Clear all filtersRaising $2 Billion to Become the SpaceX of Quantum | PsiQuantum's Pete Shadbolt
Pete Shadbolt, Jensen Huang, Molly O'Shea
PsyQuantum has secured nearly $2 billion in funding led by BlackRock, Nvidia, and Jensen Huang, distinguishing itself as the world's largest privately funded quantum computing company with plans to deploy a one-million-qubit system. The firm is constructing massive industrial campuses in Chicago and Brisbane to manufacture ultra-pure photonics at GlobalFoundries, aiming to bypass current hardware limitations and capture value in materials science before achieving cryptographic relevance. By targeting a direct path to commercial utility in drug discovery and energy rather than incremental scaling, the company positions its technology as an essential scientific instrument capable of generating significant revenue by 2027.
Morgan Housel: Understanding Elon Musk, Jensen Huang and Other Outliers in Tech
Morgan Housel, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Molly O'Shea
Financial writer Morgan Housel discusses how 90% of outlier success in fields like venture capital and publishing stems from uncontrollable luck rather than replicable strategies, challenging the validity of morning routines and predictive forecasting. He contrasts this by analyzing the post-2020 capital cycle, noting that the transition from zero interest rates to a 5.5% discount environment has forced a return to valuing current cash flows over speculative stories to flush out unsustainable "tourist investors." Drawing on themes from *The Psychology of Money* and *The Same as Ever*, Housel argues that while specific market conditions and technologies evolve, human behavioral constants regarding greed and fear remain the only reliable guide for navigating financial uncertainty.
