The U.S. military has a problem. A recent The New York Times report uncovered a hidden crisis: chronic brain trauma is extensive in Navy's elite speedboat crews. Repeated high-impact forces wreak havoc on the body and mind—long before combat even starts. Roam Robotics is changing that. By developing wearable robotics, Roam is reducing strain, increasing endurance, and preventing injuries for soldiers operating in extreme conditions. +350% endurance boost under heavy load +200% increased strength for lifting & carrying -50% reduction in knee pain & joint strain The future of defense tech isn’t just drones. It’s augmenting the human soldier with superhuman power. At R7, we invest in the future of physical AI—to solve massive real-world problems. And the solider deserves technology that strengthens, protects, and sustains them on the battlefield. Watch Roam’s tech in action ⬇️

I don't know about you, but I always say a little prayer when passing a truck in winter conditions ❄️ Range Energy is making this a thing of the past! Top-tier safety, unmatched performance, and game-changing fuel efficiency. This team’s innovation is next-level. Watch this video to see the future of trucking unfold! #Innovation #TruckingRevolution #Sustainability

🚛⚡Range Energy and ZF have teamed up to scale electric trailers across the North America commercial trucking market! This partnership delivers a hybrid-electric solution that enhances fuel efficiency, extends the range of electric and combustion trucks, and reduces emissions for fleet operators. By integrating the ZF AxTrax 2 #eAxle into Range’s eTrailer System, this partnership advances the widespread scalability of hybrid and zero-emissions trucking.

Some ideas are larger than they appear. Hedgehog is a perfect example 🍄 Jamie Balsillie was at the Stanford GSB when he approached me with an idea to revolutionize how fungi is produced. While I was/am a big fan of Jamie I was not convinced the business could grow big enough, fast enough, and do so in an efficient manner. Six months later Jamie changed my mind. He and Wilson Ruotolo unveiled bioreactors paired with an AI-driven discovery platform to optimize the growing process and deliver superior mushrooms at lower cost. Their technology transforms agricultural waste into protein-rich foods with near-zero environmental impact. Oh yeah, and there are robots.

I believe humanoid robots will be the most important product - ever. The implications of this product cannot be overstated. Imagine a single robot learning any skill. This learning can then be instantly uploaded across millions or billions of robots simultaneously. Robots will be able to build more robots… kind of spooky. For this reason, the developers of this technology have a massive responsibility toward the world. Last year R7 and Khosla Ventures backed Sinan Filiz and the Happy Droid team in large part because of how thoughtful they are in their approach. With technology advancing at a staggering pace, supporting high integrity founders is more important than ever. Product unveiling below, another masterpiece by Mackey Saturday.

I have massive respect for the operational excellence that exists within agriculture. By applying advanced technology, I believe that can be pushed to a new level. Inevitable is a prime example. They automate every aspect of plant propagation—from environmental control to nutrient management—resulting in healthier seedlings and higher yields at a fraction of the cost. This is a massive improvement on industry standards where seeds & plants sit on the floor soaking up stagnant water. ✨ Impact: - 25% lower propagation costs - 50% higher survival rates - Disease risk eliminated 🌱 Vision: Transform how the world grows food by applying hardware, software, and AI to the current food production system.
