I’m hiring for two major roles on my team at Ulysses.

There has not been a better time to join Ulysses.

In the last few months, revenue & pipeline have gone vertical, and we've made significant technological breakthroughs that will forever change how subsea work is done.

It's been the most successful period in our company's history, and we are just getting started.

We will be announcing some of these breakthroughs soon. Stay tuned.

The jobs:

1. GM, Commercial: Your job is to stand up and lead our commercial business unit. Take our early contracts and scale them to build a machine that reshapes how critical telecoms and energy infrastructure is inspected and repaired.

2. Director of Marketing and Brand. Your job is to make Ulysses impossible to ignore. World-build. Make Ulysses "the Ocean Company". Take the air out of the room. High taste. No slop. Tell the world what Ulysses does.

Quit your boring desk job.
The ocean is calling.

@BenGoldsmith @ElakhaA @ElakhaA is doing rewilding so well. Doing the work of building trust in communities, supporting good science, and telling a compelling story. Could not be a bigger fan. 🦦

@PeterOlivier Prepping for NYCW I take it?

@sdamico @ImpulseLabs_ Absolutely can't wait for mine! 🍳

I ran into an interesting story, and since I have much time on this cruise I will write it as a thread.

Teaser: The US owes its ownership of Alaska to one of “the Eight Beauties of Ancient China,” the concubine Chen Yuanyuan from the 1600s.

Here is the tale…

@BenLamm Great paper! And, a quality entry in the list of things GRRM will do instead of writing Winds of Winter

I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @WildInsights AI team (and completely impossible without Ștefan Istrate's AI development and implementation effort).

@SophiePurdom @_SophiePurdom Done! A while back someone turned Superorganism into a crypto scam, imitation flattery and all that

[Kevin Webb @WebbKevin]

And now at @willob's request, we have our first shark up at @superorganismvc

Pumped about this one. Meet @UlyssesEcoEng, building robots to restore seagrass at scale.

Obviously it was called the Museum Wormianum and this is what it looked like.

[Kevin Webb @WebbKevin]

TIL that Copenhagen’s natural history museum was founded by a guy named Ole Worm.
