@DisruptionHedge late to post your axe as I’m the worst with packages but appreciate the gift, buddy!

Thanks @DisruptionHedge and @RationalOptSoc for recognizing me and the @ShipByAirship team among their top 30 innovators with this handy ax!
See who else made the list: rationaloptimistsociety.subs…

Meet our next Quarterhorse: Mk 2.2.
Powered by an upgraded propulsion system with new avionics, spike inlet, and additional fuel capacity, our most capable aircraft yet is moving into its flight campaign to Mach 2+.
The future belongs to those who build it - faster and faster.

“If the military is asking for it, you’re too late.”
Our CEO @ZaneMountcastle joined @DisruptionHedge to explain why, the bet behind Picogrid, and why he thinks LA could produce more $100 billion companies than San Francisco over the next 25 years.
The interview is out today. Link to watch:

Just a normal Tuesday, someone mails me an axe. Thank you for the hatchet job, @DisruptionHedge! 😅🥹

Thank you @RationalOptSoc for this: I’ll have to remember to bring it to a Gundo bonfire so I can chop some wood.

Today, we’re announcing Varda’s $250M Series D raise, bringing the total amount of capital raised to $598 million with a $1.6B valuation.
This funding will help us build more vehicles, grow pharmaceutical partnerships, and advance toward the first medicine manufactured in space for patients on Earth.

I've been storing this one for quite a while!
We now officially supply chemically pure grade methane in California with our partner @westairgases. Photos are with our first externalized six pack during the spring.
An insane amount of hard work went into making this happen. I try not to think too much about the blood sweat and tears of the last five years but this milestone makes it particularly sweet.

Terraform is hiring! If you're an ambitious technically minded savant, Terraform is an incredible place to get exposed to every aspect of building a hardware business from sales and hiring to design test and analysis!

AI is getting cheaper more quickly than any other transformative tech in history. At a given level of performance, cost has fallen ~47%/quarter since 2023.
That’s 4× faster than DNA sequencing, 6× faster than compute, 18× faster than lithium batteries, and (up to 1973) 54× faster than electricity.

A bunch of Nobel Prize-winning economists have endorsed California's proposed billionaire wealth tax.
I can't oppose them on authority. But I know some academics who can.

Loved spending time with @DisruptionHedge and the team for this conversation. If you’re interested in how we can solve water scarcity and rethink the way we produce freshwater, give this a listen!
40% of global freshwater demand is projected to go unmet by 2030. Water scarcity is one of the defining infrastructure challenges of our time, and solving it will require a massive advancement in how we desalinate and reuse water.
That’s exactly what we’re building at Eden Tech.
@HunterManzEden, co-founder and CEO of Eden Tech, joined @DisruptionHedge on the @RationalOptSoc podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on our patented Reverse Osmosis Centrifuge, how we’re working to fundamentally advance desalination technology, why water infrastructure is overdue for innovation, how access to water is becoming a constraint on economic growth, water chemistry, what it will take to build a more water-secure future, and much more.
We believe dramatically improving the economics and capabilities of desalination can unlock an entirely new supply of freshwater and help solve water scarcity at a meaningful scale.

Proud to see @_Andrenam_ listed first in Rational Optimist Society’s Innovators League 30.
They selected 30 companies from more than 1,100 they track, every company on the list building hardware they've seen in person.
Thank you to Rational Optimist Society and @DisruptionHedge for the recognition. We are in very good company.

If you've got school aged kids, this is one to watch.
The UAE is one of the first countries to launch a K-12 AI curriculum. That means kids as young as 5 or 6 years old are now taking AI classes. I sat down with Education Minister @SarahAmiri1 to find out the vision for the program and what exactly it'll look like:

Fascinating tool that lets you re-draw your life at random, becoming a random person in a random country at a random time in human history. It then recounts your story.
A few runs in, my reaction is, f--- this!!! Hoping there's no reincarnation...
