Today, we’re announcing that we’ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins.
America has lost the ability to build, and we’re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve construction’s greatest challenges.
Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build.
That’s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. We’re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the world’s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries.
We are building technology that expands what’s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars.
We’ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the world’s most complex critical infrastructure projects.
This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts.
We’re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us.
Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey.

@TrungTPhan Jensen's favorite hobby is reminding ex-shareholders what their stake would be worth today. Masa, Irimajiri... who's next on the list? 😂

Jensen was in Tokyo and met with former Sega CEO Shoichiro Irimajiri, who saved Nvidia from bankruptcy with a $5 million check in 1995.
At Nvidia’s IPO in 1999, Sega sold its entire stake for $15 million (3x). Jensen told Rogan the stake would be worth over $1 trillion.
Jensen thanked Irimajiri for believing in him and sending Nvidia on an “unbelievable” journey.

Full Jensen story on Sega CEO saving Nvidia by turning a $5m contract for Dreamcast development into an equity stake in 1996: “[Sega’s CEO] decided that ‘Jensen was a young man he liked’…and if he would have kept that $5m investment, I think it’d be worth ~$1T today.” (Sega sold the stake at the IPO when Nvidia was worth $300m)

@AravSrinivas Aravind’s dilemma: tries to compete with everyone, as a result competes with no one

We’ve built our own sandbox lifecycle management platform SPACE to serve all production traffic of Perplexity Computer.
When we rolled out Computer in February, we ran it on one of the sandbox providers. Today, we serve 100% of the traffic on SPACE with 5x faster tail latency.

I’ve listened to thousands of hours of great music since. What an awesome streaming service.

The biggest mistake people make with the SpaceX S-1? Focusing on this quarter’s losses.
The real signal isn't in the financials, it's the rate of iteration. @SpaceX went from scrap metal to the most advanced rocket ever built in a decade.
Your job isn't to model the red ink. It's to decide what you believe in: AI, orbital connectivity, or a multi-planetary future.
