I'm excited to announce that @AmcaInc has raised a $300M Series B at a >$1B valuation, led by @CaffeinatedCap with major support from @LightspeedVP, @a16z, @Lux_Capital, and others.

We're on a mission to reconstitute a supply chain that has too often put profit over country.

@ChuysRestaurant Chuys established itself as my favorite restaurant at 7 y/o. I made a friend later on in 7th grade who ended up being the son of the founder (still a close friend). I now always tell the waiter when I get Chuys with him that his dad is the founder (he’s pretty shy so he hates it)

Welcome Doug!! (And of course Frank)

[Jai Malik @jaimalik]

It’s rare to announce a new hire and acquisition in one go, but today is extra special.

Meet Doug Johnson. Doug has been making parts for fighter jets from scratch since 1992. He and his wife now join the @AmcaInc team, bringing with them the company they built over decades.

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.

While Hulkmania is a national treasure, I hate seeing our flag so sad all the time. Half mast for 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Veterans Day, and a president dying. Rest of the time, let it 🇺🇸

[Philip Chidester @bfasttaco]

The flag is never full mast anymore. In the last 14 days there have been 9 half mast alerts 🧵

[Philip Chidester @bfasttaco]

I started wondering why flags are always at half mast… apparently it’s because any state can declare a half mast day. For context: Florida declared a half mast for Hulk Hogan’s passing on August 1st.

Just a little something to take the edge off

@ChuysRestaurant I used to go to Chuys all the time as a kid and got the stacked enchiladas and no creamy. I’ll never forget when someone ordered the creamy. And then I tried the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom enchiladas and my life changed forever.

Massive double take realizing the liver king and the dude that’s trying to live forever are both Brian Johnson.

@ChuysRestaurant Not even a debate: creamy all the way

American manufacturing is built on small companies with big personalities.

This is the story of Candy Suits, a Beverly Hills model and Icelandic weather presenter turned defense CEO. She’s been manufacturing cockpit panels for fighter jets since the 1980s.
