    The false anthrax alert at the Pentagon is a brutal reminder that the threat is real and our detection of it is still operationally immature. What does that tell our adversaries?

    Access was built for the harshest environments we could think of. Ocean, off-grid, remote, rough conditions. If you have an extreme use case, send it our way!

    The future of energy moves fast. The systems built to support it don't – so, we changed the system. Drop shipped. Ready immediately. Power where you need it, when you need it. Reliable energy for years, not days. Building our factory right now. Oak Ridge – we're coming for

    When I first met Phil he said that if I told anyone what Heaviside was doing he would kill me. Fortunately I don't have to worry about that anymore. Phil and Heaviside have an absurd pace of execution. You will be hearing even more about them soon.

    We were Heaviside's 1st check 2yrs ago & wanted to run an experiment of sorts... If no one knew about the co could they develop & deploy battlefield technology faster without distractions? Until last week even our LPs only knew it as "redacted". The answer was a resounding "yes"

    At @cantos nearly all the companies we back use automation and robotics. They just don't lead with it. It's only a robot until it works. Then it's just a machine

    Building in the physical world is really hard, and frankly, not many people understand what it takes. We need new taxonomies, frameworks, and playbooks for building in hardware. You can’t pivot your way to greatness here. You might be able to move fast and break things (though

    Some news: Today we're launching the State of Adventure site When we released the inaugural 286 slide report last year, we didn't really detail why we were doing this. Every tech era has new knowledge frontiers. Hardware demands a new way of building. SOA is our answer to that
