Used to run a cash strapped mfg company. It ducking SUCKED.
If I had $1M I could have built the world. Debt financing is nearly impossible for SMB’s

Manufacturing isn’t dead in America. Manufacturing expertise is just scarcer than people want to admit. Ambition & capital is not the problem. We need more operators who know how to move from prototype to production at legitimate scale.

@MichelleVolz Something @CamberRoad would love to help co-host with you.

I never really understood “defense investors” who were afraid of capex.
My brother - the factory and hardware are the moat. Get on board or get TF out the way.

The Somali daycare center fraud reads like a Coen Brothers film. Such an absurdist, cohesive parody of so many problems that it can’t actually be real.
I’d love to believe this one will stick because the outrage from normal people is universal. There’s nothing more scandalous than deliberate theft of tax dollars and the culturally aware Learing Centers for Autistic Kids are forever memorable and memeable.
But there are hardly any stories on this in the mainstream press, and not just because of typical bias. How does the paper of record begin to cover a story that confirms, with ridiculous details, the most decadent kind of institutional decay? A story that validates a political movement’s core arguments with images and plot devices that are too far-fetched for the writer’s room?
This is cinema, not news. The story is completely dead without X and might not survive as long as it should.

Gettin real tired of people talking about the need for unconventional modes of scaling and financing a hardware company without finding ways to unconventionally scale or finance their hardware company

Last year, with missile wars spreading around the world, we decided to take on the biggest challenge in missile defense: modern, long-range interceptors.
Excited to share details about our progress and plans as we announce Cyclops.
More coming soon...

Today, Long Wall is announcing Cyclops: a new, surface-launched, exoatmospheric interceptor to defeat missiles in the midcourse phase of flight.

@chindsay20 @CalebChamberla6 @amer_icon More founders should be using debt instead of equity, especially in hard tech. Financial literacy is never really talked about much in hard tech circles, but actually there's a ton of alpha to be had if you understand what's possible with some creative financial engineering

This is deeply true. Manufacturing is a tough business to run, hard to scale, capex heavy, working-capital intensive, and mercilessly competitive. High margin, differentiated businesses are very rare.
Investors are practical. The fact is that a manufacturing investment rarely looks appealing for its own sake. It does make sense for dollars to flow elsewhere. There are exceptions, but they prove the rule.
This reality is just baked in. If we care about strategic capability at the national level, then incentives have to be structured to mitigate the problems. And those incentives have to be sane and long-lived, beyond one administration.
Gavin (Owner 67 Designs)@67Designs
Objectively, there is no incentives to invest in US manufacturing and the markets and market makers (JPMC, Goldman etc) tell us we are fools to bet against them. Unless and until the Administration (because Cogress will never do it) pushes direct and long standing tax incentives in front of the banks so they can then create products to sell to wealthy American families, then no progress will be made to get some of the trillions tied up in money market funds. @realDonaldTrump needs to get serious about the private sector having the incentives to bring capital to the manufacturing base.

@CalebChamberla6 @amer_icon @chindsay20 There are some solid customer names on his website which is a good sign 🤗

This is a very real fact. Until you go to build a factory, you don’t realize how much of the equipment went to China.
Alex Grant@biglithium
95% of reindustrialization projects in the US are Chinese industrial products reconfigured into widgets and doodads. We're cosplaying as an industrial power until we figure out how to build large CapEx projects in commodity-like businesses.

@alexisxrivas I can’t wait to finance some equipment for you bro

Each new factory is a multiplier. Capital compounds into better tools, higher quality, faster throughput, lower cost per home.
That’s how housing moves from craft to production at scale.
Alexis Rivas@alexisxrivas
Our first factory was pure R&D. The current one proves the process. The next expands capacity. The one after is our Gigafactory equivalent.

When I go to SF and meet new people they are often completely fascinated by the fact that I have 4 kids.
Fascination + bewilderment + some comment about me being too young to have kids
yitong@yitong
Everyone in SF is trying so hard to be interesting that the ultimate heresy here is simply being a high functioning normal person: get married, have kids, show up for your friends, be on time, call your parents, have basic etiquette... lots of alpha in normal maxxing
