Stoked for the team!!! Congrats guys

Europe’s critical industries - from manufacturing to industrials to commercial aerospace and of course defence - consist of some of the best businesses in the world. We want to build a new type of company to scale them up in order strengthen Europe’s defence and industrial foundations. I’ve long long been passionate about what I call Private Equity 3.0, and being half European and born in Italy, there’s no better or more important place to deploy this model. As primes and the winning neo-primes scale to deliver critical platforms for our defence, it’s equally important we scale the rest of the industrial base around them. It also turns out this same dynamic, fragmentation, and lack of scale and technology exists in many other critical industries as well. It won’t be easy, but Onodrim was started to go solve this by building the leading long term and trusted partner across capabilities and industries to the ecosystem. Many more announcements to come soon.

Bullish. Congrats @OverReactor1776 !

Mavria’s mission is to ensure that America delivers frontier infrastructure as quickly as we release frontier models.  

Even though we founded Mavria in June, our story started back in 2025.  @adamblake, @nickporadek, and I spent over a year of our lives fighting inside the US government to help secure a better future.  In the modern world, all progress is just a wrapper on energy.  When imagination outpaces power delivery, the unyielding laws of physics always win.  Accelerating our society up the Kardashev scale meant, and still means, rethinking how we arrange atoms in the physical world, no different than rethinking the architecture behind AI models.  We found stagnation across nuclear, transmission, and scientific research, and we did our level best to help.  But there is always more work to do.  And in my life, I’ve always looked for gradients, places where I can best leverage my time and energy for the most impact.  

Thankfully, I’ve had the privilege of learning how to deconstruct existing industrial processes and how we govern them alongside some of America’s most brilliant founders, leaders, thinkers, and builders.  That’s why, when Adam and Nick asked me to join them on something new, I said yes.  I knew that if we set out to build one of the most important industrial platforms of the 21st century, we would succeed.  Since starting, we’ve assembled a team of incredible people and supporters who share our vision, and, more importantly, our refusal to accept a different outcome.

Mavria starts, but by no means ends, with Terrain, a modular data center platform that will revolutionize AI infrastructure across the United States.  When we say Terrain will deploy in weeks, not months or years, we mean it.  Faster deployment means shorter time to tokens, but it also means less disruption to our host communities, the most important partners in our entire ecosystem.  In the same way we helped shift the dialogue around nuclear and the fuel cycle, Mavria will work with towns, counties, states, and the federal government to help change how average Americans feel about their future in a world of abundant intelligence.   

Like nuclear, data centers get a bad rep (in some cases, deservedly so).  But, also like nuclear, America needs more data centers.  Growing up, watching the Jetsons, I always felt robbed of the nuclear-powered future that society promised to my parents.  What I thought was a failure of imagination turned out to be a failure of execution and loss of social license.  Yet, support for nuclear power increases the closer you get to an operating nuclear plant.  We see a world where data centers also get more popular the closer you get to Terrain.  We’ve learned the lesson; don’t stop building, just build better.

Scaling Terrain will allow us to develop the tools we need to tackle other critical infrastructure projects, too.  When we prove ourselves in data centers, Mavria will then manufacture products upstream from Terrain until adding more compute seems as simple as using it.  And then, we will build even more.  Keeping our promise means that America can keep its promise as the land of opportunity, a world where anyone with a dream, tenacity, and a refusal to believe in “no” can cobble together the resources to build something extraordinary.  It means that when my children watch the Jetsons, they will not long for a fumbled future.  

Come help us keep our promise.  Come build the future with Mavria:

[Josh Zoffer @joshzoff]

It is extremely funny when China doves claim Beijing "accidentally" developed and exploited chokepoints in the global supply chain. They literally say out loud this is the strategy!

There's an important debate to be had about how we respond and the right techno-industrial policy, but can we please dispense with the premise that it isn't intentional?

Everyone gonna find out what ITAR really means pretty fast

[Brian Ratliff @BrierRat]

Is this true? If so, that’s not cool

[Dr. Peepee @drpeepee]

Design agencies - if you’re selling your clients highly sensitive CAD files to data brokers and training models, you will be subject to federal export control laws and I hope you get sued under the Defend Trade Secrets Act

Foreign state actors specifically target this layer for natsec penetration

[Chris Power @2112Power]

@jimbelosic @lasermatts Agreed

[Chris Power @2112Power]

Everyone selling cad to the labs is going to jail

[Aaron Slodov @aphysicist]

@mike_revenue insane lawsuits waiting to happen. don't fork over customer CAD.

[Chris Power @2112Power]

November @HadrianInc

[Chris Power @2112Power]

@MaxWithNanos No, it's not the manufacturers IP and they have no permission to sell customer CAD to the labs via data brokers. Most of it is ITAR as well.

[Pete Oxenham @peteoxenham]

what % of the cad data they’re trying to buy from shops do you guys think is at best ethically dubious to obtain, and at worst illegal

Industrial robotics and advanced manufacturing are foundational to America’s defense industrial base.

Securing domestic production capacity isn’t just an economic priority – it’s a national security imperative.

Extremely proud of @PalmerLuckey and team for this one. My only gripe is I haven't been able to buy one yet!

[Anduril Industries @anduriltech]

BlueChip. Built in America.

America made the first electronic computer to win a war.

Now we depend on our greatest adversaries to build the computers that run our economy and defend our nation.

Today, we bring it home.
