Building fancy buoys @ Andrenam http://andrenam.com
Excited to announce @AndrenaM just raised $10M to build the future of maritime intelligence! We're turning the ocean into an intelligent sensing network with AI-powered buoys that can detect, classify, and track all maritime traffic in real-time from surface to seabed. Huge…
Sept ‘23: Cold email received July ‘24: Attend demo on an experimental Navy boat in Maryland June ‘25: A massively oversubscribed seed raised in under 36 hours… The best teams take shots and move FAST! Congrats @mateocernosek @alex__chu__ and team @_Andrenam_!
I'm excited to announce our $10M fundraise! Currently in D.C. meeting with some awesome folks on the Hill and reflecting on how far we've come. Just a year ago, @alex__chu__ and I were bootstrapping our first prototype in a garage. Now, we're announcing our $10M fundraise led…

Plot twist: We're throwing a party and the buoys are invited August 14th - Open House at @_Andrenam_ HQ: • Meet the team that's building the central nervous system for maritime autonomy • See V2 buoys that actually look professional • Free food (because engineers work better…
For friends old and new, here’s a snapshot that explains my passion for building technology that matters. I grew up in Pasadena, the son of immigrants (my dad is from Brazil, with Chinese ancestry, and my mom is from Cuba). Seeing them work extremely hard to provide for my…
FOR SALE: V1 Tactical Pool Noodles V2 is in staging— getting ready for prod
We spoke with @mateocernosek (CEO @_Andrenam_) about tackling drug smuggling. "The ocean is the new frontier for drug and human smuggling. They've been getting more sophisticated." "Autonomous narco subs are a real threat." "Placing systems around critical choke points is…
Tune in at 1:30 PT to talk more about Andrenam, with @tbpn !
Morning. Here are our guest call-ins today: – @dwarkesh_sp (Dwarkesh Podcast) – @ADoricko (Rainmaker Technology Corporation) – @shishirmehrotra & @rahulvohra (Grammarly/Superhuman) – @ankurnagpal (Carry) – @mateocernosek (Andrenam) – @prestonholland6 (Prestige Aircraft Finance)…
Happy 4th! 🇺🇸 It's the land of the free, the home of the brave, and where engineers can bootstrap from garage to DoD contracts.
Our master plan of starting a maritime defense tech company just to buy a boat finally paid off.
In space, you deal with physics. In the ocean, you deal with physics AND things with teeth.
Defense tech expectations vs reality… Expectation: Coordinating fleets of autonomous vessels. Reality: Dolphin is not a threat.
From a bootstrapped “tactical pool noodle” prototype less than a year ago, to a $10M seed closed in 36 hours—couldn’t be prouder of @_Andrenam_ and founders @mateocernosek + @alex__chu__. Excited to see their team's breakthroughs in AI-powered passive acoustics turn the ocean…
We just raised $10M to build the future of maritime intelligence. This funding accelerates our mission to deliver persistent maritime domain awareness wherever it's needed most. From protecting critical infrastructure to enhancing naval operations, we're solving the ocean's…
Defense contractors: “This system is fully autonomous!” The system: 7 engineers 4 phone calls A blood sacrifice
