⚙️ How can we elevate manufacturing to new heights of efficiency and innovation across diverse industries? ⏳ In sectors like battery production, aerospace, semiconductors, and electronics, scaling up advanced materials manufacturing is a challenge. A lack of real-time data across critical quality metrics lead to significant waste and long ramp-up times, ultimately undermining economic viability. 🔬 For example, in the battery production industry, the production ramp-up time for novel battery chemistries currently spans years and suffers from scrap rates exceeding 40%. 🛠 SirenOpt addresses these challenges with its manufacturing intelligence platform, collecting data non-destructively and providing real-time insights into crucial material properties. By significantly reducing scrap rates and accelerating time-to-market, SirenOpt’s technology transforms manufacturing efficiency. 🚀 That’s why we are thrilled to welcome Jared O'Leary, John Busch, Ali Mesbah, and the entire SirenOpt team to the TOMORROW family - successfully closing a $6.6 million Seed round we led together with Voyager Ventures. We look forward to redefining advanced manufacturing together! ▶︎ Find more information about SirenOpt and the funding round here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gh_cqji3 #climatetech #venturecapital #investing #manufacturing #batteries #aerospace #electronics #semiconductors

TOMORROW is officially live! Say hi to our early-stage climate deep tech fund. We are here to supercharge the next era-defining companies leveraging breakthrough technologies to tackle the climate crisis. The past 150 years of innovation have produced material wonders that have fuelled unprecedented growth and transformed our world. Modern technologies such as power generation, synthetic fertilizers, transportation, plastics, and construction materials have unlocked possibilities for humanity that our ancestors could only have dreamed of. However, these advances have also brought about drastic consequences. Long-stable climate patterns are wavering, oceans are acidifying, and resource shortages are triggering conflicts and extinctions. Today, our industrial systems are threatening the ecosystems at the very basis of our existence. To create a prosperous world for future generations, we must, therefore, radically rebuild our world's largest industries - in the physical world. We need transformative technologies brought to life by courageous changemakers. Leveraging our Visionaries Club DNA, we connect the dots, bringing together the builders of tomorrow with the industrial and entrepreneurial giants of today. We are thrilled to embark on this journey and look forward to connecting with you through our new website → https://tomorrow.vc Sebastian Pollok, Thong Le Hoang, Robert Lacher, Linh Seidel, Emilie Cousin, Olivia Suchy, Jacob Maximilian Hammerer, Justus Hagebölling

Congratulations to Cosmic Aerospace and the team around Christopher Chahine, Marshall Gusman & Joe Wilding for successfully closing their $4.5m seed round to decarbonize air travel! We look forward to working with the team and our co-investors Pale blue dot, Fifty Years, Aera VC, and Possible Ventures on propelling electric aviation forward! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴? Cosmic Aerospace focuses on developing the world’s first electric aircraft capable of flying up to 1,000 kilometers (more than 600 miles), representing a step-change in range among current electric aircraft offerings. This puts them in a unique position to lead the transition toward zero-carbon air travel, starting with regional aviation, thus already covering more than 50% of global flights. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? The aviation industry currently contributes ~3% of global annual CO2 emissions, with a significant portion coming from flights under 1,000km. Even though several technology pathways exist in this sector, Cosmic's focus stands out to us as a pragmatic approach to decarbonizing air travel thanks to reduced operational costs of electric aircraft and being able to build on existing charging technology. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲? Our decision to invest was primarily driven by the match between “meaningful, outsized opportunity” and our belief in the exceptional capabilities of the team. Not many teams can claim that they've already worked on 20 manned aircraft development programs, built five aircraft from start to first flight, set a flight world record, and, with Cosmic, have already built the first electric motor with the performance of a jet engine. We are impressed by their first-principles approach to aircraft design that maximizes aerodynamic efficiency and pushes the limits of the Breguet Range Equation.

We have entered the new year with style! Testing of our High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) non-planar magnet prototypes has begun. ▶ Together with our partners at Bilfinger, we are now in a new phase of lab work. At the same time, design and simulation of full-scale magnets for our #stellarators is ongoing, with a growing team based in Munich. 💡 Superconducting #magnets are a key technology for Proxima Fusion’s stellarators. Our stellarator #optimization team has been integrating engineering and economic constraints from magnets into our StarFinder stellarator optimization framework, but there are things that one must work out in the lab to prove the feasibility of our technology. As always, speed is of the essence ⚡ We are looking for the best and brightest engineers to join our magnet program. If you have relevant expertise and you want to contribute to #fusionenergy made in #Europe, we’d love to hear from you!

We are more than excited to see our Founding Partner, Sebastian Pollok, becoming a member of the executive board at Startup-Verband, Germany's Startup Association! 💯 Discover the inspiration that drove him to take the next step in shaping the future of the German and European ecosystem below! ⬇️
𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿... Do you know those turning points that massively influence the rest of your life? For me, the summer of 2009 was one of those turning points. I was one of the first 10 employees of what is now home24 SE, doing an internship for three months. Before joining, I had no real clue about what startups were. But I think it took me less than 24 hours to realize "𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴!". I fell madly in love with entrepreneurship and the idea of 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮. After more than 14 years of building, investing, and continuously learning in and about the ecosystem, that love is still going strong to this day. Thus, I'm incredibly excited about last night's German Startups Association's board elections and being able to shape the German and European startup ecosystem as part of the new Startup-Verband board alongside Verena Pausder, Nicole Büttner, Jochen Engert, Dr. Kati Ernst, Zoé Fabian, Hélène Huby, Benedict Kurz, Magdalena Oehl, and Helmut Schoenenberger! I'll primarily focus on the two topics that are closest to my heart and also the driving force behind what we do at TOMORROW: 𝟭) 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 so they're able to create true global champions based out of Germany and Europe 𝟮) 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚 by improving university tech transfers and inspiring more capital and entrepreneurial talent to help build a better tomorrow. A 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to the previous board around my dear friend Christian Miele - incredible what all of you have achieved for the ecosystem over the past four years! Big shoes to fill... 🤩 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮? Just send me a PM or leave a comment below. 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗴𝗼!! 🚀

These spooky reactors 🤖 need some #engineering! (And we're #hiring) [You guys delivered last week so we thought we'd share more :D] Our young team has more openings for rockstar scientists and engineers who could help us tame these rogue reactors (that are still in Halloween mode) and work on our novel bioproduction approach. In particular, we're looking for an Electrochemical Systems engineer and a Bioelectrochemist to lead reactor and process development respectively (links for applying below). We are also looking for junior engineers (Mechanical and Chemical Engineers) who are interested in research internships for supporting these efforts.
