Jakob Diepenbrock@jakobdiepen

250 years ago, a small group built something the world had never seen: America. 🇺🇸 That spirit never died. In 2002, @elonmusk moved into a warehouse in El Segundo and proved Americans could still build the impossible. A generation of companies was born from that building. They're still being built here today. If you're building something your family and your country will be proud of, come to the Gundo and build what you need to. Apply for the Fall Cohort below. Deadline July 17th. Featuring @jordannoone and @jordan__black

NanduX is building the next generation of sensing technology to unlock South American mining (where the majority of the world's copper and lithium is)
Atoms Not Bits@AtomsNotBits

The next critical mineral deposits sit deeper than current exploration tools can see. NanduX is engineering the sensing technology to find them. Today, @nandux_mining announced plans to deploy muon tomography sensors for mining applications in Chile. Watch our interview with Sebastian Tapia, CEO of NanduX and part of the @DiscipulusVent Spring Cohort.

Fuels, chemicals, and plastics are a $6T market that powers EVERY car, plane, factory, and product in modern reality. Today, they come from oil refineries, or from corn ethanol plants that burn through HALF of America's corn supply. @DiscipulusVent founder @jared_western & the Western Chemicals team are building biochemical refineries that turn wastewater into the world's cheapest fuels to REINDUSTRIALIZE America🇺🇸

The @DiscipulusVent Demo Day was the closest I've felt to Florence during the Renaissance. A place for smart people to gather and talk about important technology. Lots of optimism and big ideas. Grassroots movement for America. Awesome to see everyone come together.

🇺🇸 @JoshuaSteinman is building cybersecurity for critical infrastructure at @Galvanick. Ex-Navy. Ex-senior staffer at the @WhiteHouse. He has three simple sentences for early stage founders pitching complex ideas. "You have to keep it simple. You have to keep it simple. You have to keep it simple." VCs listen to hundreds of pitches per day. Make yours the one they can remember without checking their notes.
