'Atoms, not bits.' The biggest opportunities are in companies that manipulate the physical world, not just software. Willing to fund multi-year R&D timelines. Just raised the firm's largest fund ever ($1.5B, Jan 2026, oversubscribed). Invests at the intersection of science and engineering where structural technical advantages create durable moats. Core belief: the 'directional arrow of progress' in science is inevitable — you can bet on where science is going because it only moves forward. Lux looks for 'narrative violations' — moments when consensus is wrong and reality is about to prove it. Josh believes the best founders have 'a secret' — proprietary technical insight that others can't see or don't believe. Has been vocal that the defense tech renaissance is just beginning, not a trend.
