"If we get something wrong....we just can't pull over to the side of the road to fix it." Wise words from Matt George, CEO of Merlin Las. The stakes are high for companies like Merlin seeking to push the boundaries of autonomous flight. When you’re talking about a plane at a high-speed and high altitude, there’s no room for error, no second chance to pause and recalibrate. Merlin Labs and their team know that every decision counts—it’s about precision, trust, and getting it right every time. In autonomous aviation, every advancement lifts both safety and innovation to new heights—or risks bringing them down together. At Harpoon Ventures, we’re proud to support Merlin Labs in their mission to redefine what’s possible in autonomous aviation. Their relentless pursuit of innovation and commitment to safety sets a high bar in the industry, and we’re excited to stand alongside this pioneering team as they push the boundaries of what’s achievable in the skies.

At Harpoon Ventures, we’re all about finding game-changers—companies that tackle big problems head-on with real solutions. That’s exactly what we saw in Electroflow Technologies. Lithium powers everything from electric cars to renewable energy storage, but the way it’s being pulled out of the ground today is inefficient and bad for the environment. That’s where Electroflow comes in. They’ve built a better way to extract lithium—one that taps into low-grade sources and slashes the environmental footprint. Instead of relying on high-concentration sources or massive, water-hungry mines, they’re pulling lithium from low-grade saltwater brines—an untapped resource that’s abundant and cleaner to extract from. Less water, less land, and way more efficient. Electroflow is rethinking how lithium gets produced and, more importantly, how we meet skyrocketing demand without wrecking the planet. They’re opening up a whole new supply that’s been sitting untouched because nobody else had the right tech. We backed Electroflow because they’ve got a solution that’s not only smart but necessary. They’re set to play a major role in shaping the future of lithium production, and we’re thrilled to be part of that journey. ⇀
