The speed of relevance

I don’t think anyone would think that the company doing a field test yesterday just raised $5.4M in VC funding

The product looks, frankly, pretty bad.

Some commercial grade sensors drilled into briefcases supported by a plastic broom handle. But anything to save a minute, hour or day.

The point is that it works. Data is being collected and we have a benchmark for the next iteration. More sensors, embedded AI and eventually a beautiful chassis that represent @Stendr_tech

Embrace the cringe and just ship it

We're building @Stendr_tech . A new European defence prime in the making.
Counter-drone systems. A hardware-software R&D pipeline 10x faster than the norm.
Hiring engineers across software and electronics. DM me.

[Psycheout.ron @Psycheout86]

Today, @Stendr_tech announces a $5.4M pre-seed round. One of the largest in Nordic Defence Tech history.

When I stepped away from Sky Mavis, I had nearly eight years of hard lessons in my pocket. What it takes to survive near-bankruptcy. What it takes to find product-market fit. What it takes to scale something real under pressure.

Speed and focus. The startups that win move faster than anyone thinks is reasonable, and cut everything that does not serve the mission. Those lessons apply everywhere. Especially in defence, where the cost of moving slowly is measured in lives.

Stendr is building the foundational technology stack for a new Nordic defence prime: an AI-native platform for the rapid development and deployment of defence software and hardware. Built to perform today and adapt to the warfare of tomorrow.

The immediate problem we are pursuing is among the most urgent in modern warfare. Drones have changed what the battlefield looks like, and Europe's detection and response capability has not kept pace. We are building the sovereign technology to close that gap.

Norway is where we are building it. The engineering talent is world-class, the strategic context is clear, and the window to build something foundational is open.

I am building it alongside Robin Alexander Holm Pedersen, one of the most versatile engineers I have met, and Markus Leonhard Hansen, who built Gungnir of Norway from nothing into a globally recognized hardware brand. Together, we have the software, AI, and hardware depth to build something that lasts.

A big thank you to Rainfall Ventures, ACME, Skyfall Ventures, Sisyphus Ventures, Antler, Startuplab, Max Samuel, Magne Uppman, Thomas Falck, Tord Moe Laeskogen, BORGET Sebastien, Arthur Madrid, Joachim Haraldsen, Alex Svanevik, Kenneth King, Jeffrey Zirlin, Sandeep Nailwal, Stephen McKeon, Marcus Krylborn, Yat Siu, Michael Arnold, Einar H. Braathen, Sebastian Almnes, Thuc Hoang and Andreas Helbig for backing me to build again, and from Norway no less. It truly means everything.

We are hiring a software architect, senior electronics and cybernetics engineer, and growth operations lead. The people who join now will help define what European defence looks like for the next generation.

Peter是我们的CTO，一个月前他开始实施新构建的AI-First的工作方式，结果是显而易见的，我们现在每天至少有20个PR会合并上线。产品changlog可以非常直观的体现我们团队的效率：https://t.co/pZdAcGQG9Q

没想到他会写文章把这么干货的实践经验分享出来。

我推荐X上所有的founders好好读一下这篇文章，如果你们团队还在以AI-assisted而不是AI-first的方式去运转，很可能会在未来一年以内就逐渐淡出这个市场了。

RIGGED ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA 🇬🇪

I've spent the last 48 hours proving fraud in the Georgian elections.

Let me show you the evidence in 2 charts.

Chart 1: Russian tail...

[Terje Helland @terjehelland]

🇬🇪Georgian Dream tried to scare, beat, threaten, ridicule, and demonize Georgian activists who do not want Georgia to be drawn into the Russian sphere. Georgia is Europe! 🇪🇺

Jeg er så stolt av å ha drevet denne banebrytende web3-løsningen. Ved å implementere digital identitet lommebok har vi redusert ventetiden for arbeidstillatelse fra 9 måneder til 👉3 dager👈

@ChristinGorman @rmz Så synd at vi kaster bort muligheter og skyter oss i foten samtidig. Det er nok mange dyktige folk som hadde lagt skjel og kompetanse i å løse såpass viktige problemstillinger. Jeg får lyst til å gjøre noe med dette, men føler teknisk kompetanse ikke er det som snur på noe her.

[Robin Pedersen @_robertosnap]

@ChristinGorman @rmz 😢

[Robin Pedersen @_robertosnap]

@rmz @ChristinGorman Plz ikke fortell meg at vi både kaster lisens og konsulent penger ut av landet? Men vet nesten ikke hva som er værst… Stakkers utviklere som må drive med dette, men det kan nok ikke sammenlignes med noen som jobber livet av seg for å redde liv med et system som jobber imot🙈🙈

[Robin Pedersen @_robertosnap]

@rmz @ChristinGorman Dette er jo et kriminelt dårlig innkjøp, hvilken etat tok beslutningen og hvilke IT selskap er det som pusher konsulenter på dette?

[Robin Pedersen @_robertosnap]

@jonhoo @HelsingAI Didn't see positions in Norway, is it possible to work from Norway? It is just what i am looking for

[Robin Pedersen @_robertosnap]

@michael_vandi Yes please

Software development estimates are frequently *way* off.

Why? Because many aspects of software development are nearly impossible to estimate.

Here are 9 reasons software development estimates fail:

Putin's next (and final) battle.
(This thread went viral in Russian so I decided to publish an English version as well)

A long thread about what, in my opinion, is Putin's strategy right now, and the last gamble he is making to break Ukraine's resistance.
