@HelsingAI is one of the most consequential companies being built in Europe today. they're bringing AI-native software into defense systems, and just as importantly, building software-defined hardware that lets those capabilities keep improving long after deployment. that shift, from fixed-function systems to platforms that get smarter over time, is what Europe's deterrence needs. we're proud @generalcatalyst to deepen our partnership with a team building real sovereign capability at scale helsing.ai/de/newsroom/he…

last week in berlin, we brought a delegation of European defense startups to the German Federal Ministry of Defense, and then back to our @generalcatalyst office for a roundtable to discuss how we build defense capabilities at the speed the moment demands. a few reflections: → sovereignty, cap table, and supply chain resilience are now first-order questions in how Europe thinks about who builds its critical capability → software-defined, API-first, open architecture makes the difference between iterating fast and being locked into black boxes → some genuinely promising reform ideas on the table: competitive dialogue that backs three or more vendors instead of winner-takes-all, and advance funding or down payments to help startups ramp production

pro-optimism and less complaining
Andreas Klinger 🦾@andreasklinger

We think Europe needs more pro-European, pro-tech, pro-abundance, pro-optimism propaganda. So we made it. Posters, t-shirts, hoodies. Full-on propaganda. We've been handing them out at robotics meetups and clubs all over Europe for weeks, and people love them. Why we are doing this: Europeans know more about the companies in the States than the ones right here at home. We need to change that. Time for propaganda. Every poster features a real European company: 🦾 Allonic is braiding humanoids. A completely new approach to building robotic parts. If it works, a number one company worldwide, right here in Europe. 🚜 Voltrac, the electric autonomous tractor (we made a whole video about them). 🏗️ Automated Architecture (AUAR), doing micro-factories for wooden houses.  🪨 Gondor Industries, a stone mason company using robotics. And many, many more to come. This is the first of many drops. More launching in the next few weeks, including flags, EU posters and more. 👉 Get yours at prototype-shop.com For Europe 🇪🇺🔥 PS: If you're organizing a robotics event or meetup, have a student club or hacker space, comment or message us and we'll send you a swag box.

I've been lucky enough to watch @Etched quietly build for the past couple of years. Excited that everyone finally gets to see what they've been working on. Congrats!! @robertwachen @UbertiGavin

We're coming out of stealth. We've built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised. Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads. Our first racks ship this summer.

stuffing your data room with AI generated docs is an anti-signal. i'd take a few human written, honest pages over 100 polished ones any day

Half my office hours is just telling founders they're not charging enough. It always feels scary to try and ask for more money, but very few contracts actually fall apart because you asked too high a price if the customer loves your product. At worst the customer will tell you that it's more than they expected and you can then choose ask them what amount they'd be interested in paying knowing that you've at least anchored them high.
