SpaceX and Elon Musk are seeking to solve the impending AI data storage bottleneck problem by launching up to a million solar-powered satellites. They will be well-served to contact Lior Bar-Shalom of Arbell Energy LTD, whose revolutionary technology doubles the efficiency of current solar energy capture. Just this past week, Arbell - a recent graduate of CREATION-SPACE's Expand accelerator - won the Audience Choice Award at Israel Space Forum's IL Space Pitch 2026 in Tel Aviv. #solarenergy #Israelitech #startupnation #accesstospace #spacetech #ai #spacex #energyefficiency https://lnkd.in/eZJkaYC5

"We are excited to add Swift Navigation as our 5th portfolio company in the EnerTech Global Strategic Mobility Fund. Our investment in Swift fits squarely in our autonomy investment focus area,” said Wally Hunter, Managing Partner at EnerTech, “Their precise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology provides locational accuracy within one centimeter to improve the driver safety for autonomous driving and automated driver assistance systems (ADAS). The technology is also a key component in the industrial robotics space as the need for precise locational positioning becomes more important for rapidly expanding automation markets.”

HawkEye 360’s Series E financing and strategic acquisition mark an important milestone. HawkEye 360, a Seraphim portfolio company, has closed the acquisition of Innovative Signal Analysis (ISA), adding significant depth in signal processing and engineering and further strengthening a mission-critical, end-to-end platform. This is supported by a $150m Series E preferred equity and debt financing round, providing the capital to integrate ISA and continue scaling with discipline in a demanding dual-use market. More details here: https://lnkd.in/eAHtFfCJ Congratulations to John Serafini and the entire HawkEye 360 team on a strong step forward. John’s latest letter is also well worth a read: https://lnkd.in/e6bU-59W #SeraphimSpace #DualUse #SpaceTech #DefenceTech #NationalSecurity #SignalsIntelligence #RF #SpaceEconomy

As AI workloads eat up global computing supply, DRAM prices are surging like never before—creating major challenges for teams trying to plan out their data center spend. One of my portfolio companies, Mext, is addressing the largest cost component in the datacenter: server memory (DRAM). From being on the board of Redis for the last twelve years, I’ve learned a lot about the various aspects of this problem and approaches to solving them. Mext found a breakthrough, using new AI techniques, for dramatically reducing the amount of server-DRAM required to run applications, all while maintaining performance. It intelligently manages the server’s memory, keeping hot pages (i.e., those in use by applications) in fast DRAM and offloading cold pages (i.e., those less used) to a much less expensive memory tier (e.g., NVMe Flash). Key to the approach is ensuring cold memory pages that are about to be accessed by an application are back in DRAM before the application needs them or notices that they were gone. This is done without modifications to the application or the OS – so it can run in the cloud or on-premise. Mext thus allows applications to either run using less DRAM or keep their DRAM footprint but do more with it.

The future of AI in infrastructure won’t be won at the model layer. It will be won at the data capture layer. Detect is defining that standard — and now we have a brand to match the ambition. Big shout out to Cooth for bringing our vision to life and showcasing our culture. Our most valuable asset is our people and we will never be shy about that.

Unlike folks not actually shipping and *deploying* humanoid robots to major global customers, Agility Robotics is almost entirely free of Chinese supply chain dependencies and expects to be 100% American and close ally sourced inside 2026 Robots that actually work. For customers — and for, not against — American national security.

**The Power of Community-Driven Innovation in Connectivity** Tristan Thompson's partnership with World Mobile to launch Uplift showcases how innovative solutions can transform network accessibility. By enabling local hosts, or "AirNode operators," to profit from their community's network, this model not only incentivizes participation but also empowers neighborhoods to take charge of their connectivity needs. At ElevenX Capital, we believe that community-focused initiatives can significantly drive both social impact and investment returns. How can we further leverage local initiatives in the tech space to create sustainable growth? #investing #innovation #venturecapital #entrepreneurship

Interesting look here at how an AI pilot program is being used to help California's power grid operations run more efficiently. California’s grid operator, CAISO, will use Genie, a generative AI platform that automates outage tracking and streamlines transmission outage planning. It’s the first known use of AI in live grid operations. As utilities continue to grapple with aging infrastructure, peak demand, and renewable integration, tools like Genie can provide an invaluable boost to situational awareness, response speed, and overall grid resilience. This isn’t just innovation—it’s grid modernization in action. #PowerGrid #Energy #ArtificialIntelligence https://lnkd.in/enXAB6C5
