$NSLR Neostellar VC will start trading on Nasdaq tomorrow - July 1st. 🎉
Company was previously called SuRo Capital $SSSS
This is long running BDC that invests in private companies or venture capital.
They decided to externalize under Magnetar’s umbrella - yes, the same $18B fund that was early in CoreWeave and made a fortune. 💰
The most notable holdings in portfolio:
@WHOOP
@OpenAI
@VAST_Data
@ClickHouseDB
@tensorwave
@canva
@LiquidDeath
@LocusRobotics
@blinkhealth
@Plaid
@HyperliquidX
@CoreWeave ( $CRWV )
@limebike ( $LIME ) - IPO tomorrow 🚴
And the best part is, the fund currently trades at roughly a 10% discount to NAV ($14.24 at the end of Q1), with the majority of its portfolio expected to IPO within the next 12 months. @neostellarvc
If you like $VCX $RVI $DXYZ $ARKVX $STCGF you'll certainly fall in love with $NSTL 🍻

Imagine buying Facebook before it was Facebook. Or OpenAI before it became a household name.
That's the premise Mark Klein discusses on the TipRanks podcast.
As companies stay private longer, investors are increasingly asking a different question:
If the IPO isn't the starting line anymore, where is the next generation of growth happening?
Watch the full conversation.

WE JUST WON THE RBR50 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. 🏆
@craftifai - a startup that has never built a robot - just made the same robotics innovation list as @BostonDynamics , @NASA , @nvidia , @Waymo , @LocusRobotics , @physical_int and @ABBRobotics .
Still sinking in. (1/3)

Robotic grasping looks simple until it has to work in a real warehouse.
That is why mobile manipulation matters.
The next phase of warehouse automation is not just about robots moving from place to place. It is about Physical AI that can perceive changing conditions, adapt in real time, and interact directly with inventory at production speed.
Better grasping expands what can be automated, reduces manual exception handling, and helps fulfillment operations keep work flowing through SKU variability and shifting demand.
Read why robotic grasping is one of the hardest problems in warehouse automation:

Yesterday, @LocusRobotics acquired @NeuraGrasp. The move is about capability depth, not just scale.
Nexera's AI-driven grasping technology gets folded into Locus Array, their autonomous picking platform. The direction is clear: warehouse automation leaders are building toward systems that handle the full task, not just the movement. That's the same logic behind why manufacturers choose RaaS over ownership... you want one partner handling the whole operation, not a patchwork of vendors.
Like Formic.

The best robotics exits right now are not IPOs. They are quiet IP acquisitions by incumbents who needed the tech yesterday.
Nexera raised $4.5M total, disclosed no revenue, and just got acquired by @LocusRobotics for the NeuraGrasp™ patent and the whole team.
May 20
Locus Robotics acquires Nexera Robotics to supercharge Locus Array with patented NeuraGrasp™ tech.
The goal: broader SKU coverage and more advanced mobile manipulation.
Financial terms were not disclosed.

BREAKING: Locus Robotics has acquired Nexera Robotics, and the technology they just bought could solve one of the hardest unsolved problems in warehouse robotics.
Grasping.
Not picking a box. Picking ANYTHING. Porous textiles. Loosely bagged items. Perforated polybags. Irregular packages. Delicate goods. Thin packaging. Items with inconsistent surfaces.
That's what Nexera's NeuraGrasp™ does, a single gripper that adapts dynamically to the physical characteristics of each item using AI-driven grasping intelligence, computer vision and a patented soft membrane structure.
The numbers behind it are serious:
Locus Array, already live in customer deployments now gets a manipulation capability that dramatically expands what it can autonomously handle.
The robots are coming.

One tool to handle them all! 🧰
Traditional suction-based systems struggle with over 30% of SKUs. Mesh bags, loose apparel, and porous items often lead to failed picks or damaged goods.
Nexera Robotics (@NeuraGrasp) is pushing that ceiling to more than 95% by innovating the hardware, not just the software.
Their solution? NeuraGrasp®. Instead of rigid fingers or air-dependent suction, NeuraGrasp uses a compliant membrane that conforms to any object.
It creates a mechanical lock through friction and wrap-around contact, even on items that leak air or deform.
Pressure is distributed by the material itself, meaning no complex force-feedback loops are needed to prevent crushing. It’s single tool can lift heavy payloads, yet pick a single peach without bruising it.
A super important part is that no SKU-specific training and no tool changers required.
The industry has spent years optimizing robot “brains” while ignoring the hands. Nexera is perfecting the touch to make robots more capable.
Congrats Nexera Robotics team! 👏🏼
