Physical World Intelligence

Building the future of energy, oceans, space, and critical infrastructure.

We believe the next frontier of technology lies in bringing intelligence into the world around us.


Two technological shifts are converging: The first is the rapid advancement of AI and robotics make it possible to interact with complex physical environments, such as space, oceans, and subsurface.

The second is a transformation in energy. Breakthroughs in energy generation, storage, and transmission are removing fundamental constraints.

We believe the Physical World Intelligence ecosystem will be built across both foundational technologies and vertically integrated companies. A new generation of enabling technologies, including energy, advanced materials, robotics, will provide the building blocks for intelligent physical systems. On top of this foundation, category leaders will combine these technologies with proprietary data, hardware, and deep domain expertise to build end-to-end solutions for critical industries.

We partner with founders building the technologies that power Physical World Intelligence, as well as the companies applying them to transform the physical economy.
