Blue Capital appears to be the first VC-think-tank. Why is that?
Since ancient times, the fabrics of security and of science and technology have always been interwoven. This is why we have built Blue with a security practice and a science and technology practice. In 2024, the existential threats of artificial intelligence are well known – and those of nuclear as well. Today, fusion and AI are also two of the most profitable areas for investment. With truly dual-use technologies like these, success involves capabilities on both the science and technology side and the security side.
This is why you will also see as many policy-centric writings as investments, if not more.
I see writings about the fusion platform. Is that only about nuclear fusion?
It is broader than nuclear fusion as set out by our General Partner in an October 2024 speech. The fusion platform involves bringing ideas, policies, and people together. Just as nuclear fusion brings together science, materials, electric currents, and so much more – so does the fusion platform.
