Possible Ventures’ Post

We're just one of the deep tech VCs that review pitch deck submissions to Deep Checks each week. Thanks to Julian Shapiro for profiling our GP, Chris Hitchen, this week! If you're a founder innovating at the intersection of science and engineering, submit your deck to https://deepchecks.vc/ and connect with some of the best deep tech investors in the space.

We're investing in sustainable space tech as part of the consortium behind ISPTech's €2M pre-seed funding which will be used to advance their eco-friendly spacecraft propulsion systems. As the space economy grows, the need for reliable and green propulsion solutions is crucial. ISPTech’s innovative technology, developed from over a decade of R&D at the German Aerospace Center, uses non-toxic propellants, making space missions safer and more sustainable. This funding, led by HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds with support from First Momentum Ventures, will bring their groundbreaking technology to market by 2025.

In a recent update to a group of investors, we talked about the looming challenge of AI’s energy appetite: The CEO of Arm forecasts that without efficiency gains by the end of the decade, “AI data centers could consume as much as 20% to 25% of U.S. power requirements. Today that’s probably 4% or less”. The International Energy Agency [reported] that a request to ChatGPT requires “2.9 watt-hours of electricity on average - this is equivalent to turning on a 60 watt lightbulb for slightly under three minutes.” It’s these second order effects of an AI industry boom that necessitate acceleration in energy transition trends, and inform part of our investment interest in efforts to build resilience in the electrical grid.

Another brilliant event from Wade Institute of Entrepreneurship, this time with Possible's very own Simon Betschel sharing the heroic stories of our portfolio founders and their ground-breaking missions! Great work team 💪
