We are honored to lead @Mach_Industries $300M Series C alongside @RibbitCapital with participation from @khoslaventures, @bedrock, @sequoia, @winklevosscap, and @1517.
Mach is built strategically for the new era of modern defense. A vertically integrated, autonomy-defined defense manufacturer designed to produce, iterate, and deploy low cost autonomous systems at scale.
As global security demands shift from high-cost platforms to mass-producible systems, Mach is inflecting into technical maturity and production scale at a critical moment.
Our time on the ground with @ethanrthornton and the Mach team proved their dedication and talent. Their mission to defend free societies is based on core values, and has driven exceptional breakthroughs.
Proud to be leading their Series C at @InfiniteXYZ

Mach is building systems designed for real-world deployment, leading the next era of American defense.
Deeply thankful to everyone who helped make this milestone possible, and to @InfiniteXYZ and @RibbitCapital for their partnership.
Excited for what comes next.
.@SecScottBessent: "A nation that cannot manufacture, mine, ship, or refine its needs gradually cedes its strength and sovereignty to others. That is a dangerous dependency for any country; it is an unacceptable one for the United States of America."
Exclusive: Drone startup Mach Industries acquired rocket-maker Exquadrum for $50 million in cash and equity, reflecting a wave of change in the defense sector as the Pentagon and venture-capital firms warm to startups. https://t.co/VTiHlQVLZ3
The most important industries all come back to one core thing: materials science discovery.
And the experimental data needed to move them forward is immensely hard to capture. With AI, new possibilities emerge.
Hamming's talk is so important that I reproduced it on my site. It's one of the only things on my site written by someone else.

Today we’re announcing our $300M+ Series C raise, accelerating our path to certification and scaling our universal operating system for flight across helicopters and airplanes. This round was led by Autopilot Ventures (@HQAutopilot) and returning investor Fidelity Management & Research Company, with participation from new and returning investors ArrowMark Partners, Atreides Management LP (@Atreidesmgmt), @BAMelevate, @BaronCapital Group, Inc., Durable Capital Partners, Positive Sum, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), RCM Private Markets Fund managed by Rokos Capital Management (US) LP, Woodline Partners, among others.
Surpassing $1B in valuation as a privately-held company, is a big milestone for us and a history-making moment for the industry. To date, we’re the only aviation technology company to reach this milestone while maintaining our independence and offering a technology for dual-use in defense and civilian markets. We’re especially proud of what this capital unlocks for safe, simple flight for everyone.

@DarrigoMelanie They’re related Melanie… The oil sales fund a regime that allows the drug cartels to operate.
In geopolitics, guaranteed you’re misreading it when you start with always/never
@Neurodjb@Geiger_Capital So many said the same up to 1776
It only takes a few visionaries and believers to catalyze a movement. They will be the ones who define history.
The pessimists on the sidelines are inevitably forgotten. Choose wisely.
