We've been marking major milestones at @heronpower the past few weeks, from completing our first two prototype Heron Links to pushing power at 34.5kVAC in our backyard test facility in Scotts Valley. Come join the fun, we're hiring!

Today we’re launching Parallax, the AI energy company with a $117m fundraise led by Founders Fund, Eclipse, Lux, Diffusion, Greylock and General Catalyst. (1/5)

Great opportunity if you’re interested in American manufacturing!

[Ryan Li @ryanli28]

At @AmcaInc, the only thing we care about is how quickly we can bring our vision for aerospace into existence.

We’re hiring the first member of our team to help us support our pace of growth. Right now, that means working with me and the rest of our team to roadmap new products and build out our recruiting function. This will be a fun and very difficult cross-functional role that spans creative research, ops, and sales (in a broad sense).

We’re looking for someone extremely analytical, persuasive, able to move quickly, and unwilling to ever take no for an answer.

Message me if you’re interested — you can start as early as this week.

@SpaceCadetAdi So sick!

@goldengatespace @joshgholder @heronpower Someone’s gotta build energy systems in the U.S….

[Max Reisner @MaximusReisner]

@TheBierwith Don’t forget about logistics. The ability to have fast and cost effective ways to move large amounts of materials between producer and consumer can often offset higher material costs.

Let’s build a better grid.

[Drew Baglino @baglino]

After a year focused on my family, enjoying extended travel and many hours spent gardening and surfing, I’m excited to share that I’ve started a new company, Heron Power.

The electricity sector is struggling to keep pace with AI’s insatiable energy demand on top of the growing electrification of transport, industry, and buildings. Meanwhile, developed economies are deploying renewable resources at near terawatt pace in the face of strong headwinds from undersized, decades-old electric infrastructure long-due for renewal. As we transition towards a more sustainable, largely electrified energy economy, the need for more deployable, efficient, and resilient electrical infrastructure has never been more critical.

Heron Power is building cutting-edge power electronics for the 21st-century grid. We aim to unlock faster growth of the electricity sector with scalable, innovative, and less costly hardware solutions, accelerating the electrification of everything.

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, let us know by reaching out or applying at https://t.co/6n38acn8u5!

@jaimalik Congrats Jai! Good luck with the launch!!

[Jai Malik @jaimalik]

Today, I’m excited to launch the Advanced Manufacturing Company of America. We've raised $76M in initial funding from Caffeinated Capital, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, a16z, and others.

The best time to build this business is right now, but the real work began decades ago.

I recently shipped my first feature at @joinformal: enabling VS Code remote development (and a whole host of other workflows) through the Formal Connector! 🎉

This was tricker than it sounds: it required forking an AWS library to fix *several concurrency bugs*.

@simbajonga2 @elonmusk You’re very rarely handed an opportunity. You gotta make it yourself

[Max Reisner @MaximusReisner]

@simbajonga2 If disruption was predictable, there wouldn’t be disruption

[Max Reisner @MaximusReisner]

@simbajonga2 @elonmusk Simple, we need more people to build more things!

@IanCLim Can’t wait till they automate sitting and staring at eachother

Traditional home care agencies enforce 4-6 hour minimums per visit which makes home care unaffordable for most (>$70k per year)

There’s a joke in the industry: “I (caregiver) finish everything in the first hour then we sit and stare at each other for the next 5 hours.”

Caregivers should focus on the most human, personal care tasks such as changing, bathing, incontinence, etc. In reality, this takes 1-2 hours per visit

Human caregiver experts + robot generalists will make home care much more affordable/accessible for everyone

We’re building the new way for older and disabled adults to age in their home. We’re focused on the human side by putting caregivers at the center for the most personal tasks and excited to work with Optimus + other humanoid robots once ready.

And we’re hiring 😃 DMs are open
