TL;DR - i left Rivian after 5 incredible years.
now, i'm excited to finally share what i've been building next👀
(deep breath, here we go)
first off, thank you to the Rivian team...
together, we dug through warehouses searching for parts.
together, we pulled all-nighters trying to solve the impossible.
together, we took the factory and its supply chain from zero to warp speed.
i learned leadership, product dev, manufacturing, and supply chain alongside some of the smartest folks i’ve ever worked with.
but somewhere along the way, i started to feel a huge disconnect...
the long-tail of American manufacturing has long been neglected by big tech.
so very few startups are building the solutions that the plant floor ~actually~ needs.
if they are in the small subset of startups working on a good problem, i bet they probably raised too much $ and will have to charge too much for their solution. 🐸☕️
i couldn’t shake the feeling that there had to be a better way.
so @MorellCarson and i started building. the right way.
we co-founded Lethal Ventures!
we’re not your grandpa’s holding company... we’re setting off to build the world's best 'factory' for manufacturing tech.
no more overpriced enterprise licenses. no more bloated roadmaps.
just fast, affordable manufacturing tech - built by us (in house) in partnership with real operators who face real problems every day on the plant floor.
we’re out of stealth.
and now... it’s time to build. 🛠️

Hey @TPLINKUS why do I have to manually scan my home Deco network for WiFi Interference? Shouldn’t it know to prompt me if there’s an opportunity to further optimize?

Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material, traveling at 100 miles per second, shoot off the sun. Earth's magnetic field deflects most of it, but not all. The solar wind, a stream of charged particles, flows at 447 km/s (1 million mph), and while the magnetic field protects us, some particles still cause auroras and geomagnetic storms.

My experience #exploring partnerships within the energy industry has always led me to believe that [energy] system 'capacitance' would be a key enabler of grid resilience. Glad to see that I'm not alone... lnkd.in/enGZ-AMt
