This is Your Moment in History
The Wright Brothers Moment: In 1903, two bicycle mechanics defied gravity and changed everything. In 2025, the next generation of 'impossible' builders will define humanity’s multi-planetary future. That next great innovator could be you.
We're at the most extraordinary inflection point in human history
Deep tech is no longer ‘too early’ or ‘too risky’—it’s essential and urgent
Government roadmaps are already written; commercial applications are proven; the infrastructure is being built NOW

Built by the Architects of America’s Future
Christian Elam (Co-founder & GP): Investor in dual-use and frontier tech; advised on the allocation of the Inflation Reduction Act’s $780B+ budget through public-private partnerships; co-author of the Senate-passed (91–3) Kids Online Safety Act; advisor to policymakers and government officials on dual-use technologies; appointed U.S. Peace Ambassador to the UN (2024); UC Berkeley–Haas COBE graduate.
Daniel Fata (Operating Partner): Daniel Fata brings nearly 30 years of experience in national security and government relations. He served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for European and NATO Policy from 2005-2008, advising two Secretaries of Defense and developing American defense policy across Europe, Russia, and Eurasia. Dan was Vice President for Government Affairs at Lockheed Martin Corporation, managing policy engagement, White House relations, and strategic support to LM Ventures. He currently serves on the advisory boards of publicly traded companies including Parsons Corporation and (for three years with the Boeing Company) as well as dual-use technology startups in AI, green energy, unmanned systems, space transport, and hypersonics. He also serves as a Non/Resident Senior Advisor at CSIS and as a Commissioner on the congressional-mandated Afghanistan War Commission. Dan has also mentored numerous NATO DIANA and Silicon Valley Defense Group companies.
Distinguished Venture Partners and Advisors: Ex-NASA leaders, CIA/intelligence execs, Pentagon officials, defense prime execs, and ties with 55+ Artemis Accord nations.
