Issue #55 • November 25, 2025
Hi Seedradar Squad! This week demonstrated an extreme convergence of geopolitical strategy, finance, and infrastructure—all driven by the need to secure AI compute. Amazon announced a historic, multi-billion-dollar investment to build gigawatt-scale data centers specifically for the U.S. government.
This investment frenzy highlights the massive capital flowing into foundational systems like X-energy's SMRs for clean power and Kalshi's platform for hedging binary risk. This pursuit of efficiency is also transforming the sales front line, where Eve is acting as an always-on "inbox revenue engine," turning everyday email into a trackable sales pipeline.

🌱 The Next Big Thing: Our Startup Pick!
🎯 This Week's Emerging Star: Eve
Eve is an “inbox revenue engine” that turns everyday email into a trackable pipeline for small and mid-sized B2B teams. By plugging directly into Gmail or Outlook, it constantly scans conversations for revenue signals, surfaces missed leads and at-risk deals, and drafts personalized follow-ups in your own voice so nothing slips through the cracks.
By acting like an always-on revenue operator that organizes, prioritizes, and responds to opportunities across multiple inboxes, Eve lets founders and sales teams spend far less time digging through threads and far more time actually closing business—making it a startup worth watching very closely.
