Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale.
In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors.
Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers.
Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers.
Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market.
We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.
100M Americans don’t have a primary care doctor, so we built @lotus, the first AI doctor powered by real doctors
able to refer, diagnose and prescribe
not generic AI advice, treatment by licensed clinicians
free & available anytime
leading investors just backed us with $41M
Very excited to announce that Astranis is building a new satellite for Oman.
We've signed a 9-figure contract with MB Group —the largest oil and gas conglomerate in Oman— to bring Oman its first dedicated communications satellite.
This partnership was announced today in Oman with the leadership of MB Group and senior government officials from the Oman Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology.
The deal is part of an overall $200 million investment by MB Group in sovereign connectivity, advancing the Vision 2040 program by the Oman government. This satellite will go up on our Block 3 launch later this year, going from contract to operations in months, not years.
Sovereign connectivity is no longer optional. Countries need private, secure networks to know their data is secure and in the right hands.
Astranis builds dedicated satellites that make this possible, giving our customer full control over payload configuration, coverage, and network operations.
We are the only company that gives our customers a standalone, dedicated network that spans their geography of choice and delivers enterprise-grade security, customizability, and operational visibility of the network and data traffic.
This type of infrastructure is impossible to replicate with shared networks or terrestrial links alone. And that's why countries like Oman and Taiwan are choosing Astranis.
We built Astranis on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to growth. It's an honor to partner with MB Group and Oman, and we look forward to supporting the people of Oman and their digital future for many years to come.
For most of my life, I assumed technology only moved in one direction: Faster, better, cheaper.
Progress felt inevitable.
But if you look at the industry that once embodied American ambition, that's not happening.
Over the past 50 years, our ability to build large construction projects has not just stagnated, it has eroded. We built faster, better, and cheaper in the 1960s than we do today. What a shame.
This is happening at the exact moment we need to build more than ever. More energy to win the AI race, more critical minerals to secure our supply chain, and more advanced manufacturing to reindustrialize.
In the last decade, China built an order of magnitude more energy infrastructure than the US. This is not how we win.
That is why we’re building Unlimited.
We are an AI-native, vertically integrated construction company. We’ve raised a $12M seed round co-led by @a16z (@KTmBoyle) and CIV (Abhijoy Mitra) to redefine how humanity builds. We’re going to automate construction end to end and ensure a future of radical physical abundance. A world where cities rise at the push of a button.
Today we are designing and building $100M+ data centers, power plants, and mining facilities. Our AI platform compresses engineering timelines from months to days and delivers optimized designs that simply are not achievable through manual effort.
The thing I am most proud of is the team we are building. A small, hyper talented group of multidisciplinary builders who work with intensity, care about craft, and genuinely give a shit.
If you want to tackle problems that reshape the physical world and define the new playbook for how civilization builds in the decades ahead, reach out. We are hiring across mechanical, electrical, civil/structural, simulation, and software.
We started the company earlier this year, raised money, built out the core technology and team, and kicked off our first real projects. And we’ve done it all under the radar until today. Excited to continue building the team that will build the future of our physical world.
It's time to build. @unltdindustries
The interface of the future is human.
We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker.
And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface.
PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us.
We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends.
PALs:
- Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text.
- Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you.
- Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human.
- Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time.
- Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you.
Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now.
Charlie’s story brings this idea to life.
We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at https://t.co/Kv2ep94noE

Thanks @agarfinks for the write up.
while building my first company we got a *very good* acquisition offer early on. one of my investors tried very hard to convince me to take it.
i was young, i figured if you get an offer like this early, you’ll see more later. was also just generally high ego + conviction + wasn’t confident about the idea of being an employee. we never got another offer that good. I had tunnel vision on what I wanted to build. truthfully i still have this tunnel vision! but after many stumbles i’ve learned to be a little more confident in it - the weakness & strength of it
what’s interesting is out of all of our investors; this same investor who tried (very hard) to convince me to sell the company & was almost certainly right is one of the few who invested in my second company right out of the gate.
he was a minority stakeholder but spent many hours on the phone with me walking through my decisions at every turn. he was a former exited founder himself and over many years he saw the mistakes i was making in real time and listened intently - and let me make them. he didn’t get frustrated or lose faith; he gave strong advice but just let me do my thing and learn the hard way. when i didn’t listen to him he didn’t write me off, he just accepted my fallibility and potential for growth.
i’ve learned a lot about real leadership, friendship, investment and even fatherhood from @mlmilleratmit. one of the good ones & 10/10 recommend.
Over the past few months at @dedaluslabs, we’ve noticed how many talented founders from around the world are being held back by one thing: location.
There is no better place in the world to build an AI startup than San Francisco. SF is home to all the major AI labs, top talent, world-class investors, and it is where the future is being built every day. That’s why, this December, we��re giving builders everywhere a chance to break in.
We are taking over @theresidency and launching Break In—a month-long hacker house program in the heart of San Francisco.
If you’re not from SF, and you’re building an AI startup, this is your chance to join us. Build your startup on top of Dedalus’ Agents SDK or MCP deployment infrastructure and we’ll cover your stay (housing, lunch, and co-working space).
As a member of Break In, you’ll get access to all the best parts of SF. You’ll be introduced to top founders, mentors, and investors. You’ll get to skip the line at the biggest tech events. Plus, you’ll receive free API credits and expanded access to the best-in-class AI stack through our partner network of top AI infrastructure companies.
Applications open October 27th and close November 10th. We will be accepting applications on a rolling basis. Final acceptances will go out November 14th to ensure international founders have enough time to secure visas.
Ready to break in? Follow us on Twitter/X for more updates and visit the link in the comments to apply on October 27th!
