Stealth

Company No. 31 is in stealth. We can say that it builds grid-edge software for ■■■■■ and that it is a Pre-seed investment from 2026 in our Grid & Energy sector. We cannot say more until October.

What we can say is about the buyer. It is a small, member-owned utility with a handful of engineers, a long list of things to do and no appetite for a platform. The product is meant to be installed by those engineers, on a Tuesday, without a consultant.

The founders are ■■■■■ and ■■■■■, and between them they have spent about thirty years in the industry. Neither has worked outside the industry. We will print their names, the product and the first customers in the next letter, and we will mark the lines that have changed. The black bars come off in October.

Until then, a partner will tell you more over the phone, on one condition: you have to ask in writing.

Why we invested

We have said yes to this one in writing, and the reasons are in a file we will publish in October. The short version is that the founders understood the buyer better than we did.

Colophon

This issue is set in Newsreader, a typeface for long reading by Production Type, with Instrument Sans for the small print. Printed in the browser on 100% post-consumer pixels. No trees were harmed; several laptop fans were mildly inconvenienced.

Paper: #F4F1EA. Ink: #141414. One bottle of oxblood, used sparingly and signed out by both partners.

Nothing on this page is an offer to sell securities. It is, however, a standing offer to read your deck.
