Today, after about a year and a half of heads-down work, I’m excited to announce that Arcturus is emerging from stealth with an $8M seed round led by Initialized Capital with participation from 1517, Toyota Ventures, Wireframe Ventures, and Climate Capital. This all started with a realization that I couldn’t shake: the world’s asking more and more from metals that were never designed for the systems we’re building today. EVs, drones, robotics, AI data centers, the grid. The modern world runs on copper and aluminum doing their job quietly in the background. But as power, heat, and performance demands keep rising, those materials are becoming a bottleneck. At Arcturus, we’re building a new class of conductor materials by infusing carbon nanomaterials into metals. The goal is simple: help wires, motors, and thermal systems move more power, shed more heat, and hold up in harsher conditions, without redesigning everything around them. Not long ago, this was just an idea in my garage in Los Angeles. I’m incredibly grateful to our investors, partners, advisors, and early believers who helped us get here: thank you for seeing it before there was much to see. This is just the beginning and I’m so excited for what comes next! @Initialized @zcperret @brettdg | @1517fund @William_Blake @DStrachman | @Breakthrough @bchevva | @WireframeVC @lbernicker @harsh1 | @Toyota_Ventures @lisabcoca | @climatecap @sunrock | @smathaudhu | @al_mashal @april_brady @SarahRhoades @arcturustechinc
