@critical_loop has raised a $26M Series A, bringing total funding to $49M. Across the U.S., industrial growth is being slowed by time to power. We're building the platform to help customers get online in days or weeks.

2025 was about adapting to policies and the supply chain. 2026 will be about building fast and keeping things running. From batteries to nuclear fission, here are my 2026 predictions criticalloop.com/blog/2026-the-… @critical_loop

We just raised $96M to build and deploy our microreactors. This round powers the work ahead — advancing our hardware, maturing our operations, and paving the way for our first reactor demonstration in 2026. Two years in: 60 people, three states, a 145,000-sq-ft facility, and contracts across DoW, NASA, and others. We’re moving fast. Come build with us. antaresindustries.com/updates/a-lett…

Today Critical Loop is announcing our work running the @SanDiegoAirport microgrid! Our platform unifies solar + battery storage to cut peak demand, lower costs, and ease grid congestion criticalloop.com/in-the-news/sa…

6 months in Huntsville → our first full-scale prototype built and tested. Full-scale components. Real temperatures. Real pressures. Real data shaping the reactor we’ll take critical in 2026.

Happy Dervos to all that celebrate @DER_Task_Force @rocket_bala @andrewg

Dusting this off...I am excited to rep @critical_loop and speak at DERVOS 2025 this week, brought to you by @DER_Task_Force. Microgrids ARE dope!

@ProteinWrangler yup! I am an occasional twitterer, as you can tell.

Rocket booster relit twice (supersonic retro & landing), but spun up due to aero torque, so fuel centrifuged & we flamed out

Launch was good. All satellites deployed at the targeted orbit insertion vectors.

Falcon 9 launch window is Sunday and Monday, assuming good weather at Vandenberg Air Force Base

Good Hyperloop feedback from Ansys. Am excited by how much it can be improved by open src contributions! nbcnews.com/technology/hyp…

Fun to see @Breakout_Labs funded company Positron Dynamics presenting at #Newspace2013. They are making progress!
