Next-gen HR leaders are shifting to proactive health strategies that reduce absenteeism, lower insurance costs, and boost productivity. The problem? Most wellness programs fail to engage employees or improve outcomes. We are hosting a conversation with Function Health, one of the fastest-growing personal health platforms in the US. They've built something different: 5X more comprehensive testing than standard physicals, zero insurance approvals required, and direct employer partnerships with discounted rates.

Youth sports have become massive. We are incredibly excited to be supporting Fastbreak AI in their mission to become the backbone infrastructure of youth sports operations. Congrats to John and his team for their incredible round. Sports parents, hopefully you’ll be seeing this company at your kid’s events for years to come.
Big news for the Fastbreak AI team today! We’ve just closed a $40M Series A with participation from both new and existing investors, including our partners the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL), and TMRW Sports, and current & former athletes and venture firms who believe in what we’re building. When we started Fastbreak, our goal was simple: to help sports organizations spend less time creating schedules and more time creating amazing experiences. In just a few years, we’ve gone from powering the schedules of the world’s top leagues (the NBA, NHL, MLS, SEC, Serie A, and 60 more) to helping thousands of amateur and youth events run more efficiently through our Compete platform. This funding fuels our next chapter: scaling AI and innovation across every level of the game. I’m incredibly proud of our team, grateful for the trust of our investors and partners, and excited for what’s ahead. We’re just getting started. https://lnkd.in/eYMhDMdG Larry Fitzgerald Jr. Greycroft GTMfund Metrolina Capital Charlotte Fund Patrick Cantlay David Lee #AI #SportsTech #FastbreakAI #YouthSports #SeriesA #Sports

I just spent the last two days at the Payload Lunar & Mars Economy Summit at Space Center Houston. It was an incredible mix of builders, policymakers, technologists, and investors who are shaping the next chapter of American space leadership. Timelines, infrastructure, national power, and what it will actually take to stay ahead. Spoiler: we're falling behind rapidly. Here are the three big themes I keep coming back to: 🔴 China might beat us back with humans to the Moon They’ve made their intentions clear: land by 2029, establish a permanent base by 2035. Their commercial sector is moving faster, better funded, and more aligned with national strategy than we’d like to admit. They’ve mastered 1→X, and now their commercial space sector is getting good at 0→1. That should be a wake-up call. The real question is whether this moment becomes our generation’s Sputnik. Will it push us to align policy, capital, and industry around a shared vision? Or will we let another space race play out from the sidelines? 🌕 The Moon is not the finish line It’s the first node in a much larger space economy. Think logistics hub, refueling station, testing ground, and forward operating base. If we treat it like a trophy mission, we lose. But if we build it out like infrastructure, it becomes the enabler for everything that follows: Mars, deep space, autonomy, off-world manufacturing. We’re going to need cargo systems, resource extraction, in-situ construction, and regular transport. That’s a full-stack industrial challenge — and a big opportunity. Looking at you, Impulse Space and Ethos Space Resources. ⚡ Infrastructure is the difference between staying and visiting Comms is furthest ahead. We’ve been building those systems for decades. Power is next. Without power, nothing works. And for sustained presence, we’re almost certainly going to need nuclear. Looking at you, Zeno Power and Radiant. Autonomy is the furthest behind but maybe the biggest unlock. We can’t operate in real time on the Moon, and definitely not on Mars. Tools will need to handle complex decisions locally, without phoning home. We’ll also need people. No AI or robot can match human intuition in unpredictable environments. But robotics and autonomy can make crew time radically more efficient. And in space, time is the most expensive thing there is. The future of space isn’t about headlines. It’s about execution. Infrastructure, logistics, strategy. We're proud to be backing companies building in the critical space domain at the US Strategic Tech Fund (an Alumni Ventures Fund) This is how we win. 🇺🇸 🚀

At Alumni Ventures, our mission is to make venture investing more accessible — connecting innovative founders with engaged communities of investors across our family of funds. Concerto Biosciences CEO and Co-Founder Cheri Ackerman shared why her team chose to partner with Yard Ventures (an Alumni Ventures Fund) for the Harvard community: “We picked the Yard because of the powerful Harvard Alumni investor network — and we’ve tapped into that network as we’ve grown. The group has been supportive of the directions we’ve taken, trusting management while offering feedback and thought partnership when we need it.” — Cheri Ackerman, CEO, Concerto Biosciences Concerto Biosciences is pioneering a new approach to microbiome science, building products from groups of microbes that work together to improve human health. Cheri's reflection highlights what powers every fund across Alumni Ventures: a network of alumni investors and operators who open doors, share expertise, and help founders scale faster. #VentureCapital #FounderStories #AlumniVentures #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #PortfolioSpotlight #TechOptimist

Where did all the cybersecurity analysts go? In 2022, there were nearly 70K open roles in the U.S. Three years later: half that. AI is already automating away the first layer of security work and forcing a total rethink of how SOCs are built. I wrote about what this means for the next generation of security talent and what comes next. https://lnkd.in/gs4jQuiP
