Antonio Gracias says he’s longing for ‘proentropic’ startups — those that are built to survive chaos

Venture capitalist Antonio Gracias introduces the term 'proentropic' to describe startups designed to thrive amid chaos, such as climate volatility, geopolitical shifts, and technological disruption. He cites SpaceX as an example of a company that embraces probabilistic thinking to navigate uncertainty. The concept draws from physics, where entropy measures disorder, and reflects a growing focus on resilience in today's turbulent world.
