    250 years ago, a small group built something the world had never seen: America. 🇺🇸 That spirit never died. In 2002, @elonmusk moved into a warehouse in El Segundo and proved Americans could still build the impossible. A generation of companies was born from that building. They're still being built here today. If you're building something your family and your country will be proud of, come to the Gundo and build what you need to. Apply for the Fall Cohort below. Deadline July 17th. Featuring @jordannoone and @jordan__black

    RT @jakobdiepen: Ethylene is the most-produced organic chemical on Earth. It’s the building block for nearly every plastic: packaging, pipe, wire insulation, car parts, medical devices. @DiscipulusVent Cohort founder @GarrowGeer & the Indigo Ethylene team are replacing steam crackers to make ethylene products 50% cheaper, to REINDUSTRIALIZE 🇺🇸

    RT @jakobdiepen: 🚨 LIVE from DAY TWO of the @DiscipulusVent Cohort in Gundo. How do you sell tech to legacy industries? We asked @tfeldmann, CEO & Founder of @DurinMining. His answer: Show your work. Your first prototype won't be perfect. What matters is showing customers the progress, data, and trajectory. “Slope is everything.”

    RT @jakobdiepen: 🚨 LIVE from DAY TWO of the @DiscipulusVent Cohort in Gundo. @jimbelosic, Founder & CEO of @sendcutsend, on the importance of early stage hardtech founders getting hardware into the real world. A thesis is great. A plan is great. But nothing beats having something you can hold in your hands. “Make it exist, then make it good.”

    RT @jakobdiepen: Fuels, chemicals, and plastics are a $6T market that powers EVERY car, plane, factory, and product in modern reality. Today, they come from oil refineries, or from corn ethanol plants that burn through HALF of America's corn supply. @DiscipulusVent founder @jared_western & the Western Chemicals team are building biochemical refineries that turn wastewater into the world's cheapest fuels to REINDUSTRIALIZE America🇺🇸
