I'm here for "The Phenomenon" including nuts & bolts, experiencers, abductees, and all sorts of woo. This stuff took me a long time to wrap my head around after my own "awakening" a handful of years ago. But I'm here and I have an insatiable curiosity.

Lloyd George (RRE) and Thiel (Founders Fund) also have another co-venture called Accion Propulsion Systems. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that the company "is developing next-gen propulsion systems for satellites- with an approach that aims to break from [the slow, expensive aerospace alternative propulsion systems."
FF Science, a unit inside Peter Thiel's Founders Fund that's focused on moonshot-type technology bets, has disclosed backing three startups so far. Two of them are far from Silicon Valley—both of them MIT-connected startups based in Cambridge.
The latest is Accion Systems, which is developing next-gen propulsion systems for satellites
-with an approach that aims to "break from [the] slow, expensive
aerospace tradition," the company said in its announcement.
Accion has raised a $2 million seed round led by FF Science: other investors included RRE Ventures. SDF Ventures, Founder Collective, Galvanize Ventures, Slow Ventures and Rene Reinsberg (founder of Locu).
The intent to break away from the normal acquisition process and work around legacy defense contractors is a theme that runs through every Thiel investment in defense tech start-ups. There are potentially other partnerships Thiel and Lloyd George have forged together in this area, but we will focus on the two most relevant to Matthew Brown's testimony: BlackSky and Enigma Labs.
