Prof. William Sahlman - the vision Ray Rothrock champions is both urgent and inspiring.I hope advances is modern small form factor nuclear plants could ultimately pave the way for "open-source designs" of small modular reactors (SMRs)—safe, scalable, and low-cost solutions that can be deployed globally. Imagine a world where abundant, near-zero marginal cost energy is available to all—fueling economic growth, resilience, and even climate progress.
Of course, rigorous safety and nonproliferation safeguards must be foundational. But in a world where the most dangerous actors are already developing covert nuclear capabilities, denying access to clean nuclear energy for the world’s energy-deprived populations only reinforces inequity—and risks ceding the narrative to the very forces we aim to contain.
It's time to rethink not just how we regulate nuclear technology but also how we fuel nuclear innovation and how we distribute its benefits. Making safe nuclear energy an eventual global public good is not just possible—it’s essential.

Ravi Gururaj reacted on thisRavi Gururaj reacted on thisA full-circle moment. Thirty years ago, I launched my first venture as a Harvard student—trying to solve a real problem. That experience set the direction for everything that followed. I’m excited to join Harvard University's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) as an Executive Fellow, Venture Translation & Innovation, alongside my role as Founder & Managing Partner of 1955 Capital—coming back to Harvard in this capacity, working alongside faculty and students on entrepreneurship and innovation, feels like coming home. Over the past year, I’ve had the chance to work closely with Gary King—University Professor at Harvard, one of the leading scholars in quantitative social science and a longtime builder of interdisciplinary research platforms—to help shape the IQSS Executive Fellows Program. The program brings leaders from industry, government, and the nonprofit sector into deep, project-based collaboration with faculty across the University. My focus is venture translation: how do we take research coming out of universities like Harvard—across the social and deep sciences—and build companies that operate at global scale? Too much of the world’s most important research is still trapped inside universities—not because the science isn’t ready, but because the systems around it aren’t designed for translation. At a moment when traditional pathways for funding and scaling research are under increasing pressure, the gap between discovery and real-world impact is widening—not shrinking. Breakthrough ideas risk stalling—not because the science is lacking, but because the systems to translate them don’t exist. This builds on my work over the past 7 years on the Dean’s Advisory Cabinet at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences with Dean David Parkes and former Dean Frank Doyle, where I’ve focused on early-stage venture formation from lab-based research—and draws directly on the experience, capital, and network we’ve built at 1955 Capital. The goal is to build and test new models at the intersection of academia and venture—working across institutions to help world-class research more consistently become real-world impact. Grateful to Harvard's Chief Technology Development Officer Sam Liss for making the introduction to Gary that started all of this. If you’re working on this problem—from the academic, startup, or institutional side—I’d love to connect.

Ravi Gururaj reacted on thisRavi Gururaj reacted on thisToday is Sharad Sharma's birthday, and I wanted to say something from the heart. Sharad and I go back nearly two decades. He saw my potential early, nurtured me, and became my guru and father figure, all rolled into one. A few months ago, he suffered a stroke. I visited him at the hospital...his voice came through softly, but his thoughts were crystal clear. He asked about my family, talked about AI, and many more things... Before I left, he held my hand and said..."Let us pick another mission." And I know we will. Happy Birthday, Sharad. Get well soon. India needs you... and so do I 🙏 Picture abhi baki hai.Celebrating Sharad Sharma: A national treasure, no lessCelebrating Sharad Sharma: A national treasure, no less

Ravi Gururaj reacted on thisRavi Gururaj reacted on thisSome people don’t just believe in India’s product potential — they build the conviction behind it. Sanjay Anandaram has been one of those rare champions. I first met him in 2006 at the NASSCOM Innovation Awards. His questions didn’t just evaluate founders — they elevated them. He challenged assumptions, sharpened thinking, and pushed us to aim higher. At iSPIRT, I saw his intensity up close — discipline, integrity, and an unshakeable belief that world-class tech companies must be built from India. Thank you, Sanjay, for shaping founders, strengthening the ecosystem, and backing India’s product journey with action. 🙏🏽 #JeenaIsiKaNaamHainMentor, Nation-Builder, Product Evangelist: The Enduring Impact of Sanjay Anandaram #JeenaIsiKaNaamHainMentor, Nation-Builder, Product Evangelist: The Enduring Impact of Sanjay Anandaram #JeenaIsiKaNaamHain

Ravi Gururaj reacted on thisRavi Gururaj reacted on thisThirty years ago yesterday, Sridevi Kalavakolanu and I met up in Washington, DC and decided to become roommates. As young professionals, we lived in modest digs in Dupont Circle (omg, how is the Queensboro still standing?) and supported each other through career decisions, dinner parties, and dating. This nice Indian girl from Chennai and this nice American girl from Philly with May birthdays 5 days apart have maintained a deep friendship through marriages, children, and career changes, even though we live halfway around the world from each other. We met up for brunch in Harvard Square yesterday and we picked up our conversation right where we left off if no time had passed. Here's to celebrating three decades of unconditional love and friendship...looking forward to the next three!

Ravi Gururaj liked thisFriends - I’m excited to share that I’ve stepped into the CEO role at Impala, after two years as an investor and Board Chair. After founding three startups (my last exit was seven years ago), returning to an operating role wasn’t an easy decision. But Impala is a rare fit: it brings together what I love most - building mission-driven tech startups, and what I care deeply about - social impact and philanthropy. Impala is building a transformational data intelligence platform for the philanthropic sector, helping foundations and nonprofits use data to make smarter decisions and drive greater impact. In many ways, we aim to be the PitchBook or Crunchbase for a sector that manages over $2T in assets, moves over $0.5T annually, and represents roughly 2% of U.S. GDP. More to come - would love to connect with others in the #impacttech space. #entrepreneurship #philanthropy #startups #socialimpactRavi Gururaj liked thisWe are excited to share that Guy Miasnik has joined Impala as CEO after serving for two years as Chair of our Board of Directors! Guy brings a rare blend of entrepreneurial leadership and philanthropic experience. He founded three startups, including AtHoc, a mission-driven public safety company that secured $250M in federal contracts, and was acquired by BlackBerry for $300M in 2015. He has spent decades committed to social impact, founding two nonprofits in education and civic engagement, and serving on the board of Jewish Federation Bay Area, a $2.4B foundation strengthening Jewish communities locally and globally. Guy also serves on several educational nonprofit boards and advisory roles at Harvard Business School, where he earned his MBA. He holds a BSc in electrical engineering from the Technion and a law degree from Tel Aviv University. In his free time, Guy enjoys cycling, photography, travel, and flying as a private pilot. Guy added, “I’m thrilled to join Impala as we empower philanthropy to achieve greater impact—transforming how foundations and nonprofits use data to make smarter, faster decisions.” Impala is honored to have Guy join our team and lead us in our mission.
