Today, I'm excited to share the launch of @Seneca_Systems. Seneca's mission is end the wildfire threat across 500 million acres in the US and allied nations by 2035.
115 million Americans live with fire risk. Fire costs our nation ~$1 trillion annually. It destroys our most precious wild spaces and natural capital. And for those of us who call the American West our home, this is personal.
We must face this head on. It is time that we bring firefighters the next-generation tools that heroes deserve. Seneca is building the modern fire arsenal for the highest risk period in our history.
Our first product is an autonomous, AI-powered, rapid response fire suppression drone system.
We are proud to be backed with $60 million led by @caffeinatedcap and @convectivecap with participation from @firstround , @TransitionVC, @DCVC, @offlineventures, and others.
There is no question that fire risk is growing. But we must innovate to be resilient. This is not a battle we can lose.
Many thanks to the amazing Seneca team. Proud to be in the fight with you all. @nhfoley @billclerico @adrianaoun @johnclarkemills, @DrLoriMM, Chief Rick Balentine.
And capital partners @NextViewVC @bullpencap @advanceventurepartne Advance Venture Partners, @stepstonegroup, Roar Ventures, Good Friends, @slow, @mhs Slow Ventures, MHS Capital,

Today we’re announcing $1B of Series C funding and calling on engineers, operators, and creatives everywhere to join the charge to build the future of American power.
In less than two years, Base has become one of the fastest growing energy companies in the country. We’ve deployed more than 100 MWh of battery capacity, partnered with major homebuilders and utilities, and scaled across Texas. This funding will accelerate the buildout of our first factory in the heart of Austin at the former Austin American-Statesman printing press.
But the biggest challenges still lie ahead, as demand soars and the aging grid struggles to keep up. We’re looking for problem-solvers who want to build technology to accelerate America’s growth.

Thank you to everyone who joined us earlier this week in Singapore for the StepStone Luncheon: The Case for Investing in AI through Venture Capital.
We had an engaging discussion on the fundamentals of venture capital, the importance of VC allocation in a diversified investment portfolio, and the transformative investment opportunities in artificial intelligence that exist in the VC space.
A special thanks to our speakers and attendees for contributing to a dynamic conversation about investing in the future of technology.

As we come out of the "high-velocity" period of 2020-2021 in venture capital, we keep hearing the same questions about emerging managers:
• Are/aren’t emerging funds facing insurmountable fundraising hurdles?
• Will a large percentage of them be unable to raise a subsequent fund?
• When will the number of active managers start to materially decline?
📃 Check out our latest market insights where we break it all down and share what the future might hold for these VC managers and their funds. Read more here: bit.ly/3Br1i30
