Announcing @regentcraft's $240M Series B to bring our Seaglider manufacturing facility online and deliver them to our military and commercial customers. Lets go!! Could not have asked for better co-leads between Mare Liberum (@lcselby) and AE Ventures, bringing vast experience and connectivity across maritime and aerospace. Its not easy building in either of these sectors, so their backing is amazing validation for the business. So excited to be partnering with @ereborbank on the financing. @PalmerLuckey and the team are absolutely putting their money where their mouth is on backing the next generation of American industry and defense technologies. Access to this $120M in debt unlocks significant manufacturing purchases across tooling and equipment to stay on track for first Seagliders out of the factory by end of next year. We have a quarter-million feet of factory floor to fill. This is a major growth moment for REGENT. To date, we've largely been focused on prototyping. Seagliders are the first new mode of transportation since the helicopter, and its taken a lot of engineering and test to get here. Now we are focused to getting Seagliders into the hands of our customers, whether it is contested logistics and MEDEVAC missions in the Indo-Pacific, or commuter service to New York or Miami. The growth of the order book over the past year has been amazing. It's a huge moment for us, but we're keeping our heads down and working. We are on the eve of flying our full-scale, human-safe Viceroy Seaglider prototype. Investors in our Series B got deeply involved in our technology development and testing campaigns and gained conviction in REGENT to unlock this fundraise even before Viceroy has flown. I must say, it's awesome to see this team - even while celebrating this Series B - remain so locked in on flight. Thank you to our existing investors who doubled down on us like @_edgegroup / SDF, @GiantStepVC, @LockheedMartin, @caffeinatedcap/@tonsing, @JAL_Official_jp, @mcuban, @foundersfund/@zebulgar, East X, and @Future_Planet. And excited for all the new support with @DCVC, iGrow, @BalnordVC, @VanderbiltU, and Inceptional. Massive day for REGENT. Next steps: flight, production, deliveries!

"We are not going to sit back, watch our rival get to the moon ahead of us and say, well, at least we held the requirements." NASA Administrator @rookisaacman on what NASA is doing differently: "We are trying to create a culture based on extreme competence, ownership, and urgency. The American people have been sufficiently patient, waiting for the headlines that only NASA can create. Success and failure in terms of returning to the moon is measured in months and not years." "We're telling industry, look, we've got to deliver. Tell us what you need. We'll challenge requirements. We'll delete policies and regulations that don't add value. Maybe it's decades old." "But if we come up short, we all will have an awful lot to answer for." The Hill & Valley Forum 2026 @HillValleyForum @NASA

We bought Now we're building the best one. Our customers buy quadrillions of tokens every month through Ramp, and we've run our own AI on this router for 3 years to keep costs down. Today it's yours at

Excited for Ramp’s launch of It says a lot about their conviction in Router that they’re launching it as an independent brand Another step to being a multi-product generational company Ramp saves you time + money Router saves you time + money on AI

Monitor and control your AI spend on every provider on Our early users save 40% on average. Every week, the price-intelligence-latency frontier shifts, and we expect this trend to continue. Tradeoffs between latency, reasoning, cost, service tier, open source and closed source models are shifting constantly. Router sends every request to the model that's actually best for the task and helps you control what tokens you buy. We benchmark it against real work: ~40% lower cost for the same outputs.

More Americans believe we’ll colonize the moon before we fix K-12 education. This is a policy problem. We have been building a solution that’s already trusted by many of the Fortune 500 as well as 1/3 of federal and state elected officials in the United States. Organizations are more impacted by policy than by financial markets. Yet financial markets have been real-time for decades, and policy markets are still nearly impossible to follow. @StateAffairsUS has raised over $70M from @rabois, @khoslaventures, @foundersfund and others to fix that. We are creating the world’s first real-time knowledge graph for policy and regulatory markets. This platform is foundationally built on non-partisan journalism and the collection of on-the-ground data that isn’t digitally accessible. In the future, we believe every executive will watch policy markets the way they watch financial markets. Instead of reacting to regulation, they’ll navigate it proactively. Policy should iterate at the speed of our most innovative industries.

This is a developing story... Donald Trump has announced that capital gains tax will potentially now be net of inflation Rumor is the major institutional LPs have gathered into a PAC... To request Trump include legislation to make GP carry + fees net of inflation as well...

The best part about building spacecraft that actually work Is that your cover slide is a photo from real re-entry footage Rather than just a render Proud of our team for making it look easy to bring drugs from Space to Earth at Mach 25

2026 is the year of the GOATs being back First it was TravisK Now it's Mr JD Ross with his new company, WithCoverage Congrats on the financing sir, and for anyone managing a complex business, esp in manufacturing w/ risks that need to be insured... Highly recommend you check him out:

Still one of the clearest explanations of why America needs companies like Hadrian. Chris Power laying out the welder shortage math and the automation solution at @HillValleyForum Congrats on the massive Series D today - this is how you reindustrialize! @2112Power @HadrianInc

Hadrian is announcing our $1.37B Series D - watch below for a comprehensive update on our plans to reinvest billions to meet generational demand for Factories-as-a-service & Opus, our physical AI platform for factory autonomy — as well as full stack munitions production, advanced foundries, international expansion, drone dominance, the Organic Industrial Base, and most importantly, increase Equity stakes for our workforce in LA, Alabama and Arizona. Thank you to our team and investors for enabling us to accelerate our mission to reshore, rescale and upgrade the Defense Industrial Base. The Factory is the Product.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Founders Fund Partner Delian Asparouhov spotted leaving the firm’s San Francisco office on a phone call after Hadrian’s $1.37B Series D announcement. Sources speculate that he’ll soon be retelling the story of leading the seed round on a podcast.

Congrat @2112Power and @HadrianInc team. Reindustrializing America is one of the most important problems someone can work on today and no better place than Hadrian. Also — thank you @zebulgar for the original introduction and the opportunity to colead the seed with you.

6 yrs ago I went on a walk w/ @2112Power We talked about the end of history that was coming down the pipe & how we needed to build companies to reindustrialize America to be ready 6 months later we led the Hadrian seed @ $17m Excited to announce they just raised $1.4b @ $7.9b

In 2012, Peter Thiel mocked Google for sitting on $30B of cash: more bank than tech company, with no idea how to invest it Last quarter Google spent $45b on capex vs $39b operating cashflow God bless AI for finally forcing Big Tech to bet money on the future & actually innovate

Mikael Dolsten was the CSO/President of Pfizer for 16 years where he oversaw the approval of 36 medicines Excited to announce he's just joined Varda's board One more step towards Varda being a pharma company, that just happens to use microgravity We'll make #37# a space drug!!

Mikael Dolsten has joined Varda's Board of Directors. ☄️ Mikael spent 16 years as Chief Scientific Officer and President of Pfizer R&D — overseeing 36+ medicine and vaccine approvals and advancing 150+ drug candidates into clinical studies. As we bring the first space-made medicines to market, his experience leading drug discovery at the highest level is invaluable.
