Your fund sponsors tech talks. Ours sponsors rodeos.
We are not the same.
@GoAheadVC: Funding American Builders 🇺🇸 🐎

[Phil Brady | GoAhead Ventures @Phil_Brady_]

We once powered Arctic defense systems and deep-space probes with radioisotopes. Now we pay $500M+ per year to manage that source material as “waste.”
@ProjectOmegaHQ just came out of stealth with a working nuclear battery at PNNL, turning stranded nuclear fuel into strategic power.
Energy resilience = national security! 🇺🇸

Christmas came early, proud to rep the brand!
Posting this now for the inevitable “how early were you?” question in 2035 when Terranova lifts Wall Street📈 🧾

America’s AI air fleet is airborne 🚀
Flyby’s F-11s are GPU-powered, CCP-free, developer-ready, and built for true on-edge AI compute.
Finally an open platform where AI can fly. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Our autonomous counter-drone laser system in operation.

[David Zagaynov @DavidZagaynov]

We've raised our $11M seed to build autonomous cargo planes at Poseidon Aerospace.

We are building the future of air freight with unmanned platforms, designed from the ground up to move cargo significantly cheaper and faster.

Led by Tamarack Global with participation from Drover Ventures, Draper Associates, Starship Ventures, Cade Ventures, GoAhead, Fortitude Ventures and angels.

[Jason H. Lu 🇺🇸 @JHL_Express]

Minimal presence. Maximum impact.

[Poseidon Aerospace @poseidonaero]

We built Seagull to validate the core principles of amphibious flight and operations.

Now, we’re developing a larger platform capable of carrying up to 2 tons ushering in the future of aerial and maritime logistics.

Full steam ahead.

Right now, America is "one order of magnitude high on cost and one order of magnitude low on ambition.” – @SauravShroff5

America needs to win in space, and @StarpathSpace just made it 10x cheaper to power the future. 🚀🇺🇸

Proud to back this mission!

[TechCrunch @TechCrunch]

The round was co-led by designer Yves Béhar and Tesla co-founder Marc Tarpenning, who helped get Telo off the ground in 2022. https://t.co/2GSIAcQ96L

[Aurelius Systems @aureliuslasers]

Proud to be backed by @outlandervc, @squadra_vc, @decisivepointvc, @alumniventures, @NewFounding, @GoAheadVC, @dvpfund, @EOTECHInc, and @Mana_Ventures.

A huge thank you to our team who have believed in this mission from day one.

Much more coming soon.

[Aurelius Systems @aureliuslasers]

The world needs a new weapon against drones.

We just raised $10,000,000 in funding to bring autonomous laser defense to the battlefield.

Led by @generalcatalyst and @drapervc.

[Michael LaFramboise 🇺🇸 @LaFrogman]

Announcing that we've raised a $10M round coled by
@generalcatalyst and Draper Associates. Drones continue to be the deadliest development on the modern battlefield. We're at risk of them coming closer to home as well.

@aureliuslasers is focused on addressing this threat with a sub $1 marginal cost to shootdown. We're continually delivering to our us DOD customers, and will use the funding to expand our team, continue to expand operations in two US states, and support our B2B and DoD partners.

[Phil Brady | GoAhead Ventures @Phil_Brady_]

The best founders aren't waiting around.
They're in the trenches, building with conviction and speed.
We’ve backed 10 generational bets this year at @GoAheadVC, here are 5 that are already bending reality:

• @ https://t.co/zM2bPwlZTX – laser turrets for C-UAS
• @FlybyRobotics – AI-native drones
• @poseidonaero – seaplanes for cargo/ISR
• @StarpathSpace – off-world fuel plants
• @valaratomics – nuclear gigasites

If you’re building fast and don’t want to spend 12 weeks herding indecisive VCs, we should talk.

[Jason H. Lu 🇺🇸 @JHL_Express]

In a rare case for recent work we can publicly talk about at Flyby Robotics. Huge honor to be working alongside the Marines @MCIWPendletonCA

[Phil Brady | GoAhead Ventures @Phil_Brady_]

LFG!! Make Nuclear Great Again 🚀
Exciting times as always for @valaratomics - incredibly grateful to be along for the journey here. This is a watershed moment, can't wait to see @isaiah_p_taylor and the team achieve criticality and split the atom on US soil 🇺🇸

[TELO Trucks @TELOtrucks]

The Dream Driveway ☀️

[Jason H. Lu 🇺🇸 @JHL_Express]

Smooth ML performance entirely on-edge seamlessly integrated into the end application or shitty laggy ML that’s not usable. This is why compute on edge matters.

[Phil Brady | GoAhead Ventures @Phil_Brady_]

LFG @isaiah_p_taylor ☢️!!
So pumped for this ep 🔥
First @ADoricko and now you - gundo taking over the AAA podcast circuit fr. Shoutout @ShawnRyan762 for giving a platform to the American builders 🇺🇸
