8 years of building, 4 weeks of writing, and your feedback just helped us nail the SRTX story. Check out how we're reshaping Western manufacturing: https://t.co/dVuxjsYA0Z

I've raised $256M building the future of manufacturing. Need $23M more in 86 85 days to reach profitability.
Instead of secretive pitch meetings, I'm opening up the war room to the internet.

Need a little self-love and clarity? Let ChatGPT play therapist:

1.Ask it: ‘Write a love letter to me from myself in 10 years.’
2.Then: ‘Write a love letter from me today to my 18-year-old self.’

You’ll laugh, cry, and maybe cringe—10/10. Try it and thank me later.

'We only invest in software'
'We don't do consumer products'
'We don't fund capex'

Funny thing: While VCs obsess over pure software plays, we're building the manufacturing OS of the future. Sometimes the biggest opportunities are in the 'no' pile. 🎯

TIL from @guyraz & @herocosmetics: Korea requires brands to disclose manufacturers on packaging. In North America? ‘Competing' brands could come from the same factory and you'd never know.

Make it mandatory on packaging AND websites. Watch how fast 'Made in 🇺🇸 🇨🇦' becomes a flex

$23M sounds like a lot of money, until you're scaling hard tech. I lay out all the numbers here: https://t.co/7e8jHGLLig

Yesterday, I shared one of the most vulnerable posts of my career—about the very real 90-day countdown we’re in to make or break at Sheertex.

Today, I’m on the cover of Forbes.

If that isn’t the most startup thing ever, I don’t know what is.

I shared more in an open letter to SRTX shareholders. If you’re curious about the full story, you can read it here: https://t.co/QpOe9H9BEH

We’re at a moment most entrepreneurs never talk about publicly: the knife-edge between transformation and collapse. Here’s what it really looks like to scale industrial innovation. 🧵

[Katherine Homuth @KatherineHomuth]

After 8 years of operating on the edge, I know these moments are where the most meaningful breakthroughs happen. Follow along as we navigate this critical chapter.

Borrow what isn't defensible, but build what lasts. Because whether it’s manufacturing, tech, supply chains, or something else entirely, economies thrive when businesses create lasting value—and anchor it locally.

Someone just pointed out I’ve tied the fate of our unbreakable tights to checks notes... the entire Western world? Huh, I do like that marketing. 😂 Well, first off, we’re not just a tights business (but that’s a thread for another day). But they might actually have a point... 🧵

[Katherine Homuth @KatherineHomuth]

So yeah, maybe tights do matter. Not because they’re tights, but because they’re proof you can build something lasting, grow the pie, and keep value here—where it belongs.
