He was employee number thirty five at SpaceX, helping develop some of their critical early systems. He then went on to more than a decade investing at Founders Fund, where he invested in SpaceX and many other of the defining companies of this generation. More recently he started a company

incubated that founders fund called General Matter. The topic of today's conversation is his time investing at Founders Fund. And more recently his decision to build this company full time. General Matter is attacking one of the most interesting bottlenecks in the United States, the enrichment of uranium to create power in nuclear power plants. We don't do any of that in the United States today. We've outsourced it overseas for years.
