Since we partnered with OpenAI startup fund for our Series B, BY FAR what we were most excited about was audio multimodality. The day has finally come! We’re super excited to be part of OpenAI’s Realtime API launch. https://lnkd.in/ghgHi8hE With true speech-to-speech, we can now offer a dramatically more natural speaking experience that feels so much more human. It’s the holy grail for our use case and is something we will be thoughtfully incorporating across our entire learning experience. We’ve been working closely with OpenAI on this API for quite a while now. It’s going to be a true game changer not just for Speak but for all of software. But this is clearly just the beginning. And of course as always, please check out speak.com/careers if any of this sounds like interesting work to you!

Last week was huge for our Shared Future Fund partners given Y Combinator Demo Day and NYC Climate Week! We saw a marked uptick in YC companies working on climate with this recent YC S24 batch. Collaborative Fund is excited to support companies working at the intersection of AI and decarbonization / climate adaptation. Here's a snapshot of a few companies we're investing in: 🏢 RetroFix AI (YC S24): building software to help buildings become more energy efficient by maximizing rebates for builders and contractors 🎈 Sorcerer (YC S24): building the best weather balloons that collect 1000x more data 🔋 Ionworks: helping battery companies digitize their R&D by building and running battery simulations at scale 🏗️ Offstream: simplifies and streamlines compliance for carbon projects 🪫 Rewbi: uses AI to optimize grid-connected battery storage

Exciting news from Collaborative Fund portfolio company Verne! They've just unveiled the world's first cryo-compressed hydrogen heavy-duty truck, marking a significant milestone in the journey towards sustainable transportation. • Verne's cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH₂) technology maximizes hydrogen storage density, offering a 33% improvement over liquid hydrogen and 87% over traditional compressed gas hydrogen. • This innovation allows heavy-duty vehicles to store more energy onboard while reducing weight and cost. We're proud to support Verne as they push the boundaries of clean transportation technology. This breakthrough has the potential to significantly impact the decarbonization of the heavy-duty trucking sector, which is responsible for 12% of global CO₂ emissions. Congratulations to Ted McKlveen, David Jaramillo, Bav Roy and the entire Verne team on this remarkable achievement. We're excited to see how this technology will accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation and contribute to a cleaner future.

Thanks so much to all of the founders, investors and climate enthusiasts who joined the Collaborative Fund + Activate event this morning for NYC Climate Week! During our industrial transformation discussion, Craig Shapiro, asked the panelists: "If you had a magic wand ✨ - what does your company need most to succeed in the industrial transformation sector? Karen Baert [Ammobia] - "We need great engineers who have built commercial plants before; industry veterans and scrappy scientists alike." Liz Dennett, PhD [Endolith] - "We need the right commercial partner; one with incredible geology and a healthy dash of optimism." Peter Godart [Found Energy] - "We need a partner who's willing to take a risk installing our equipment and staking their profession on this risk." Special thanks to Priyanka Bakaya who joined from ARPA-E to give opening remarks, as well as our dear friend Calvin A. Cupini who moderated with such deft and enthusiasm.

thank you Forbes for naming me as a sustainability leader. We will see if it is deserved in a decade or so, but certainly could not have done it without my co-founder Hugo Leandri, mentors all around including : David T. Danielson and Cooper Rinzler, Collaborative Fund: Matt Compton and Craig Shapiro, and DCVC Rachel Slaybaugh! https://lnkd.in/djU2tkiJ let's find a low cost solution to decarbonize so we can do it quickly!!

'Computational infrastructure, as we know by the huge revenues reaped by companies like Nvidia and the large bills that big foundational AI companies rack up for training and running models, is under stress. But it’s not just AI. New innovations like quantum computing are also putting pressure on the hardware we have today. In the U.S. alone, Andrea Rocchetto said, about 9% of the energy generated in the U.S. will be used for running data centers, so the demand is to get them to be faster and more efficient. “Photonics and quantum computing can both answer those needs,” he said.'

Kicked off Climate Week NYC at the Climate Science Fair on the Highline, hosted by Emerson Collective. While many conversations in the coming days will underscore the overwhelming challenges ahead of us, it was refreshing to begin this week with a sense of hope—seeing innovative and diverse solutions across new materials, energy, and more in action. It was especially exciting to see Stella McCartney's booth in partnership with Collaborative Fund, featuring NFW, Protein Evolution, and Keel Labs 🌍✨ Also thrilled to see Collaborative Fund portfolio companies represented at the fair, including Anthro Energy and WeaveGrid who are changing the game in their industries.
