Most founders have no idea Nevada is doing this. ⚡ The only active lithium mine in the U.S. The Tesla Gigafactory. An industrial park larger than the city of Detroit. Reno-Tahoe is the #5 emerging data center market in the world. Battery manufacturing growing 6x the national average. Zero income tax. Electricity roughly half California rates. And it's only a 3-4 hour drive from Silicon Valley. We built a @gener8tor accelerator here because this is where energy companies should be building right now. Electrify Nevada is equity-free, state-backed, and open to founders across battery tech, critical minerals, grid edge, commercial electrification, AI infrastructure, and physical AI. One requirement: you want to build in the fastest growing energy economy in the U.S. 🇺🇸 We are open to any stage, globally. We want the best energy founders in the world building in NV. Fall 2026 applications are open. First round closes June 30. Comment BIG ENERGY and I'll send you the link to apply early and get a first review.

Interesting.

a16z is literally telling you to reincorporate your startup in NV instead of DE/CA

Building data center tech?

Love @Costco 💓

Let's build NV! Let's build NV! Let's build NV!

@500GlobalVC @DeepInfra Let’s bring them to Nevada at the worlds largest data center campus

We're excited to see @DeepInfra expand its global footprint with its first international data center in Toronto! The new 1.7 MW facility, equipped with more than 1,000 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 GPUs, is DeepInfra's ninth data center and will help enterprises run AI workloads with lower latency and greater efficiency by bringing compute closer to users and data. We look forward to seeing the team's continued investment in the infrastructure needed to support the next wave of production AI.

Neuralink. The Trade Desk. That's not a coincidence, that's a pattern. @elonmusk said the quiet part out loud after Delaware voided his Tesla pay package: never incorporate there again. Nevada or Texas, if you actually want your shareholders deciding things. Here's the part people miss though. @a16z didn't just move their own entities to Nevada. They're now telling every startup in their portfolio to consider doing the same, before they even get big enough to need a Delaware lawyer. That's the shift. It's not the household names anymore. It's the largest VC firm in the country changing the default for the next 10,000 companies that haven't been founded yet.

@pollock We've been all over the US and would love to do work in Nevada, too. Give us a holler builtrobotics.com/contact/start

@amturbines we’d love to help you bring your manufacturing operation to Reno,NV

The AI boom is pushing Silicon Valley back toward factories, drones, shipyards and other corners of American manufacturing. Read more in the latest AI Infrastructure newsletter: thein.fo/4p4HoPF

@c0nst Ty for sharing & let’s reindustrialize ⚡️

ive been pro-reindustrialization for a decade, still am. last couple years i was blown away by how much attention manufacturing finally gets here. thought that day would never come (thought we'd die in crypto and finance apps). but it came. now everyone, even YC (lol), is "hey-hey we're reindustrializing america, china took it all from us." then the whole run of communist-AI vs democracy-AI speeches on the fields of detroit, last year and this one. money floods in at gigantic scale. the vibe now: saas builders are pussy, only AI and hardtech matter, we're winning every day. china as the threat is useful, sure. an enemy, competition, something to build around as a community. i hadn't seen that energy anywhere else i've lived. but useful vibe doesn't make a business real. and here are the problems. one is operations. i've seen a lot of shops that just shouldn't exist. relying on one or two customers, bloated teams, biz models that don't survive contact with the actual market unless you rebuild them from the ground up. so filling a gap isn't a business. the other is durability. "buy made in the US, not communist goods" is a slogan, but not a moat. it flips 180 on the next election cycle. people (and money) get rerouted, happened plenty of times before. i want things that make economic and strategic sense built locally. i want to help reindustrialization. i also want to stay sane and see what's hype and what's real. so every weekend i dig in. what's happening, what's noise, what's signal, where the gaps are, who builds what, does it make sense. lots still to uncover. but worth the research to know what to build next. i've been pro-reindustrialization for a decade, still am. last couple years i was blown away by how much attention manufacturing finally gets here. thought that day would never come (thought we'd die in crypto and finance apps).

🇺🇸 AMERICAN DATA CENTERS 🇺🇸 Excellent piece in FT by my friend @joshzoff arguing that the US can't treat data centers like we treated rare earths, and that data centers are a great way to finance development of a bunch of other advanced technologies (strong agree).

A data center isn't just compute It's a financing vehicle that pulls power generation, grid, chips, and construction along with it. One buildout drags a dozen adjacent industries forward. We have to keep building.

@GeneralFusion can I bring you to US/NV?

Looking for a job? Nevada leads the nation in job growth 📈 And our unicorns are hiring: @Tesla giga factory w/ @panasonic + Tesla autonomous semi truck factory @RedwoodMat and @CrusoeAI (data center collab) @positron_ai - $1b chip maker competing with Nvidia @Switch Citadel (AI castle vibes) @sendcutsend ($1b val w/ @sequoia) @amperesand (built $18m manufacturing facility off last $80 raise) @LithiumAmericas - Thacker Pass - largest lithium reserve @unevadareno - new aerospace and defense academy + @SierraNevCorp @DragonflyDFLI @EETechnologies @FutureFormManu ++ Vegas: @P_1_AI @tensorwave @BrincDrones @boringcompany @zoox And this is just to name a few as Nevada remains a major driver in the great American industrial renewal.

Are you building the next era of industrial technology? We'd love to help you scale. gener8tor.com/nevada

Nevada has the largest data center campus in the US

This Fourth of July we're not just celebrating 250 years of American history – we're building the next chapter of American energy. Made in America, for America.
