Endiatx - A Short Film
An inside look at @endiatx and the team helping build the future of robotic medicine
Congrats Joe, Phil, Ariel, and the Rendezvous team for hitting another milestone and having @Toyota_Ventures co-lead.
The round is the least exciting part, if I'm being honest. What they're achieving on the technicals and commercial traction front are what really excites us.
@rdvrobotics has raised a $20M Seed round co-led by @MaCVentureCap and @Toyota_Ventures. Our spacecraft launch as a flat stack of tiles that autonomously self-assemble in space so we can finally start building the satellites we need, not the ones that fit into rockets.

For a framework about how Aexodus thinks about space tech investing, here's a crowd pleaser we recently published:

To understand Rendezvous a bit better from a technical perspective, here's a good starting point at a very high level:

I can't sleep after this shit... Claude Code just found 12,154 photos of my face on the old Android I used for 8 years. I never took a single one of them.
The front camera was firing almost every time I picked the phone up. In bed, on the train, in the car, or when I just grabbed it to check the time.
They were real camera frames sitting in a hidden folder, each one with a timestamp and a location. None of them were in the Gallery or in Recently Deleted.
I plugged the phone into my laptop, turned on ADB and told Claude Code to look for front-camera files that weren't in my photos. It pulled a folder inside Android/data that belonged to a flashlight app I installed in 2019 and completely forgot about. 12,154 files.
I started scrolling. Almost all of it was from the last 15 months. Then I saw a file created 2 seconds ago, while I was still looking at the folder. The phone kept taking photos of me as I was reading this.
On Android 8 any app with camera permission can shoot in the background, and you get no green dot or any other warning when it does. That flashlight app had camera and location access from day one.
I uninstalled it, took camera access away from everything that doesn't need it and cleared the folder. How many of these photos already went somewhere else, I don't know.
If you want to check yours, plug it in, turn on USB debugging and ask Claude Code to find front-camera files outside your Gallery and show which apps used the camera and when.

User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.

looks like the Binance hacker is swapping all the stables / coins to ETH as we speak to avoid getting frozen
still roughly $2.5B left in stables

@binance Got Hacked .
Big Withdrawals From Binance Wallet Going Out .
✅✅ Unusual Exchange Outflows
19,465.69 $BTC ($1,545,132,637)
aggregated outflows from multiple exchanges in an hour
Hacker stole over 19000 bitcoins.
$50M into a DeFi vault. Five minutes later every competitor knows the wallet, the size, the timing, that trade is dead on arrival.
That's the real reason institutions don't touch onchain finance. not yield. visibility.
Flip it : regulators, LPs and auditors still need proof the fund is solvent. "trust me" doesn't cut it.Most solutions pick one.
But @primus_labs does both:
> FHE keeps balances encrypted onchain while the math still runs on them.
> zkTLS proves real data from any website is authentic without revealing it.
Together that's proof of reserves: cryptographic proof "we hold enough", position sizes stay hidden.
Backed by $6.5M from VanEck, YZi Labs, Samsung Next, Maelstrom, Alchemy. live on BNB Chain.
This is really a good tek . Private by default, auditable when it matters.
Foundation model/VLA startups remind me of physics sims circa 1st wave of the robotics cycle 10 yrs ago: flash in the pan but fizzled out quickly when Nvidia/Google open sourced theirs.
History rhymes. The min Astra was released, most fdn models died.

Here's part of why we have Aexodus in our corner. VLEO offers real advantages over higher orbits, but conventional propulsion can't sustain operations there. Aexodus wrote about why that gap matters: insights.aexodus.com/p/the-r…
Hot take: p(doom) is a top-down psyop to give the population yet another existential crisis to ruminate over ad nauseum until we willingly give up free use of AI in favor of licensed, regulated AI and a public-private partnership bw frontier labs and their govt counterparts.
And no, a paltry UBI stimmy the govt promises to dole out once a month isn't worth the cost of the loss of autonomy, agency, and potential wealth generation empowered by open & sovereign AI.

On the Silk Road, the big winners often weren't the merchants. They held the outposts where trade settled. Space is building its own now.

Disclosure: Aexodus is an investor in SpaceXAI, Rendezvous Robotics and Vaxon Space.
Egocentric data collection and refinery startups are DOA.
In the last yr, as a physical AI fund, we've seen dozens of these startups selling data collected to inform robot policy & in one ann, Figure just nuked their entire lineage.
Data is no moat for robots. It's a means to an end.
When a company like @Figure_robot spends $15m on data & unleashes it to the world, it's a loss leader to get their Trojan horse thru the door.
When startups in China do the same & open sources said datasets, it's not a moat.
