Matthew C. Levy

Matthew Chase Levy is founder and general partner of AE Blue Capital. He is the first American physicist to be named a Newton Fellow of The Royal Society, an institution which was given Royal Charter in 1662 by King Charles II. The Royal Society is "a fellowship of many of the world's most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence." As a Newton Fellow, Matthew's research involved devising new ways to harness the immensely strong electromagnetic fields comprising high power laser light to test aspects of the nonlinear quantum vacuum in the laboratory. As a Lawrence Scholar in the physics division of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Matthew created fusion theories, helping lay the foundation for today's commercial laser fusion systems. He founded and led Noble Artificial Intelligence, a science start-up based in San Francisco. With his leadership, Noble flourished from idea to robust organization, assembling a Microsoft agreement and accepting significant investments from M12, Microsoft's Venture Capital Fund, to Chevron Technology Ventures, Stanford's endowment, and others. Matthew has invested in numerous startups including Brex, H2O.ai, and Rippling. An alumnus of Rice, UCLA, and Wolfson College, Oxford, England, Matthew brings scientific expertise, entrepreneurial capability, and deep-seated ancient values to advanced energy investing.
