Most founders don’t have a tax problem. They have a setup problem. Looks like: Books that don’t quite tie out Expenses that move around every month “No idea what our runway actually is” It works… until it really doesn’t. Fixing it early is boring. Fixing it later is expensive.

The next big space race won’t be about going up It’ll be about bringing things back down After four years building satellites at Astranis, Payton realized something: as launch costs collapse, the bottleneck flips There’s still no infrastructure for manufacturing products in space and returning them safely to Earth So Dispatch is building it The thesis is simple: gravity is an invisible constraint on manufacturing. Remove gravity and semiconductor defects drop Pharmaceutical crystals become more stable Biological structures that collapse on Earth can solidify in microgravity To prove the concept, the team built a full-scale heat shield, drove into the Mojave Desert, and blasted it with a rocket engine at 14× expected re-entry force It survived 6× what they needed The long-term vision: Factories in orbit. Permanent industrial infrastructure in space. 🎙️ Payton Case (@PaytonInSpace), CEO & Co-Founder @dispatchspace, on @fondocom @thestartpod Big thanks to @rhobusiness for making this episode possible!

P26 and YC alum. Next Wednesday. 5.30PM-8:30PM. → Individual portraits → Team portraits → Dinner & Coworking with panoramic views of SF Limited spots. RSVP: luma.com/fhuvotk8 @fondocom x @archer_money x @ElevenLabs x @digipals_app x @jpmorgan x @CBRE

Founders spend ~10 hrs/month on bookkeeping. That’s not just time. That’s ~$1,000+ in opportunity cost. Meanwhile: Books still messy Taxes still stressful There’s a better setup. Takes ~15 min to get started.

Your AI agent opened the PR Another AI agent tested it You just watched the recordings and hit merge Welcome to modern software development @Aakash_Mahali, Co-Founder & CEO, @RunCanary on START

Mom I made it. On a serious note, always great catching up with @davj Thanks to @posthog and @Fondocom

The old playbook: force every hotel into the same product The new playbook: bend automation around each hotel’s actual mess Coding agents make that level of bespoke finally pencil out @GavinBrennen, COO & Co-Founder, @TryLance on START

Ansel Dias is using his robot factory to build more robot factories @AutoFAB_inc is a robotic desktop factory that prints, assembles, quality-checks, and packages hardware autonomously It’s already being used to manufacture more of its own robotic arms The insight behind it is simple: Prototyping is easy Production is the completely different ballgame - and that’s where hardware startups die Factories. QA. Packaging. Scaling production. That’s the bottleneck AutoFAB wants to eliminate The long-term vision: AutoFABs making more AutoFABs 🎙️ @AnselDias, Founder & CEO, @AutoFAB_inc on Fondo START pod Huge thanks to @theresidency for making this episode possible!

Investors don’t need perfect financials. They need to understand them fast. Like: “Got it” in under 2 minutes fast. What that actually looks like: Clean history Consistent categories Clear burn + runway No weird swings you can’t explain If they need a walkthrough… that’s a problem. Full guide: fondo.ai/4w6STZI

The most valuable thing in AI won't be the answers It'll be knowing which ones are right Pedro Nobre is building that Cajal works at the intersection of formal verification and AI They use Lean - a language where math and software get proven correct or incorrect Binary. No ambiguity. The catch: the space of possible proofs is combinatorially huge Humans navigate it with strange inductive biases Machines couldn't Reinforcement learning changed that. Cajal is already working with frontier AI labs on theorem proving. Applications span software verification, cryptography, quantum information theory, and smart contracts 🎙️ @pedro_nobre0, Co-Founder, @CajalResearch on @fondocom @thestartpod Big thanks to @Rippling for making this episode possible!
