☢️ At CERN, we collided protons to study the fundamental forces of the universe. 😰 In VC I studied founders collide with a different force: burnout. Even the most brilliant founders are expected to build billion-dollar companies… while staying broke until an exit event 10 years down the line. Why? Because in Europe, selling a bit of your equity early is still seen as weak. As giving up. As if de-risking = disloyal. ✅ In physics we evolve by challenging assumptions. ❌ In the startup environment we stay stuck by protecting them. Secondaries are not a sign of weakness. It’s a strategic move building long-term resilience. 🍃 At ReBloom, we usually say we’re building an AI-powered platform for secondaries. But really, we’re building a platform for rationale.

IQM Quantum Computers has raised $320 million in a funding round led by Ten Eleven Ventures, with participation from Tesi, boosting the Finnish quantum computing startup to unicorn status. CEO and co-founder Jan Goetz shared plans for technology and global expansion, highlighting IQM's ambitions to rival industry giants like Google and IBM, as well as recent investor momentum in the quantum computing sector.

Big moves by New Mexico this week in the drive to accelerate quantum science innovation - and the ecosystem to help those new businesses thrive!

💫 Holding the future in my hands! Meet the Cerebras Systems Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) — a 300mm silicon wafer transformed into the world’s largest single processor ever built. Instead of slicing a wafer into smaller chips, Cerebras keeps it whole, integrating hundreds of thousands of AI-optimized cores with 40 GB on-chip memory and 20 petabytes/sec of bandwidth. This design removes the data transfer bottlenecks of multi-GPU clusters, enabling training and inference at a speed and scale once thought impossible. This bold approach, known as Wafer-Scale Integration, was once thought impossible but is now commercially viable, enabling unprecedented performance for AI, scientific research, and healthcare applications. With partnerships spanning national labs, pharmaceutical companies, and deep tech innovators. It was such a pleasure to meet Julie Choi in her session at Google, AI and Infrastructure. Since its founding in 2016, Cerebras Systems has raised over $700 million from some of the world’s top investors — including Benchmark, Sequoia Capital , Coatue Management, Altimeter, Foundation Capital, Eclipse Ventures, Alphawave Ventures, ADG, and G42 — reaching a valuation above $4 billion.
