Dear X algo, my content is for
- Scientists
- Engineers
- Explorers
- Builders of space and hard tech
I talk about building in public, space lasers, satellites, re-industrialisation, running ultramarathons, doing hard things and the belief that humanity is meant to explore — beyond the cloud, beyond the atmosphere, beyond ourselves.
Harnessing space for the good of all mankind. 💫

Neuramill has been building quietly.
We reject the idea that AI’s purpose is automation alone. It's greater than that, its amplification.
Before AI can transform American manufacturing, it must learn from the people who built it.
Randy has spent 35 years as a machinist, helping build the backbone of American industry. He watched CNC rise, manufacturing move overseas, and generations of hard-won knowledge begin to disappear.
We are building to honor the people who built American manufacturing to preserve their expertise, and compound generations of knowledge.
Because America must own its manufacturing intelligence.
Randy’s story, coming soon.
Introducing Waddle Labs: Claude Code for robots.
Connect our API to your robot and enter a prompt, then our agents write code to achieve the task in 20 minutes.

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
We won the last 250 years.
We invented, built, and learnt.
Building the intelligence layer for American manufacturing to win the next 250.

We raised our Series A: $135M, led by Salesforce Ventures. We looked back at how we got here, because building this has been hard and worth it, and this is only step one.
We raised a $135M Series A!
8090’s Series A was led by Salesforce Ventures and joined by WNDR, Craft Ventures, The Production Board, and LAUNCH.
We also had the support of a group of esteemed angels including Nikesh Arora, Cliff Robbins, Adam D’Angelo, Shyam Ravindran, Abhi Arun, and Thomas Laffont.
We’re grateful for their support. It validates 8090’s mission and traction so far, but mostly it accelerates the work ahead.
The capital will go to two places. The first is hiring more people, because the demand we have is accelerating rapidly. The second is investing in the compute and infrastructure needed to keep delivering our solutions at high quality and reliability.
8090 works with the biggest, hardest, most demanding customers in the most regulated industries: healthcare, insurance, life sciences, aerospace, energy, manufacturing, financial services, and the United States government. We help them win by using our AI-enabled Software Factory to design and build entire new systems, refactor old ones, and find and accelerate their edge.
Our view is that as Software Factory is used more and more to do mission-critical work inside industries with the least tolerance for error and the most oversight, it will be used to bring transparency, consistency and control to work everywhere.
And as we expand the potential of the biggest organizations, we are also building a playbook and a series of network effects into Software Factory that will be valuable to everyone, from SMBs to solo founders.
With much gratitude, back to work…
PS - A note on why I am doing this as CEO, rather than from the board.
This is one of those rare moments when the technological ground is moving so ferociously underneath all of us that the decisions made in the next few years will set the stage for the next twenty.
AI can be the grand equalizer. It is the thing that can give everybody a shot, and I would like to help it achieve that potential. Since I left Facebook, I was waiting for a moment like this to return to a full-time operating role. I was a demanding manager back then, but I felt I had no choice given how powerful and undeniable what we were building was. I am convinced that what we are building now is even more important, so there was no decision to make except to be all in.
Someone just built a Claude Code for electronics.
It's called Blueprint. Type what you want to build and it generates wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and step-by-step assembly guides for your Arduino or Raspberry Pi project.

I’ve been SF-pilled
I loved meeting so many inspiring people out here this past week
Everyone I met taught me something new
And there is an infectious “you can just do things” attitude you don’t see anywhere else
SF has changed a lot in the last few years!
Back soon.
