Matt Lynley Joins Lux Capital as Investor and Partner
By

Excited to share I have joined the eclectic team at @Lux_Capital. Grateful for my time at Cerebras with Andrew and a team who showed me the vision, grit, and adaptability it takes to build a generational AI semiconductor company. The same curiosity that drew me from the Senate to Silicon Valley to understand the bare metal powering AI, has now led me to join Lux to partner, invest, and explore how AI is transforming the physical world. Lux’s commitment to building technology at the frontier is special, and Josh and Peter have built a incredible team that I’m lucky to work with and learn from. To founders and friends, especially in the robotics, manufacturing, and energy space, I’d love to meet you. 🚀@wolfejosh, Peter, @breeves08, @Farshchi, @deenashakir, @graceisford, @velvetatom, @lanjiang653, Shaq, @davidkmyang
