I spent over a year at Founders Fund searching for an American enrichment company to invest in, only to find there wasn’t one. So we built our own. General Matter is filling the nuclear U.S. fuel gap. We are enriching uranium in America, and we will be shipping by the end of the…
General Matter is enriching uranium for the US. We will revive nuclear fuel production in America. We chose to do this not because it’s easy, and not because it’s hard, but because it needs doing. Nothing gets made if fuel isn’t made. America’s ambitions, from manufacturing to…

Enrichment unlocks American power
To win the AI race and ensure global technological dominance, we need more power.

It was an honor to witness the signing of these EOs and the start of a new era in American nuclear energy. For builders and operators waiting on the sidelines, now is the time. The future we want does not happen automatically. New and existing companies need your talent and…
General Matter CEO @ScottNolan: "Just like car engines need fuel, nuclear reactors need fuel. Right now, the U.S. is completely dependent on other countries to make the key step of enrichment...and these Executive Orders are going to pave the way for the U.S. to regain its lead."
Last year, I sat down with @ScottNolan to talk about the company he was incubating at Founders Fund. Today, General Matter, a new uranium enrichment company, officially launched. 12 years in the making and only just getting started.

It's been a busy newsweek, but let's not miss this story: China has demonstrated the first commercial-scale passive cooling of a high temperature nuclear reactor with a pebble bed module. They intentionally turned off the cooling and the reactor cooled itself down, no problem.
fun fact: humanity launched more satellites in the past two years than we did in all of 1957 to 2000 accelerate
After 5+ years in stealth, yesterday @GordianBio unveiled their platform for age-related diseases. Gordian uses gene therapies to merge pooled screening and in vivo testing for the first time. The result will be better therapies, faster and cheaper, using far fewer animals.
Shouldn’t aging be part of drug discovery for diseases of aging? gordian.bio/blog/introduci… Gordian exists to move therapeutic testing from plastic wells and young mice into a living environment with all the complexity present in patients with age-related disease. We’re now…

Mike and I started working together in 2011. Our first project was a niche class at Stanford that quickly became something much bigger. What he's done at @PirateWires is already impressive and important, but I have a feeling the trajectory will be a lot like that class. Can't…
