London VC Network
At LVCN, I track frontier technology and what’s happening in the Deep Tech corner of venture.
We publish regular analysis & research mapping sectors like robotics, biology, autonomous science and others: new technology, companies to watch, and where the field is likely to shift in the near future.

Oct 2026New Nuclear, Old ReactorsThe reactors powering AI were mostly built in the last century. New nuclear is a 2030s energy story with a 2020s capital story, and states, more than start-ups, will decide who builds it.LVCN · 13 minSep 2026Towards Autonomous ScienceAI can now iterate its way through problems with verifiable answers; the much harder task for true autonomous science is figuring out discovery, real-world experiments, and knowing what to look for to begin with.LVCN · 12 minAug 2026Venture at the Speed of SoftwareFour years in, how has AI reshaped Venture?LVCN · 7 minJul 2026Solving for General RoboticsRobotics has come a long way since robot arms and industrial assembly. With $19B flowing into the sector in H1 of 2026 alone, that funding will be going towards two remaining frontiers: spatial intelligence and wide deployment.LVCN · 5 minJun 2026The New Biology StackThe convergence of AI, automation, and advanced biology is collapsing the R&D timeline. The science has never moved faster. Now, the trick is getting all this out into the real world.LVCN · 6 minApr 2026Next Gen Compute: What's Going to Power the AI Scaleup?The AI infrastructure race has moved from silicon to energy, from chips to racks, and from the US to everywhere. And now it’s running into a wall. So what’s going to power the next five years of the AI scaleup?LVCN · 8 minMar 2026Europe’s Deeptech Renaissance: Will the Trend Hold?Something is shifting in the European tech landscape. Not a pivot. Not a trend. Something deeper. We went looking for whether it's real, how long it might last, and what could break it.LVCN · 5 min
