Enemies of America have been put on notice. 🇺🇸

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Much more coming out from @xAI.

We are cooking hard on many projects.

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

@robhennefer Super excited for you, Rob!

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

We’ve raised $61M to execute on our long term mission of reclaiming American tech superiority.

I’m very grateful for everyone who believes in us, and especially grateful for all our Vector team, industry partners, and backers.

There’s a lot of work ahead to prepare America for the next fight. It’s going to take a village. 🇺🇸

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

@benclambert @Pelion_VP Thanks for believing in us Ben. Going to be another never-boring journey. LFG!

[Ben Lambert @benclambert]

10 years ago I issued my first term sheet to @GeorgeMatusJr when he was a high school senior. I knew I wanted to invest in what ever he would build for the rest of his life. I get another chance today.

Today I’m excited to share that this summer @Pelion_VP led the series A in @TFVector along with @lightspeedvp @p72vc @HarpoonVentures @runventures_vc @KickstartFund @ShieldCapital

I was able to meet @AndrewYakulis and instantly knew that he was a special entrepreneur; he served our country for 18 years in the Army and is now serving our country by building @TFVector.

The team Andy has assembled is world class and has moved as fast as any startup I have seen. With @GeorgeMatusJr, Larsen and Matt as co-founders, Vector has the team and the opportunity to build the world’s most important defense company this century.

LFG!

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

America’s technological supremacy is coming back. @SecDef just issued an order to accelerate our drone industrial base and @TFVector is ready to run.

This morning we introduced our Vector Hammer to the world on Fox News. Thanks to @realDonaldTrump for the callout!

Hey, that drone looks familiar! What do you think @GeorgeMatusJr ?

The world doesn’t know it yet, but the next massive drone manufacturer is being built in …Utah. By a team of killers.

[Amber Smith @AmberSmithUSA]

@DODResponse Here’s the company that is answering the call and making the drone @TheDroneWarrior was holding up @TFVector. Very cool stuff:

[Brett Velicovich @TheDroneWarrior]

Epic. Thank you Mr. President @realDonaldTrump! I know you and @SecDef are leading the charge to make America dominate the global drone industry. We need your continued leadership to create change. #drones @PeteHegseth

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

I’m a Thiel Fellow and have dedicated my life to drones

Last year my company won the largest ever U.S. Army program (by volume) for small drones, but that was only for <6,000 systems. America is so far behind

Would love to tell you about my plan to try to fix this. As you say we are screwed otherwise

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

A huge executive order for American drones. Let’s go! https://t.co/niem58z0Zx

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@shaunmmaguire Drones are the future of warfare.

Manned aircraft are not.

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

@eastdakota @tatianawebb Incredible to see and glad we were able to help. Long time in the making.

[George Matus @GeorgeMatusJr]

I’m super proud of the whole team at Pelion for what they’re doing in Utah. Huge news today with their new fund.

Onward.

[tyler hogge @thogge]

Some fun news:

@Pelion_VP is excited to announce fund 8, a $500m venture fund.

We have already made several investments out of fund 8, in companies like Strider, @remilabs, Jump, Kapital, etc

onward!
