“Nobody wants to work off some random freeway exit in Texas” cool story. Meanwhile, in El Paso TX: 35k+ employed in manufacturing ecosystem (and growing) $100M UTEP Aerospace & Mfg Center $40M federal investments into a 250 acre advanced mfg campus $15M NSF grant to grow…
"Everyone keeps talking about reindustrializing the country, but nobody's talking about the reality that nobody wants to work off some random freeway exit in the middle of Texas." @jansramek (Founder & CEO @CAForever) on how he’s thinking about building a new kind of…
Love seeing materials suppliers move from emails to instant quoting + order placement. However, there’s a catch: If you’re AS9100D certified manufacturer, you must flow down Supplier Quality Requirements (SQRs) with every PO. Manufacturers that ignore the flow down of SQRs…
Hadrian's focus on labeled data for automation is game-changing, makes me think of Google's data moat powered search dominance. And… History has shown us this playbook before: Samsung didn’t compete with Android; it integrated and became the #1 phone brand. WhatsApp didn’t…
Very few understand this part of our mid term strategy!
Two years ago, this was my first CNC machine. Broken. Rusted. Door hanging off. Hopeless to most. But it was all we could afford and I was dead serious about building a manufacturing company. Today? That same machine is fully rebuilt, running 24/7, and producing hundreds of…
This is absolutely wonderful news for U.S. manufacturing. But to every other machine shop, SMB, and mid-size manufacturer: If you don’t adapt your speed and sharpen your positioning, Hadrian’s capital will eat the oxygen in the room. Now’s the time to rethink and question your…
Hadrian is announcing a $260m Series C lead by @foundersfund + @Lux_Capital + @MorganStanley for (Factory Expansion financing). We're also welcoming new investors @altimeter, @1789Capital + investments from existing investors @a16z, @constructcap, @137ventures and many others.…
100%. I’m glad we have so many people passionate about reindustrializing America. Voicing without action is empty, and action without voicing is invisible. For those of us missing the summit because we’re in the trenches building, let’s keep pushing. But we need both voices and…
This resonates. Missing @reindsummit because we're heads-down building the factory and closing deals. The summit brings together the vision and capital that fuel American industry. We're grateful to be on the ground turning that into reality. Both are equally important.
Now that we’ve officially earned our AS9100D certification, it’s time for the next goal: building out a world-class post-processing division. Everyone says it’s “too regulated,” “too hard,” “too risky.” But if I had listened to that kind of talk back in middle school, a newly…
BIG NEWS 🚀 Precision Manufacturing just passed its AS9100D audit! Less than two years ago, my dad and I embarked on this ambitious journey as a small business, self-funded startup in El Paso, Texas. We started humbly, buying two broken 30-year-old CNC machines, with my brother,…
Been running on red bulls (need to seriously cut back) all year but on the positive side: T-Minus 30ish hours for our AS9100D stage 2 audit.
Less than 5% of my MBA classmates at Berkeley are building manufacturing companies focusing on hardware. Another 5% focus on software for manufacturing. Zero of my professors have talked about manufacturing as an entrepreneurship path. Zero visiting VC’s fund hardware…
100% spot on. When seeking capital to scale my manufacturing business, I was repeatedly referred to the SBA Made in America initiative — a program meant to support businesses like mine. But the consistent message? “Stronger positive cash flow is required.” The reality is:…
> be new manufacturing startup > specialized product, high demand, good margins > need $ to scale > bank says need "3 years positive EBITDA" > some kid with "ai agents" raises $20M Series A
Biggest pain point today while sourcing Aluminum 6061-T6: "Can you shoot it over email?; Can you submit it on the quote form?; Price will be ready in 24 hours" Ahhhh why can't someone just give me a price on the spot!!! My suspicion is that all of these companies are…
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸 Forever grateful for this incredible country and the opportunities it has given my family and me. From growing up low-income in El Paso to attending Berkeley and now being a successful entrepreneur—I’m living proof that no matter your financial…
This past semester, I took two transformative classes at Berkeley Haas: Entrepreneurship and Startup Lab. Surprisingly, both classes, and nearly every visiting VC dismissed manufacturing startups and hardware ventures as 'too capital intensive' or 'not scalable enough.' Fast…
Someone out there is grinding late nights and rising before sunrise. Building their dreams piece by piece.
This business isn’t just mental, it’s physical. Just lifted our final shipment of the day with my dad: 3 boxes, 450 lbs each. If I wanna build this company, I gotta be strong enough to carry it. Literally. 💪🏼
Got here at 4:30am thinking this time I’d for sure beat dad - nope, lol.
