Resolved Motion domestically manufactures actuators for defense & commercial robotics platforms in Upstate New York. Preorder Medium and Large joints for 2027.
America’s manufacturing gap isn’t machining capacity. It’s capital for greenfield product factories. We financed 2,300 plant projects in WWII. Here’s how recovered federal fraud could fund a New Industrial Deal for rural America and its young workers. https://t.co/TxnWOFhJqN
.@civ_metrics ranks the Albany-Schenectady-Troy MSA the No. 1 Top Metro by Capital Investment (October 2026). "@GlobalFoundries picked suburban Malta, NY for its $10B pair of 300mm semiconductor fabrication plants. That launches Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY into first place by a wide margin."

We are doing the insanely fucking hard part. A high-volume greenfield factory that makes multiple classes of robotic actuators. Not drone motors and actuators and airplane parts and screwdrivers. Just actuators. A fuck ton of them.
free alpha from scaling a manufacturing company for a year in America. here’s what I really need:
1) Americas freight company, all in one
2) Americas trade school feeding me skilled high quality trained talent on HIGH PRODUCTION
3) more credits and codex capacity
4) American machines FASTER, not cheaper
5) American mills (aluminum or steel or titanium, all the metals), more of em
6) custom easy packaging solutions (including the basics like crates and pallets)
7) FORWARD DEPLOYED MAINTENANCE
8) a culture of hard work, want to double down on that, it works
if i missed anything lmk
@gbtechnologia SBA doesn't invest in prerevenue startups. SBA 504 and SBA 7a loans are a post-revenue scaling vehicle. You also have to put up personal guarantees.
The typical unicorn founder starts the company at 34.
My team at the Stanford GSB Venture Capital Initiative and I estimated the age at founding of 3,586 founders of 1,540 US VC-backed unicorns.
Three out of every four founders started between 25 and 45. The median age at founding is 34, and the average is almost 36.
Discussed this with a bunch of folks now, but it really does feel like there needs to be some funding mechanism somewhere between VC and PE for many of these new manufacturing companies getting started/built...
