Raymond Russell

I’m currently investing in early-stage deep tech with a particular focus on aerospace, energy, and materials—technologies that will give us plentiful electricity, end water scarcity, better connect our planet, upgrade human capabilities, and take us to Mars. Some of my favorite companies are making better batteries, fusion power infrastructure, power-dense electric motors, hypersonic engines, efficient delivery drones, seagrass-planting robots, rainwater on demand, automated assembly instructions, rails for cross-border business, and LLM-enabled cybersecurity.

I'm passionate about creating a more abundant future. Previously, I spent six years at Boom Supersonic working on public policy, helping raise a few rounds, setting up a climate org, doing ops, and other sundry business-side functions. On the side, I play the piano (classical), travel, study languages (decent French and Spanish, working on Hindi and Mandarin), cook, kayak, and ski.
