Our @YesVC portfolio company @GametoGen reduces IVF treatment time from 10-14 days to just 2-3 days by maturing eggs outside the body. It also eliminates 80% of hormone injections. Now, the company has secured FDA clearance for a Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S. with trials launching across 15 U.S. sites. Gameto made history in December with the first live human birth using lab-matured eggs 🍼

Carbon capture pioneer @Heirloom, a @YesVC portfolio company, is building DAC facilities in Shreveport to remove up to 320,000 tons of CO2/year. The first 17,000-ton facility opens in 2026, and a 100,000-ton phase starts in 2027. These bend the cost curve of captured carbon down towards the $100/ton magic line, and newly-created jobs up towards the 1,000 mark. Significant support from the U.S. DOE and Louisiana Economic Development helped make these investments possible.
We’re bringing 320,000 tonnes of yearly CO2 removal capacity to Northwest Louisiana – leveraging DOE support to increase removal capacity & create over 1,000 new jobs in the region. 17k tonnes in 2026 + 100k tonnes in 2027 + 200k tonnes in later years. More here: heirloomcarbon.com/news/two-…

Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog has made over 70 movies – most of them documentaries like Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, and Grizzly Man. Herzog’s style is so distinctive that his films are recognizable practically from the moment they start. On Oct 21st, Herzog came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to @YesVC Partner @Caterina about filmmaking and writing, including his new memoir, Every Man for Himself and God Against All. This fantastic @cityartssf conversation aired on NPR Dec 3rd and is now on Spotify—listen: open.spotify.com/episode/3gB…

This news has a special significance for me personally. Walt Disney's story was an inspiration for me as a founder.
Walt would have loved Web3 because Web3 unlocks our creativity, our inner child, our dreams, connecting creators and storytellers to their audience like never before. It is very Disney.
We're honored to bring Walt’s legacy into the future with @DisneyPinnacle #onFlow 🌊

Our @YesVC portfolio company @AssemblyOSM fabricates high-rises. Their first, three-story apartment building went up in Brooklyn yesterday. Although just three stories, it’s still a big deal because it was constructed (or “stacked”) all in one day. This time-lapse shows how cranes lift entire fully-finished rooms into place like giant Lego bricks: youtube.com/watch?v=8OwfILen… Their next one, on Manhattan, will be 15 stories. Imagine the cost and time-savings relative to traditional construction

One of our most exciting @YesVC portfolio companies, @AdeptAILabs, open-sourced a multimodal model last week called Fuyu that blew up and is now #1 on @HuggingFace, the AI developer community. Why is it so popular with developers?
Adept is building a generally intelligent copilot for knowledge workers. In order to use and download apps, log in and take actions on behalf of users, it has to understand what’s displayed on the user’s phone or screen. Image understanding, designed from the ground up for digital agents. So, it’s blazingly fast - it can get responses for large images in less than 100 milliseconds. Fuyu is a small version of the multimodal model that powers Adept’s product. More details, including some examples, in the team’s post on Adept’s blog: lnkd.in/dGGG3xvJ
Adept was co-founded by @jluan of @OpenAI and @Google. Yes VC Partner @Caterina is on Adept’s Product Board. Adept has raised over $350 million to bring to market what David calls “useful general intelligence.”

Our portfolio company @heirloomcarbon’s Direct Air Capture Hub has won up to $600M from the U.S. Department of Energy. This level of funding is unrivaled to build what will be the largest DAC facility in the world, removing at least 1 million tons of CO2 per year
Proud to announce the megaton milestone that our Louisiana DAC Hub, Project Cypress, has received Notification of Selection from @POTUS's @ENERGY! With our partners @Battelle and @Climeworks, we’ll be building a facility that removes (at least) 1 million tons of CO2 per year.
With the prospect of $600m in funding, we're on the road to catalyze DAC technology, a new class of jobs, and carbon removal at large, all while investing in the communities that we’ll call home in Louisiana.
We’re also excited to announce 3 other DAC Hubs we’re joining in the Pacific Northwest, Illinois, and Florida, where we'll hone our technology across different climatic conditions in collaboration with a wide array of experts, technologists, and storage partners.
