We’re working as fast as possible to fix this
DJI is mass rolling out 1280 x 1024 thermal imaging for its Mavic-sized drones while American 640 x 480 imagers are on 6+ mo lead times This should be a MASSIVE wake up call to the Western industrial base, fire alarms should be ringing.

The matrix is maybe the most important movie of this decade, and it was made in the 90s.

Just closed our first referral customer. Engineer at an interceptor company asked one of our current drone customers where they got their electronics. Intro made, and deal closed in 1 call. Momentum compounds!

Physical AI is inevitable. But what happens when it succeeds? A massive overhaul in the supply chain to support its scale. We’ve already seen these market dynamics in the 20th century with automakers + tier 1 suppliers. That will happen for robotics in the 21st century.

Had a call with VC, thought it went fine. Less than an hour after the call they booked travel to meet us in person. Guess it went rather good 😅

Someone had to say it.
Oxide co-founder @bcantrill believes every VC wants to be contrarian, but most get cold feet when an actual contrarian bet is staring them in the face. "Everybody loves contrarian. But no one actually wants a zero."

Thank you to the folks DMing me, many asking if we’re already shipping? Yes! And while i don’t think LOIs are as cool as POs… have over $5m in LOIs too. We are ramping as fast as possible to reduce lead times.

Another PO signed today. That’s $200k revenue in 8 weeks. Our electronics are now in drones, interceptors, and robots. Maybe most proud of all is we had our first repeat customer. Hardware is hard, but building a good product and having happy customers makes it all worth it.

Just found out both our new engineers drive motorcycles as their main vehicle. Bullish.
