Congratulations to @CapeCellular on securing a $100M Series C! John and Nick spent years at Palantir seeing how cellular networks are exploited by adversaries, and founded a company to fix it. Cape doesn't collect your name, your SSN, or your location.

February may be the shortest month of the year, but that didn't stop it from being one of the most action-packed months we've ever seen! Here are some of the awesome updates: 💰 We invested in 3 new stealth startups. 🛡️ @chariotdefense raised $34M in their Series A. 📱 @CapeCellular launched Secondary Numbers, giving folks the option to add additional lines for things like retail, or spam-heavy alerts. Additionally, all compatible devices now support Secure Global Roaming. 🚁 @paladindrones announced their NDAA-compliant drone, KNIGHTHAWK 2.0. 🔐 @PropelAuth now has MCP support, allowing authentication management for your MCP servers. 📊 @AthenaIntell unveiled a number of new features, including one in Sheets called Deep Citations – think footnotes for spreadsheets with clickable links to source materials. ⚛️ @oklo Inc was selected by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy as one of five US companies to develop recycling of used nuclear fuel. 🎖️ Rune became the only company on BOTH of the Army's Next Generation Command and Control prototype efforts, when they joined Anduril's NGC2 prototyping team. 📡 The Compression Company announced their $3.4M Seed. They're using AI-driven, onboard satellite compression to transmit data from earth observation satellites, without requiring new hardware. 🛰️ @TurionSpace deorbited their first satellite after 2.5 years in service, having completed 15,698 orbits around Earth, 1,022 tasking collects, and 26,467 images. 🤖 @SolveAI_Inc came out of stealth and announced their $50M in funding. Their platform allows non-technical users to build software applications using natural language prompts. 🚀 @Castelion was awarded a $49.9M contract with the US Navy to accelerate the development and testing of their Blackbeard hypersonic weapon. Lastly, we are wrapping up the month with a West Coast tour, complete with visits to some of our portfolio companies, conversations with some fellow VCs, meetups with a few new founders we're really excited about, and 3 Palantir alumni events. More to come on this in a future update. A huge congrats to all the teams — across the board! With momentum like this, we can't wait to see what March has in store.

The results suggest I'm getting better at this. In 2015 I started doing fewer but larger angel investments. If I filter investments 2015-2021, 18 investments: 97th percentile 😮
