@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Nice

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse when are you guys doing the HW tour in Palo Alto??

@shaunmmaguire @marvinliao @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Come on down to Austin 🇺🇸

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Let me know when any of your companies need ~40k sq ft in El Segundo :)

@shaunmmaguire @PhilipJohnston @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Me! lol

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Incredible week. Come to atx, we will do the same

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse We need way more hardware and deep tech.

In the end, atoms > bits, IMO.

@shaunmmaguire @PhilipJohnston @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse @InterluneSpace

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Idea: when not in use by paying customers, Reflect Orbital could reflect sunlight onto the dark area facing Earth of a half-Moon such that a glow could be seen... a dot.

There's a new logo and free promo for the company, then.

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Come by @Astrolab_Space next time and see FLIP, the larget commercial rover ever to go to the moon!

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse Now that's cool - sans the wine for me.

@shaunmmaguire @sequoia @reflectorbital @Nominal_io @Mach_Industries @neros_tech @K2SpaceCo @VardaSpace @GoToImpulse love to see the momentum buildup in HW this year; very, very excited about the inbound of great partners who want to build something great together;

we gotta do more in chips!
