With a factory now pumping out new FUTURi boxes, it finally feels tangible — real progress you can see, touch, and feel.

Exciting times ahead for Martin and the whole FUTURi team. 🚀

This new facility marks another big step for Martin Ordonez and his team as they expand beyond their original office and ramp up production.

FUTURi is advancing intelligent electrification through its innovative energy processor, enabling smarter and more efficient power systems. ⚡️

Those words reflect how she’s lived — never afraid to take bold bets, always pushing for impact beyond convention.

A mindset that’s inspired me and so many others.

Canada has world class talent in semiconductors, AI, robotics, and quantum technologies.

We hope this prize sparks a movement where more homegrown tech giants can start, grow, and scale right here in Canada. That is why it is called Catalyst.

The prize will help researchers turn their inventions into impactful companies.

Each year, one team from Arts and Science and one from Engineering will receive support to bridge the gap between breakthrough ideas and scalable ventures.

Why? In short, quantum has shifted from a science problem (if it will work) to an engineering problem (how and when it will scale).

Each time Jevons Paradox appeared, it didn’t just boost demand — it transformed society:
• Coal → Industrial Revolution
• Electricity → Modern cities
• Compute + bandwidth → Internet economy
• Intelligence → ?

This is a generational opportunity.

Now it’s hitting intelligence.

Since 2021, the cost per million tokens has dropped by ~100×.

The result? Demand is exploding: AI copilots, large-scale analytics, and everyday generative tools.

Jevons Paradox in action:
• Lighting: 1800→2000, price of light ↓ 3,000×, per-capita use ↑ 13,000×.
• Compute: $18.7M/GFLOP (1984) → $0.03 (2017).
• Connectivity: $1,200/Mbps (2000) → <$1 today; traffic ↑ from 84 PB/mo → >150,000 PB/mo.

If I could tell my younger CEO self one thing:
👉 Anticipate the breaks before they happen.
Full post here: allensthoughts.com/2025/09/02/t...

Breaking isn’t failure.
It’s evolution.
Each breakdown means you’ve unlocked the next stage of growth.

I’ve lived this many times — first as an employee, later as a co-founder in two companies, including Wattpad.
And yes, the pattern is real.

Every time a company triples in size, everything breaks:
• 3: tight-knit, everyone knows everything
• 10: need new ways to communicate
• 30: a first layer of leaders emerges
• 100: layers of leaders, even good systems fail
• 300: a completely different company
• 1,000: feels like a mini-society

We’re excited to back FUTURi as part of our Smart Energy focus at Two Small Fish. This is deep tech with global impact — power electronics and intelligent control reshaping how homes and grids interact.
