For too long the world of hardware testing has been stuck in the past. Our mission at @Nominal_io since the beginning has been to change this - to give hardware engineers and organizations a new suite of tools to help them build the physical world that moves, powers, and protects…

🎤@nominal_io CEO @CameronLMcCord 🎤Standard Bots CEO @EvanBeard 🎤Cobot VP of technology strat @JonBattles2 join WAIN for a live podcast taping with @haddadmedia on building the future of U.S. defense, robotics, & manufacturing.
In a matter of minutes, @hermeuscorp achieved milestones that take their competitors weeks. First high speed taxi. Validate results in real time. Approve for first flight. Execute checks. First flight. All within minutes, not weeks. Nominal's making it the new standard.…
Achieving our industrial goals doesn't just mean more assembly lines. We need to scale faster. We need to re-think the hardware test stack. Last week, Nomineers @CameronLMcCord and Stephen Slattery took the headline stage at @reindsummit in Detroit to present Nominal's vision…
“With the rise of AI, we face a superintelligent kindergarten teacher that takes away the burden of thinking, the responsibility of choosing, and maybe even the pain of living.” WATCH @mbrendan1 from @cosmos_inst breaks down the fundamental questions that most people are missing…
Every builder's first duty is philosophical: to decide what they should build for. AI is beginning to decide what ideas reach your mind—your next action, your next job, your next relationship. It will tempt you to outsource your thinking in ways you’ve never been tempted before.…
Proud to back my friend and longtime Archer and Uber colleague @AdamWarmoth who is launching @chariotdefense today! Congrats Adam & team on building a critical product for an exciting mission.
Excited to launch @chariotdefense today, live on stage at @reindsummit ! After constantly battling power challenges while fielding advanced sensors and countermeasures at Anduril, and seeing the massive leap in technology happening at Archer and across the eVTOL industry, I…

If you're interested in seeing the future of hardware test, it's making an appearance this week on the Reindustrialize headline stage. @CameronLMcCord and Stephen Slattery are presenting at the Reindustrialize Summit this week in Detroit. You can catch them on the headline stage…
The threats of tomorrow are met by the builders of today. We're in a golden era of defense-focused startups, but emerging tech can only contribute if it's funded – and deployable at scale. This week, our CEO @CameronLMcCord visited The Pentagon, White House, and Capitol Hill to…

for every 10 likes, I will make this statement more analytic philosophy-like: “What can be said at all can be said clearly; and whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
Just like that, some of the largest and most important defense and aerospace companies are starting to notice the benefit of partnering with @Nominal_io! So great to see this collaboration with @GenAtomics_ASI finally get documented and executed! 🚀 Go team!
When most people picture a "drone," they see the General Atomics iconic Predator – trusted, proven, and in service for over 30 years with more than 8 million flight hours logged. We're excited to announce our partnership with @GenAtomics_ASI (GA-ASI). GA-ASI is deploying…
At @Nominal_io we are always seeking to support mission critical engineering and testers that are pushing ever forward into the frontier! We are honored to be partnering with @GeneralAtomics to build on decades of heritage and testing experience and deliver the future of…

Love this story. Two MIT alums (@CameronLMcCord + @jrshoch) who met their first week at @MIT started a deeptech company with a @Harvard alum. Showing fast growth and momentum already. Go team @Nominal_io!
Our co-founders @CameronLMcCord and @jrshoch met their first week at @MIT. After raising a $75M Series B led by @sequoia, they returned to share their story. Since MIT, Cameron and Jason have lived at the intersection of defense, hardware, and software – at the @USNavy,…

$75M in 10 days. No shortcuts, just execution. “From starting formal pitches to signing a term sheet — it was about 10 days. A very intense 10 days.” – @CameronLMcCord , CEO of @Nominal_io Nominal’s $75M Series B led by @sequoia's @Alfred_Lin Lin closed in record time.
Thanks, @traestephens! From Paris, with Love (but definitely not with air conditioning). All systems @Nominal_io
Congrats to former Andurilian @CameronLMcCord and the rest of the team at @Nominal_io on their Series B!
