Alex's not just playing the VC game—he’s redefining it. Took The Chainsmokers to the top, then pivoted hard into tech with Mantis VC, dropping $110M into nearly 200 startups. This isn’t dabbling; it’s full-throttle investment across healthcare, finance, education—real sectors, real impact. He’s bringing that founder-obsessed, no-BS mindset, showing what happens when creativity meets execution. Seeing him at TechCrunch Disrupt is proof that true innovators don’t stick to one lane. This is the energy that drives industries forward. #UTAustin #TechCrunchDisrupt

🚀 Reposting from Newlab's inspiring journey! Since its inception in 2016, Newlab has been unwavering in its commitment to deep tech and climate tech innovation. Their recently unveiled brand film is a testament to their mission, laying out a bold vision for expanding their global network of innovation hubs. At Spin Ventures, we deeply resonate with Newlab’s approach, particularly their Three-Point Model for startup success, which focuses on infrastructure, pilots, and capital. This model not only removes critical barriers but also accelerates the path to commercialization—a goal we share within our own ecosystem. Why this matters: The success of any climate tech initiative is magnified when part of a broader ecosystem. Just as Newlab has demonstrated by partnering with 50+ industry and government leaders to support 300+ companies, at Spin Ventures, we understand that creating systemic change in the consumer and retail sectors demands collaborative effort. Our work, focused on fostering circular economies and driving decarbonization, aligns closely with Newlab’s achievements in reducing barriers for startups and scaling innovative solutions. In today’s climate-challenged world, it’s clear that *ecosystem play is the key*. It’s about more than just individual success—it's about how we, as a collective, can innovate to tackle the world's most pressing issues. Together, we can bridge the gap to scale, driving innovation forward and unlocking a sustainable future. 🌍💡 #ClimateTech #DeepTech #Innovation #CircularEconomy #VentureCapital #Sustainability #EcosystemPlay
