@cc33_rl @HoffmanTactical Its legal to threaten someone with legal proceedings whether valid or not. The point is many people won't want to come up with the funds required to defend an invalid lawsuit. Everyone involved is aware the suit is invalid.

@DaleStarkA10 People that love aviation always seem to be pretty solid 🙂

Super happy with the 3rd iteration of the Electron Transport Airplane, and we will move to production.

@guilleflorvs Appreciate investors with this kind of courage/conviction.

[Kavin Gustafson @Think_Flight]

@BerbarianWizard Cool guys. One is more fun, one is more interesting.

@matt_gray_ Sorry, there are too many smart people out there grinding for you to be successful without also grinding. If actions are all that matter, and those that grind simply put in more effective actions.... good luck not grinding.

I did the initial design and prototyping of the primary Altius competitor, the Atlas. It was designed specifically to bypass what I perceived as the weakness of the Altius which is the incredible aspect ratio coupled with a folding mechanism midspan. I have zero firsthand knowledge of whether or not this is a weak point in the Anduril Altius in reality, but I suspected it would be rather fatal to the design in many operational scenarios. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone a completely different direction with the Atlas, which I suspect is far more viable operationally. Tbd (obviously I have a bias). But the failures pointed out in the hit piece didn't surprise me while I simultaneously hope nothing but the best for Andurils products. My opinions are my own and unverified. (the usefulness of the Roadrunner is also sus, while the cool factor is not)

@tailopez Yes

@jonathanbrnd Maybe they do but the customers they get, lose. You need both.

@joshcrnls Took about two weeks of fundraising to start coming to this realization.

@guilleflorvs Hardware founder here who would love to work with a great angel investor.

[Kavin Gustafson @Think_Flight]

@johnrushx Essentially what I do already.

The commentors assumed they didn't get that poor of a result. No one would do this if that was the average 'successful' exit. I know a few founders that kept 30-40% of a $1B exit or existing valuation. That is more the margin everyone is swinging for. Very few engineers clear $800k/yr, and a lot of those get let go and never get that salary again. Your comparing a poor exit vs excellent engineer scenario to make your point. Not only that, the entrepreneur can take another shot with a lot more experience. Where does the $800k/yr engineer go from there? Just about maxed out.

@mashadrokova Agreed, won't follow a non-tech lead in a tech company again. Tech CEOs only.
