Chang Robotics is a Christ-centered engineering firm that designs, builds, and commissions Factory 5.0 automation for American manufacturing.

I build factories that bring manufacturing back to America. 🇺🇸

I've commissioned about 30 factories. Not PowerPoints about factories. Not tweets about factories. Actual factories, standing next to the owner when we press the button to turn them on.

Here's how we win:

Entrepreneurs take note:

Build a product that requires you to “do business” in the Maldives.

100 electric hydrofoil boats.
A ~$100M contract.

We are building a first-of-its-kind water transit network to transform how people move across the Maldives.

To scale this, we are partnering with Dubai-based JIH and its Maldives affiliate HARIM, led by Mohamed Ali Janah — a team with a 40-year track record of building the region’s premier resorts and launching the newly licensed Maldives Premier Bank.

Deployment of the first fleet starts later this year.

@ChipHaze @datarade Oh gotcha. Is this in Canada?

[Matthew Chang @MatthewChang]

@MichaelGuimarin @samanfarid For smaller manufacturers they can access 4-5x EBITDA. Or for acquisitions of assets maybe 2-3x revenue.

Key Bank knows what’s up.

@ChipHaze @datarade ? You mean you’re paying 10% of revenues in customs duties for imported materials?

Office Update 4 - Baby Inspection

The @ChangRobotics HQ is closing in on completion and calling for “CO” this month (certificate of occupancy)

Before the inspectors came in I took baby girl Chang on a walk thru to see if she could find any issues.

@AJA_Cortes Can I lead a manufacturing team from my tiny office in San Francisco and manage using trendy marketing and hype videos?

Asking for a friend.

@LetsBuildUSA @ChangRobotics Creativity is the name of the game !

Yes we will have very good feng shui before it’s all over. Natural light, plants, and a place for people to put their fixies and surfboards

[Matthew Chang @MatthewChang]

@SMB_Attorney No, I won’t do that

[Matthew Chang @MatthewChang]

@samanfarid *VC’s

[Matthew Chang @MatthewChang]

@samanfarid Bank loans require equity (down payment). I don’t see a problem with venture funds investing in manufacturing, but I can tell you their underwriting is sorely lacking.

And Venice needs to understand they will mostly be in 2nd position behind the debt holders

More waves!

Living at the beach!

Chang Kids roll into surf camp. Lots of talk about water safety on this app, and rightly so. Surfing solves the swimming issue for kids, because the kids learn how to remain calm in the water. Some pics below! 🧵

Waves are FIRING!
