DCVC

We're thrilled to announce that thanks to the most forward-looking investors on the planet, we’ve raised over $700 million for a healthier planet and healthier lives, bringing our total funding closed over the last 2.5 years to over $1.6 billion. 🌎 🌾 🧬 https://lnkd.in/gpzM57Mh

Meanwhile, two nuclear energy companies DCVC-backed from scratch through the arc of their success are key to the US military's plans for American energy dominance: Radiant and Oklo Inc https://lnkd.in/gudsCpm5

Oklo was selected by the U.S. Department of Defense as one of the companies eligible to provide microreactor power systems for military bases — advancing energy security for defense, industry, communities, and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gYtXterj

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is taking an important step to solve the nuclear fuel supply problem—the industry needs this catalytic material so the flywheel of demand can begin spinning. I’m also personally excited because Radiant is getting the fuel they need to build their demonstration reactor! This collaboration with DOE will pave the way for many reactors to follow. Thanks truly to all the people who worked on getting this done.

DCVC-backed Fortem Technologies is the solution to a rapidly growing threat: drones used by bad actors toward bad ends. CEO Jon Gruen, a former Navy SEAL, knows what he's talking about--hence his excellent testimony. 👇

Thank you Judy and the entire NYSE team for giving us the opportunity to share our journey at Rescale!

Reporter Aaron Pressman tells the story of how Lumafield is making industrial CT scanning radically more accessible with user-friendly machines like Neptune and Triton and software that runs entirely in your browser. Our platform brings non-destructive inspection to companies of every size. Historically, CT scanners were locked behind high costs and outdated software. We rebuilt the tech stack and the business model from scratch. If you’ve ever had to cut a prototype in half with a bandsaw just to understand what went wrong, or lost weeks chasing a defect you couldn’t see, you’ll understand why we started Lumafield.

The Proprio team is proud to share that our AI guidance platform, Paradigm, has received its second major 510(k) clearance from the FDA — this time for intraoperative measurements. This milestone represents the first-ever technology to provide 3D, dynamic, and segmental views of anatomy in real-time, allowing surgeons to track and measure progress during surgery without intraoperative radiation. Dr. Christopher Shaffrey of Duke Health shared,  "Our use of real-time 3D visualization enables us to measure critical outcomes like spinal alignment during procedures and reduces radiation exposure for operating teams.” Gabriel Jones, CEO and Co-Founder of Proprio, added,  "Evolving from highly educated guesswork to data-driven certainty with intraoperative measurements is game-changing. We’re giving surgeons the visibility and data they need precisely when they need it.”  We’re thrilled to continue redefining what’s possible in the OR and setting a new standard of care.

DCVC portfolio company Proprio achieved a major milestone: FDA clearance for its surgical guidance platform — an industry first. We're now one step closer to delivering Iron Man's JARVIS for surgeons. Congrats to Gabriel Jones, Samuel R. Browd, M.D., Ph.D., Ken Denman, Joshua Smith and the entire team. What a journey! DCVC is thrilled to back a true leader in improving the lives of patients and empowering the medical professionals who serve them
