---------

Industrial Heating and Cooling
Exploring thermal system innovations across industrial settings, with a focus on high-growth sectors like data centers and advanced manufacturing. Areas of interest include liquid and two-phase cooling, thermal storage, electrified process heating, heat pumps, and waste heat reuse, particularly where efficiency translates to significant cost savings and improved performance.

AI for Scale-Up
Seeking teams using AI to accelerate design and production in physical industries. Areas of interest include applications in engineering (e.g., CAD, simulation, generative design) and manufacturing (e.g., defect detection, predictive maintenance, toolpath planning), especially where domain-specific data and embedded workflows create defensibility.

Metal Fuels & Batteries
Exploring the potential of metals (e.g., Al, Zn, Fe, Mg) as energy carriers for sustainable fuel and battery systems. Particular interest in metal-specific use cases (e.g., aluminum-air batteries, iron powder combustion) and active pilots or deployments demonstrating real-world feasibility.
