Here are five big questions we’re eager to answer at @HalcyonVC (plus some of our portfolio companies working on them). Big picture, we back mission-driven founders working to solve the hardest problems in AI security and global resilience. We want to know: 1. How can we make…
Halcyon was instrumental in helping Transluce get off the ground, and Mike has been a great partner ever since! I definitely recommend them if you are founding an impact-focused org.

Congrats to @HalcyonFutures! I think what Mike and team have built is legit in the very top few organizations worldwide in securing humanity’s future against AI risk. They’ve helped some super exciting new projects get off the ground, as we can all see for ourselves now :)

Halcyon Futures is directly responsible for the existence of the Golden Gate Institute for AI, having brought me together with co-founder @TarenSK (not to mention lots of other support). Thank you Mike + Shelby, and congratulations on the launch of Halcyon Ventures!

...I could write about how Halcyon's portfolio are all tackling some important part of AI + security... but that's probably self-evident what's under the surface is: 1/ the companies are really *cool* 2/ halcyon throws great gatherings.

So proud of @MikeMcCormick_ and team. I personally credit Mike for plucking me out of my cozy life and throwing me into chaos to make a difference in this world. I am excited to see everything Halcyon can do with talent and capital.
