Obsession looks like the lead accountant working in the pits on race weekends. At @PrattMillerMS, winning is everyone’s job. And they’re obsessed with winning. Elite engineers from around the world join Pratt Miller to push Corvettes to the max and set the standard for the rest of the field. Some stay for a high tempo career, others become leaders across aerospace, energy, and other sectors that benefit from a winning mentality. Serious racing needs serious engineers. Work at Pratt Miller: prattmiller.com/careers Engineered to win.

and because of this we are seeing the same concepts across the industry. Similar to waterfall ➡️ agile. -Hardware is becoming smarter -Big global re-industrialization push -Markets are very competitive …etc Move fast, collect data, test with more insights, build resilient hardware fast, win.

Elon used the same vertical integration playbook at SpaceX. SpaceX brought rocket design, engines, avionics, structures, and software in-house. This tight loop of build fast, test (often to failure), analyze, iterate in weeks drove exponential learning, collapsed costs, and turned reusable rockets into reality.

ELON MUSK: "We're starting off with an advanced technology fab here in Austin, and I'd like to thank @GregAbbott_TX and the state of Texas for the support. So in the advanced technology fab, we will have all of the equipment necessary to make a chip of any kind logical memory, and we will also have all of the equipment necessary to make the masks. So in a single building, we can create a mask, make the chip, test the chip, make another mask, and have an incredibly fast recursive loop for improving the chip design. To the best of my knowledge, this doesn't exist anywhere in the world. We're really going to push the limit of physics in compute, and we're going to try a bunch of wild and crazy things, which you can do if you've got that fast iteration loop that I can't emphasize enough the importance of being able to make it, to test it and and then make and then change the design, do another one, and have that in a single building."

So excited for NOMINAL team to build a monster balance sheet with top investors to move aggressively and decisively to support customers in commercial and government sectors. This financing is a validation of their commercial traction, and interest from insiders who know the company best to want to own more of the company if they can. They must know something others may not ;-)

Ambition is timeless. Tools are not. Today we are announcing an $80M acceleration round at a $1B valuation led by @foundersfund, with participation from @sequoia @generalcatalyst @Lux_Capital @RedGlass @lightspeedvp Avenir, and @Haystack. In the last year, we grew revenue 7x, added some of the world’s most serious hardware enterprises, and built over twice the new product surface area than in our prior two years combined. The most ambitious and fastest-moving hardware teams choose Nominal, from aerospace to energy, and automotive to defense, because it helps them learn faster and scale more efficiently. Our mission is to bring that advantage to every team building in the physical world. For those not yet using Nominal, we hope to have the opportunity to earn your trust and work hard for you and your company soon. All systems Nominal. 🚀 Thank you @business and @EdLudlow for sharing out story. And @traestephens and @zebulgar for doubling down. Read more about our announcement here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

“Ambition is timeless, tools are not” is a perfect moniker for Nominal. When we started ABL there was nothing out there so we rolled our own test software. I personally led that team and it took us a few years and cumulatively a few million dollars to build and deploy. I had a hard time seeing why we would migrate to something else until I got the Nominal demo. Much of our long term roadmap was already reflected. What wasn’t there yet didn’t take long to get added. And the fit finish and customer support was top class reflecting a true talent nexus and professionalism that is not common. Developing ambitious hardware comes down to hard work and smart analysis. A good tool that lets you quickly gather data, synchronize, reduce, compare, share, export, tag and label, comment, etc. etc. can be the difference between finding a great insight right now vs. next week, and in ambitious hardware programs that drives compounding value capture by things working instead of breaking, getting rev’d before they’re built, improving a sales deck or pre test readiness review, and more. One of the few categories of software where the value is not simply in labor hours saved but in mistakes avoided and opportunities captured. (Hence the revenue growth Cam highlights below). Congrats Cam and the Nominal team for most importantly a great product, exciting growth, and also a nice fundraise there. MIT mafia

Couldn’t be more excited for what is in front of us at @Nominal_io 🚀
Nominal@Nominal_io

Ambition is timeless. Tools are not. Today @nominal_io is announcing an $80M fundraise at a $1B valuation, led by @traestephens and @zebulgar at @foundersfund. Since our Series B 10 months ago: 7x revenue growth. 2x team growth. Hardware engineers are stuck between 1980s-era tools and .com software built to be replaced. We're fixing the data supply chain so the industrial sector can adopt AI and enter the next era of ambition. We’re also releasing Volume 1 of the Nominal Product Catalog: "Tools for Progress." catalog.nominal.io We're grateful for continued participation from @sequoia, @generalcatalyst, @Lux_Capital, @lightspeedvp, @redglassvc, @avenirgrowth, and @haystackvc. All Systems Nominal.

Making one hard decision you need to make, can change the course of your life. Most people have to "reach their limit" before they make big changes, don't let it get that far. If you know *now,* plan, and act as soon as possible.
