Excited to be backing Brian Armstrong again with Draper Associates to fund NewLimit's impressive approach to epigenetic reprogramming. As Blake Byers says: Aging is malleable, which means it's more treatable than we previously thought possible!

I invested in Tesla, Twitch, and Baidu when they were very different ideas. But they all followed this playbook to become generational companies: 1. Make the first move You’ll have much less information than you need. But that’s okay. The truth is that founders will never

Today felt like a dream. Watching our engine take flight was surreal. Almost 5 years ago, we quit our jobs to start Venus Aerospace. And today, we made history. This isn’t just an RDRE—it’s a piece of us. Thank you to everyone who believed in us…it’s just the beginning.

A portfolio full of biotech gems. And more to come in 2025, too :)

Investing in physical AI today is like backing Apple for its idea of the iPhone... 25 years ago. Hard to visualize, but robotics and other physical AI 'forms' will be as widespread as smart phones. It's an area we're investing in seriously, and looking forward to speaking about

Who's going to New Haven? Looking forward to speaking at this summit next week - Yale University is known for many, MANY innovations in its rich history, but their research in quantum computing may be one of the best secrets. We at Draper Associates have been big fans of them,

For so long, nuclear power has been held back from its full potential. Congratulations to Team Oklo - incredible step forward!!

Our co-founder and CEO Jake DeWitte joined CNBC Squawk on the Street this morning: “People think nuclear will be out in the 2030s and beyond. It doesn’t have to be and it isn’t. For us, we have a site. We have fuel. We’ve been making steady progress for a long time. We’ve been at this

Team Oklo, and team nuclear energy, always - nice work Jacob DeWitte!

Instead of forcing factories to adapt to robots, this robot adapts to existing operations! This is the Peer 3000. It’s Peer Robotics most advanced collaborative mobile robot yet, and it's solving a massive problem in manufacturing automation. They work with existing pallets,

Stock where you shop = i.e., if you're a Disney+ subscriber, buy DIS. But having an idea of where to invest is not the obstacle most users have. It's 1) understanding the investing process to be comfortable investing, at all, and 2) having the time and financial resources to

Great addition to the Draper Dragon portfolio - welcome Veda!

How worried should venture investors / startup board members be about letting founders select their own customers and maintain their own "blacklists"? Having talked to the US Armed Forces and other agencies on how they procure defense tech /"dual-use" startups, I am not worried

Traditional rocket propellant needs weeks to cure, meaning there's weeks of delay built into the space and defense supply chains that carry it. That's a delay worth disrupting, which Draper Associates port co Firehawk has done. Their rocket propellant production cycle is mere

The world needs more clean, reliable energy. But most nuclear power is stuck in a model that’s too big, too slow, and too expensive. Oklo is changing that—with small, fast-to-build powerhouses and a model that lets customers buy energy like a service. Watch the full story:
