Working with close friends is one of the rare privileges this job gives you. Watching them go from idea to a real ~business~ is an even bigger one. Proud to call these guys friends. Excited for everyone to finally see what they've been building for the last two years.

Two US aviators went down near the Strait of Hormuz. DoW used an autonomous @Saronic Corsair to find and bring them home - the 1st drone rescue at sea in military history. This is why we build: to keep our troops safe. This was science fiction. American builders made it real 🇺🇸.

AI is creating problems it still can’t solve. The same technology poised to automate millions of jobs still can’t reliably help people navigate SNAP — the food assistance program 40 million Americans depend on. We built the first benchmark to measure that. Partnering with

In the 1980s, the US produced 80% of global enriched uranium. Today that number is zero -- and we rely on Russia instead! @ScottNolan & @generalmatter are solving this crisis; he’s jumpstarting America's nuclear renaissance, and makes us all more bullish on its scale & speed.
