Americans are innovators
60 million Americans need water from the Colorado River
Cloud seeding is an American innovation that provides water to:
- help our farmers and cattlemen
- housing developments and industry
- make ecosystems, like the Great Salt Lake, beautiful

Everything Steve Jobs said here 1983 is relevant for every founder and builder today.

I was interacting with my @maticrobots today and had to clean the front brush for the first time. The build quality and design is very thoughtful, high quality materials. Even the lid is the right weight and feel. Very easy to clean. Still happy ! 11/10

Startup markups are happening just as fast as the appreciation on HyperCars
YC Demo Day founder told me today that they raised $7M last week at a $50M Valuation. Then proceeds to tell me theyβve opened up additional $2M allocation at $75M valuation, expected to close in next 24hrs. Heating up.. @ycombinator

Interesting mission !
JUST IN: A satellite carrying four 3D printers is set to resume manufacturing directly in the vacuum of space, with the next tests attempting to build meter-scale structures from orbit.
Orbital Matterβs Replicator 2 has completed its first extrusion in orbit and is including structures designed to deploy an antenna and unfold a solar array as they grow.
The technology uses a liquid polymer extruded in space and hardened by UV light. Orbital Matter ultimately wants to manufacture 100-meter+ structures supporting 100-kW solar arrays, with a follow-on mission targeting 3-meter beams and a 1-kW array before the end of 2027.
By around 2030, its roadmap extends to kilometer-scale solar arrays and radiators for massive infrastructure including orbital data centers and space stations.
For decades, spacecraft have been constrained by what engineers can fold inside a rocket fairing. The Orbital Matter concept aims to launch the machine that builds space infrastructure directly in space.

Some say VC is not a full time job.
deep tech VC itβs 24/7 for me Iβm always thinking of the portfolio, and future additions, and just geeking out on deep tech subjects.
Always playin ball. Never on the bench.

Last year I lost my mom to cancer. Was the most brutal 24 months of my life.
This year, Iβm helping a friend to overcome his cancer with all the knowledge I gained and hope thereβs a way for him to survive.
Itβs heavy, itβs brutal, humanity must END all forms of cancer.

Worldwide production of the Mercedes-AMG C63 Black Series (W204 coupe, 2012β2013) was limited to 800 units.
For North America specifically, the most detailed and widely cited figure among owners and registries is 172 cars (US + Canada combined)

Congrats to the whole team at @isaraerospace !!
Weβre in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.

. @reedogins and @khawajasn are building the company of the future. Tastefully refining and redefining a centuries old business enabling it with computer vision, AI, Robitics, and more.
Super proud of what they have accomplished and how big of a disruption this is in a big way, for the global seafood (fish) market.
Honestly - sometimes itβs hard to find words for how incredible this is.
Los Angeles is full of hardware startups these days - most of them doing defense, energy, manufacturing and aerospace. But this week we bring you the story of a company making a fish killing robot.
It's from @ShinkeiSystems, and it's designed to kill fish in a more humane way using a method perfected in Japan and now automated with a robot. The fish are killed quickly instead of suffocating on a boat. And the result result for humans is better tasting, healthier fish.
We went to El Segundo to see how the robot is made and operates and then hopped on a boat to see it in action on the sea. Full episode here made possible by the finance geniuses at @brexHQ.
