9% of global plastics is recycled. We’ll only make a dent when cost of resource > cost of sorting waste.
Today, excited to announce @DCVC leading @recycleye's $17M Series A, using #DeepTech to fundamentally shift waste economics.

VCs @kaychen22 of @DCVC, Bruce Leak of @Playground_VC and @HelenSandHill of FoundersX will discuss how the pandemic has accelerated robotics and AI investing, and whether these trends can continue amid a broader venture capital slow down. @nmasc_
With @BrimstoneEnergy $55M Series A, we're a leap closer to eliminating cement's 8% of global carbon emissions. Big congrats @cody_finke @hugo_leandri!

If you haven't pondered much on how cement and buildings will make or break climate change, @zackbogue and I wrote this post. And of course out of excitement for @BrimstoneEnergy @DCVC and the sheer scale of impact possible here!

Cement production accounts for ~8% of global carbon emissions. @BrimstoneEnergy is building the first ever zero-carbon Portland cement. Very excited to announce @DCVC @Breakthrough backing an inspiring team to tackle this hefty mission.

What a pitch! Congrats @Smartex_AI for winning @WebSummit 2021 — tackling the massive problem of global textile waste.
Proud investor @DCVC in an inspiring team: @theantoniorocha @Gilberto_M_L
A year ago, we wrote this post (bit.ly/3gSrlCo) @DCVC on @agilityrobotics building the future of repetitive physically demanding work.
Very proud of the team's latest release -> our robots work alongside people, today.
Besides mass GHG emissions & polluted drinking water, synthetic fertilizers cause oxygen depletion + aquatic life dead zones like in Gulf of Mexico.
Congrats @pivotbio @karsten - now to attack this problem AT SCALE! @DCVC @mattocko
