What Prime Movers Lab does

Prime Movers Lab is a privately held, Jackson, Wyoming-based venture capital firm that invests early-stage capital in breakthrough scientific startups across energy, transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture, and human augmentation. As of July 2023 the firm manages more than $1.2 billion in assets under management across its fund vehicles (most recently Fund III at $245 million) and holds an active portfolio of approximately 21 companies spanning fusion energy (Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Focused Energy, Overview Energy), space infrastructure (E-Space, Axiom Space, Quantum Space, Momentus), mobility and hypersonics (Boom Supersonic, Archer, Venus Aerospace, Pyka), quantum computing and semiconductors (Atom Computing, Halo Industries), brain-computer interfaces (Paradromics, Cognixion, Attune Neurosciences), biotech and longevity (Lygenesis, Gilgamesh, Dimension Bio), and AI infrastructure (Hark, Figure). The firm has produced eight public/exited companies including Energy Vault, Heliogen, Vaxxinity, Momentus, Archer, Iviva Medical, Spartan, and Nelumbo.

The firm's product surface centers on early-stage venture funds, Special Purpose Vehicles, and portfolio co-investments, complemented by an Ideas/Thought Papers library, a Substack and Medium blog, a YouTube webinar series, the Breakthrough Science Conference, and a DocSend-hosted LP Portal. Revenue is generated primarily from management fees on committed and invested capital (typical 2% VC industry rate), transaction fees on SPV and co-investment vehicles, and carried interest on successful portfolio exits. The firm operates a tightly held direct distribution model — institutional LPs are onboarded via a dedicated Capital Formation team and LP portal, and founders engage via a website contact form — with no resellers or self-serve channels.

The team comprises a lean bench of partners and venture partners (Founder/GP Dakin Sloss; GP Zia Huque, ex-Deutsche Bank Securities CEO; Partner & Business Strategist Tony Robbins; Partner & Head of Capital Formation Andre Jabban, ex-Flagship Pioneering and Morgan Stanley Polk Wealth; Partner & VP of Biology Justin Briggs; Partner & CFO Taylor Frankel; Partner & Chief of Staff Gavin Mathis; VP of Engineering Roger Carter, ex-NASA JPL; Design Partner JJ Moi) augmented by 10+ domain Fellows (Energy, Materials, Robotics, Human Augmentation, Ocean Energy, Soil Biology, Longevity, Water Treatment, Biochemical, AI) and 20+ scientific and industry advisors including former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Bill Gross (Idealab), Greg Wyler (OneWeb/E-Space), Blake Scholl (Boom Supersonic), Andrei Iancu (Halo), and Kam Ghaffarian (Axiom Space).
