8VC(@8vc):"What this enables is the return of American shipbuilding... We're going to create 10,000 jobs... and Port Alpha is going to be the most advanced, most efficient, highest throughput shipyard, not just in the country but really in the world." @Saronic CEO @MavrookasD on the significance of today's announcement. We launched Saronic out of 8VC Build in the fall of '22 with a small, incredibly talented team united around a bold idea: America could rebuild its shipbuilding capacity. Only four years later, they're building the ships and shipyards to restore American maritime strength. We are incredibly proud of this team. They're just getting started.
