Huge congratulations @IanRountree and the entire @cantos team on 10 incredible years, the close of Fund IV, and your EPIC new look.
We're incredibly grateful to have you alongside us on this journey, and excited to keep building the future together 🚀
We have two exciting announcements today as Cantos turns 10…
First, we closed our new fund earlier this year. Canto IV is a $70M fund purpose-built to lead pre-seed and seed rounds. We oversubscribed, wanting to keep it right-sized for being a founder's most aligned first partner.
Second, we launched our new look with help from our friends at @asimov_co! Cantos is so-named as an ode to epic poems, where grand stories are written in "cantos" rather than chapters. We view founders as the protagonists of today's epics and seek to back those whose deeds become the stuff of legend. Our new website is a testament to the scale of their ambitions, with visions from a future they will have shaped.

The Hardware Economy isn’t only limited by chips and power.
It is also limited by metals.
EARTH AI finds the metals.
Excited to have our Founder & CEO, Roman Teslyuk, speaking at Reindustrialize this Wednesday about one of the most important questions facing the next Industrial Era: where will we find the metals needed to build it? 🚀

We just added a new layer to how Earth AI operates 🚀
Until now, we’ve built across AI, exploration, and drilling, but lab analysis was still a bottleneck.
So we brought it in-house.
Earth AI now processes its own drill core samples, cutting turnaround time from 5 months to 5 days.
Faster data means better decisions. And better decisions mean finding what’s hidden, sooner.

Gave a presentation at Web Summit Lisbon earlier this month on critical minerals as a major resource challenge and how Earth AI is transforming discovery🚀
Also joined a fireside with @oliverbalch and @rikamarien on building AI that interacts with nature.
🚀 Proud to share that Earth AI has been recognised in the inaugural #CleanAI60, alongside ventures worldwide using AI to accelerate the clean economy transition 🌏
We’re thrilled to be part of The Future 50, a showcase of the most promising startups around the globe.
Honored to be recognized alongside so many companies pushing boundaries across industries 🚀✨
The Future 50 is here.
5 months ago, we asked +200 of the world’s best VCs to pick the 2 companies with the highest ceilings. The only rule: they had to be valued under $200M.
After months of research, we chose the 50 we believe are best-positioned to dominate.
More here:
The world is rapidly catching on: AI can transform how we discover the critical minerals and our future depends on it.
We’ve spent the past 8 years developing the technology to make this happen 🚀
