  "textContent": "While headlines tend to focus on batteries, gigafactories, and AI infrastructure, a quieter constraint is tightening: the discovery of the raw materials that make them all possible.\n\nParis-based startup Lithosquare, which has just raised $25 million from World Fund, Kindred Capital, Daphni, and Omnes Capital, is positioning itself at that exact pressure point. Its promise is ambitious: use AI to significantly accelerate the discovery of new mineral deposits.\n\nThe question is whether software can meaningfully shift one of the slowest, most uncertain processes in the industrial world.\n\n## **A Bottleneck Few Talk About**\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
