Proud to back Interlune (776 co) as they lead the way in sustainable lunar resource harvesting (you read that right). This is more than innovation—it’s shaping the future of space and Earth. Big things ahead. 🇺🇸

How is a space-tech company like Interlune teaching a lesson about investing in AI? 🪐 On stage at HumanX, Katelin Holloway broke it down—AI isn’t a sector anymore, it’s a force shaping entire industries.
Thanks to Charlotte Hu and Inc. Magazine for the fantastic round up of 19 Space Companies to Watch. A list like this shows how the lunar industrial base is coming together! Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/ghySGkMi

Thank you Giota Kalogirou! The team at Interlune is inspired every day by the work being done to create a lunar economy. I’m glad our message is coming across. 🙏🚀🚀
This resource can reach prices as high as $20 million per kilo ($9 million per pound) it's extremely rare down here on Earth, but the surface of the moon is covered in it! Interlune is creating state-of-the-art robotics that will be able to till the surface of the moon for this precious resource, Helium-3. This is not going to be an easy task. The surface of the moon can be a harsh environment (even for autonomous robots), with six times less gravity and temperatures that can range from -410 to +250 Farenheit, this little harvester will need to power through a lot of different conditions. But if successful an abundance of Helium-3 can change how we power the world. Here are a few of it's applications: ⚡️Helium-3 is a potent contrast agent for MRIs and would have an immediate application in medical imaging ⚡️Powering dilution refrigirators: the machines that keep quantum computers at near absolute zero temperatures can be efficiently powered by Helium-3 ⚡️Fusion reactors: fusing Helium-3 with deuterium could be an extremely efficient fusion reaction. This reaction would be aneutronic which reduces the wear and tear of equipment and shielding requirements! ⚡️In space fuel: Helium-3 would be able to be used as rocket fuel, making the moon a giant gas station! Meet the team: One of the last people to study the surface of the moon in person, astronaut 🧑🏼🚀Harrison Schmitt is part of the Interlune team, which combined has over 100 years of experience in the space space!

It’s hard to pick the best part of our recent investor event, but a definite contender was the “fireside chat” with Nina Hooper, Elizabeth Frank, and Colin Heye. They spoke to the group about what it’s like working in the space industry at various stages of their careers, how things have changed, and of course, why they’re excited to work at Interlune. A few topics of note: ✔️ How Interlune has attracted so many talented and experienced people who have worked together before and wanted to again. ✔️ The importance of having the right amount of process and structure in a startup, and process and structure around the right things. ✔️ Having a growth mindset as part of the hiring criteria at Interlune. When you’re solving problems no one has ever solved before, you have to be willing to accept and learn from mistakes.

No surprise that Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣ founding partner Katelin Holloway was a big hit at the Interlune investor event in Seattle last month. She talked about how, when it comes to early-stage investing, being early is easier than being right. And that one of the key predictors of being right is having a team that is not only brilliant in their fields of expertise but can also execute a vision. We’re so grateful to Katelin and the entire SevenSevenSix team for their continued support! Follow us at Interlune #InvestorInsights #SpaceInnovation #LunarExploration
During an investor event held at our HQ in February, members of the Interlune technical team presented details of their progress to date on the Interlune harvesting system and upcoming missions. ✔️ Gary Lai, Elizabeth Frank, and Rob A. impressed attendees with details about mission architecture, including a sub-scale model of the Interlune operating plant. ✔️ Alex Lewandowski and Kayla Rajsky talked about excavating and sorting lunar regolith. ✔️ Lexi Humann and Colin Heye focused on extracting and separating helium-3.

I'm at LPSC in Houston this week. This is a time of both great highs and lows for the planetary science community, and I'm looking forward to discussing how Interlune's lunar resource prospecting activities can support and enable vital lunar science.
