Nox Metals exists so America can build 100x more factories and technologically abundant industrial capacity in the West. We are announcing our $11.5M Seed round led by Hyperion, with participation from Palmer Luckey, Y Combinator, Jared Friedman, RoboStrategy, Operator Collective, DTX, Alumni Ventures, and others. Over the past few decades, America has neglected domestic production. We lost our dominating ability to build in the world of atoms while jobs on the factory floor plummeted. It's time to build for America again. As our grandparents once did. Since launching production only 7 months ago, we have shipped metal to hundreds of American factories. Countless truckloads to America's industrial base. And we are no where near slowing down. Our metal has gone to space. It has protected our troops. It is in your car and in the machine that scanned your chest. It is all around us. And we can't stop supplying at warp speeds, because America needs it. We will be revitalizing a WW2 era, 35,000 SQFT factory in Detroit this summer where we will have our techno industrialists working hard to further pursue our mission. We will be tripling down on technology, which has allowed us to move this fast for America thus far. More code. More machines. More metal. More production.

Do you want to win defense contracts like @anduriltech does? Partnering with @DiracInc can help.
.“One of the most unexpected outcomes of working with Dirac: it’s accelerated our sales.” — Matt Grimm, Cofounder & COO, @AndurilTech Anduril is now pitching Dirac directly to the Navy & Air Force as part of how modern systems get designed, manufactured, and fielded faster. With Dirac, manufacturing software stops being internal tooling and becomes a strategic advantage. @FilArons @mttgrmm @tbpn

One of the great chapters in America's history is how we converted our economy to wartime production in the 1940s and used our industrial power to win WWII. I'd learned in high school that we converted car factories into tank factories. But I never knew the full story until last month, when I read Freedom's Forge, the definitive book on this. It turns out the true story is even crazier and more impressive. In honor of July 4th, here's the story of how America won WWII, one factory at a time.

the thing we're trying to offer is a fractional swe, that we hire, that gets you setup to build on top of carbon. you get a production-ready, security hardened app that'll take you to 90%. then a manufacturing engineer, or SME takes it to 100% with vibe coding. i think this still hasn't clicked with people, but i'm confident that this is the right long-term play. own the stay. build on the core that's solid and improving.
had an older fab shop owner call me this week he asked, "Where the hell do I hire a software engineer?" keep in mind this is a legacy 10 year old shop, never had a software engineer listing up, and been doing things the old way forever mostly excel and a legacy ERP/crm his thoughts were along the lines of: > he understands with AI he can make anything exist but it's not good enough to really work > he has built scheduling and quoting tools that actually save him time and money > he has seen direct gains from these simple tools to the point where he wants to invest in someone full time and really scale them out > was very adamant that nothing on the market is truly customizable for his complex business .. "ive tried everything" his main concern was how he finds a good one the future of manufacturing is changing a lot of bottleneck is caught up in tribal knowledge a lot of bottleneck is caught up in immense amounts of tedious tasks that can be automated with AI or simple software those who write code, on top of immense existing capacity, will win
