Texas brainwashing with cowboy futurism ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿฆพ Photos by @yunta_tsai & @Keller
Austin brainwashing with rental market data. A permission to build creates more housing. More supply means more competition for renters. More competition means lower prices. Lower prices mean more people can come live & build. Source: @elise_ai and @a16z teapaw.org/Jason_A_Scharf/status/โ€ฆ

Today, weโ€™re announcing that weโ€™ve raised $115 million in funding, including a $100M Series A led by @kleinerperkins. America has lost the ability to build, and weโ€™re here to restore it. My co-founder, @NoahMcGuinn, and I left our jobs at @SpaceX , where we worked on programs including Starship, Starshield, and @Starlink, to build a company that will solve constructionโ€™s greatest challenges. Infrastructure is the foundation of civilization, and construction is the precursor to innovation. If America wants to build a brighter future for the next generation, we have to make it faster, cheaper, and safer to build. Thatโ€™s where @TerraFirma_Inc comes in. Weโ€™re a new type of company, a robotic construction company that builds the full technology stack needed to deliver an order-of-magnitude improvement in one of the worldโ€™s oldest, largest, most important, but least efficient industries. We are building technology that expands whatโ€™s possible in construction on Earth, and then we'll use that same technology to build megastructures and colonies on the Moon and Mars. Weโ€™ve made tremendous progress over the past year, growing the company more than 10x in the last 12 months. We are performing projects across the world. By the end of October 2026, we are on track to operate 3 of the top 3 largest robotic construction fleets in the world, each on a different continent, bringing unprecedented speed, scale, and efficiency to some of the worldโ€™s most complex critical infrastructure projects. This funding will allow us to step on the gas and scale our manufacturing, software, operations, and construction deployments, including work on massive commercial and government contracts. Weโ€™re building the future of construction right here in Austin, Texas, and scaling it globally. If you want to be part of the team changing the world, now and on Mars, join us. Our Series A was led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Glade Brook Capital Partners, BANNER VC, Saga Ventures, Trust Ventures, Definition, PEAK6, Magnetar Capital, and Ravelin Capital. Huge thanks to all of our angel investors, friends, and family who have helped and supported us throughout this journey. Apply here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/TerraFirma-โ€ฆ

Extremely excited to share this one. We recently signed a 40 MW deal with @austinenergy to deploy our distributed storage technology here in Austin. More to come in the coming weeks on our offering for homeowners in Austin. Very proud to partner with our hometown utility.
Austin Energy and @BasePowerCo have entered into an agreement to deploy 40 MW of residential battery storage across the utilityโ€™s service territory. Get more details: austinenergy.com/about/news/โ€ฆ

โ€œThe next wave of innovation will not be defined by how quickly we can write code. It will be defined by how effectively we can build, deploy, and scale physical solutions in the real world.โ€ Great read, Jamie!

Huge! Nice work @StevenSimoni @allencontrol ๐Ÿš€
It costs the U.S. millions of dollars to intercept Iranโ€™s small, fast-moving drones. But a Texas-based defense robotics company says it has developed a cheaper solution, one that could take down a drone for as little as 10 bucks.

Drones are changing war and theyโ€™re no longer just a battlefield problem. Tech This Out... An Austin company built an AI gun turret that can find, track and shoot down drones in seconds. They call it โ€œBullfrog.โ€ You have to see what it does. @allencontrol

I pitched Max for me to dress as James Bond for this one, but he insisted on real spy stuff. @arenamag is the inspiring, pro-America magazine we need.

Yes. Unprecedented.
I configured my OpenClaw bot to fetch the most recent drilling permits from the Texas Railroad Commission. It grabs the permits, parses the data, maps them over satellite imagery, and sends them over to me via Telegram. The opportunities for AI + GIS in oil and gas are massive.
