Superhuman performance and intelligence for manufacturing! That’s why we backed @ariyankabir in 2021. It’s happening now!
Addressing the future of American manufacturing at NAIA’s The New Industrial Age Forum, @GrayMatterRobot Co-Founder and CEO @ariyankabir argued that present-day factories won’t take America where it needs to be. How we design, define, and sustain factories autonomously to drive productivity is the most important factor to take into consideration.

Cameron is 100% driven by THE MISSION, it’s who he is. And is also all of the other things he said!
I’m so lucky to be an American, a friend, and an industrialist.

Seriously! @AlaskaAir for the win. My flight to San Fran was on @SouthwestAir and the internet ALMOST worked on that flight. @SpaceX /@Starlink should really be on every plane that is functional….

Just finishing up a flight from JFK to LAX, 6 hrs. I’m sitting next to a man, no headphones, no phone, no book, not sleeping, not talking to anyone. NOTHING. He’s just been staring at the map of the plane moving across the country for HOURS! Not sure if I’m impressed or worried…. Didn’t get out of his seat once. Consumed one “bubbly” water.

I’m 46 and have two kids. 8 and 5. Both are awesome, I should have had them sooner! I’d probably have two more if I had them sooner.
The reason people aren’t having enough kids in America is because it’s too expensive But a lot of this is due to our culture Live close to family Small towns in red states are amazing, not evil Have kids young if you can ❤️

Perspective matters… this a human next to a Starship!
Starship is the largest, most capable rocket ever developed and will allow us to achieve a shared vision of a future where humanity is out exploring stars → youtube.com/spacex

Great post on the importance of Rangeview!
Startups I'm Bullish On - Rangeview & @cameron62s A cultural center of gravity and one of the clearest examples of a New-Era Industrial Giant. Rethinking a 60+ century old MFG process - Casting. Using that to spearhead a new era of Progress. Literally Solving Liquid Metal

After taking @Waymo around San Fran this week and just getting out of my @lyft to OAK. I can honestly say I feel safer with a computer driving me rather than most humans….

Congrats to @ariyankabir, @brualshah and the @GrayMatterRobot team on the $45m Series B. You've accomplished a lot since the Seed round and the first demo you showed me back in 2021. It's even better to see the product improving the quality of life for workers and bringing efficiency to US manufacturing! #robotics #AI #manufacturing #deeptech #SeriesB #funding

Big congrats to @BradPorter_ and the team at Cobot! Human-Robot interaction is happening more than people think and this team knows how to execute!
