, startups, ESA officials, and governments. Everyone had public goals and private motives (as in real life). The choice: back native EU companies or buy USA (from SpaceY, pronounced Space-ee, of course!)

Riskgaming is spreading (and everyone should “wargame” speculative scenarios - better decision-making under uncertainty is always valuable even if the scenario doesn’t come to pass)

Great startups are being built everywhere, and capital is hunting for the best teams regardless of geography Had the privilege of joining a breakfast panel for Japan's top VCs From chips to ships, Japan has the industrial base to breed world-class startups The missing piece: domestic growth capital

48 hours in Osaka meeting great founders, corporates, and government reps My message to each: Founders: trade believability for audacity, certainty for upside, and short-term results for long-term impact Corporates: partner with startups early, adapt before you're adapted to, and suspend disbelief. Governments: buy from startups instead of handing out grants, and push everyone else to do the same. Japan has all the ingredients for many more great startups!

RT @lanjiang653: Huge congrats to @iskdyl and @jzlegion! Proud and lucky to be in your corner since the beginning 🚀🚀🚀

Catalyst has already done hundreds of millions in volume, with tens of thousands of people on our waitlist. We’re working with partners like @Tempo and @Privy_io to ensure that your trades execute reliably and your funds stay secure. The team includes founding engineers from Scale AI, Palantir, HRT, Citadel, and Jump. We’ve been thrilled by this momentum and can’t wait to keep it going.

We’ve raised a $30M seed round led by @Sequoia, with participation from @Jump_, @Lux_Capital, @AntiFund, @SeliniCapital, @PeakXVPartners, SF1, and others.

Introducing Catalyst. What do you believe? How would you trade on it? You notice data centers are popping-up everywhere, gold will skyrocket, or just know that Labubus will go out of fashion. Catalyst researches your ideas, builds the optimal strategy, monitors events, and executes trades. Autonomously.

Today Hone launches Engines: AI that owns business outcomes. Chatbots give answers. Agents do tasks. Engines deliver outcomes, and we hold them responsible for creating real value, measured in actual dollars instead of tokens or vibes. You point it at a business metric, and the Engine figures out the rest. It onboards itself, builds the necessary agents, skills, and memories, collaborates with the right people, and gets better with experience. From AI leaders to global enterprises, our customers have already used Engines to: • Uncover millions in procurement savings • Optimize product funnels • Manage credit risk • Increase qualified pipeline in new territories • Accelerate implementations and improve account management To scale this impact across the economy, we’ve raised a $60M seed led by Benchmark and Index with participation from Elad Gil, Hanabi, Definition, Diffusion, Lux, SV Angel, and Align. AI’s raw capabilities are far ahead of the value it creates in the real world, and Engines will help close the gap. Here’s how they work…

Excited for @hone to launch their Engines product, reimagining how workflows work....they've created a set of proactive AI-native primitives supercharging workflows They're an incredible AI-native technical team from @cognition @mercor & they're hiring for many roles! 🚀
