A few highlights from the Industrious portfolio this month: @AntaresNuclear @lanyon_ai @NorthwoodSpace @SpaceKinetic @TurionSpace @XonaSpace

Sometimes it takes hundreds of conversations to find a lead investor. As Industrious Ventures Partner @TaylorCSargent puts it: “We have to be soldiers here.” Taylor joined @matvogels to talk about the realities of fundraising in deep tech, what gets his attention as an investor, and why founders have to keep marching when the process gets tough. Full conversation: vcsheet.com/fun-raising/in…

Industrious Ventures portco @NorthwoodSpace has opened a new 185,000 sq. ft. factory in California, expanding its manufacturing footprint more than 5x as it scales the ground infrastructure connecting satellites to Earth. Go inside the new facility with CEO @bridgitmendler and @sourceryy: sourcery.vc/p/breaking-nor…

Industrious Ventures portco @TurionSpace's DROID.002 successfully demonstrated responsive on-orbit defense capabilities during Exercise SALITRE, executing real avoidance maneuvers against a simulated adversary while remaining on-mission. Congrats to the Turion team and its mission partners! Learn more: turionspace.com/news/multinati…

Aviation technology is finding a second life on the ground. @IndustriousVC portco @AstroMechanica is in discussions with United Airlines to secure the right to purchase select engines coming off-wing from retiring aircraft, helping accelerate commercialization of its ground power platform. Built on flight heritage, the containerized systems are designed to rapidly expand access to reliable behind-the-meter power. Read more in Axios: axios.com/pro/climate-de…

We're excited to announce our investment in @lanyon_ai, a Princeton-based research lab building AI that can reason about the physical world. Across the industries we invest in, from aerospace and nuclear energy to advanced manufacturing and propulsion, engineers are solving complex physical problems where “mostly right” isn’t good enough. As AI moves deeper into these workflows, verifiability becomes critical. Lanyon’s agent is built to fundamentally expand what engineers are able to simulate and solve, while providing something frontier models cannot today: mathematical proof that its outputs are correct.

Last month, right around the time we officially came out of stealth, we also closed our initial $10.6 million fundraising round, led by @_DimensionCap, with participation from @IndustriousVC. To coincide with today's press release and the official announcement of our investors, our CEO @getjonwithit has written a short blog post introducing these new partners, and how they fit into the wider Lanyon story.

@getjonwithit @SimonDBarnett @zavaindar @_DimensionCap @TaylorCSargent @blader Excited for what's ahead!

.@SpaceKinetic landed a $50M award from the Space Force to develop Whirlwind—its space maneuverability and deployment system. Whirlwind flings small, ruggedized microsatellites from a host spacecraft at high velocities—without firing a thruster. Full story by @vicky_woodburn
