Today, I’m excited to launch the Advanced Manufacturing Company of America. We've raised $76M in initial funding from Caffeinated Capital, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, a16z, and others. The best time to build this business is right now, but the real work began decades ago.

With rare exception, ideas really are trivial compared to execution. For example, the idea of going to the Moon is simple, but ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.

It’s rare to announce a new hire and acquisition in one go, but today is extra special. Meet Doug Johnson. Doug has been making parts for fighter jets from scratch since 1992. He and his wife now join the @AmcaInc team, bringing with them the company they built over decades.

Over the past few months, I’ve been amazed by the stories behind American manufacturing—people who took real risks to build what the country needed. Their lives are defined by ingenuity, immeasurable sacrifice, and even love. They’re at risk of being forgotten.

American manufacturing is built on small companies with big personalities. This is the story of Candy Suits, a Beverly Hills model and Icelandic weather presenter turned defense CEO. She’s been manufacturing cockpit panels for fighter jets since the 1980s.

I dont know what everyone is hooting and hollering about. @Gemini3 is telling me I should throw the Queen of Clubs in my Spades game. DOH! Forget the lack of reasoning capabilities, Gemini isnt even recognizing the cards in my hand. @OpenAI @Google @GoogleDeepMind @xai

I forgot to mention something important: we're hiring. If you have an engineering background and want to run a factory or design new aerospace products, my DMs are open. We are not solving easy problems, but you are a part of the future at Amca.

to this day, delian is the best seed investor i've met in "hard tech". early stage VC (done right) is very hard. you need to both believe in people and have the right amount of skepticism to make the best decisions. delian does this better than anyone i've seen. work with him
For a few years, Jai was one of the investors I collaborated with the most Credit to him, he saw how broken our country's aero supply chain is broken, so he hung up his investor hat and went to go fix it We're excited to back him with $76m to get going fast, learn more here:

Started and ended this smiling ear to ear, but definitely had to wipe my eyes inbetween. Like any good story it’s about the people, and people like Wally, Terry, Dianne, and @Jai__Malik are why we’re gonna be ok. Rooting for @AmcaInc

Amca is augmenting the incredible legacy of American aerospace and defense by acquiring and developing critical products that will power the next 50 years of the sector. I met Jai over four years ago and was fortunate enough to co-invest with him (and really, learn from him)
