“We gotta invest more in hardtech to catch up with China”
Holy fucking shit

hardtech startup to challenge China's industrial dominance is going great

Junge Jugendliche werden einfach effektiver sauber, wenn sie während des Duschens ohrenbetäubenden Hardtech hören.

Anders kann ich mir die Geräusche von oben einfach nicht erklären...

It’s kinda funny how a lot of people say “China focuses on real tech like bio/green/hardtech instead of the jingly keys of AI” and also a lot are panicking about how China is gonna overtake us soon in the AI space race

Hardtech startups are generally way too concerned about someone “stealing their idea”, to their detriment. The Edison quote that it is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration is very applicable.

Ideas are easy, execution is hard.

Too often hardtech innovators rush into complicate materials science or complex engineering challenges, when more often than not the correct solution is to step back at a systems level and design the complicated part out of the process.

I think the most often mistake hardtech startups make is trying to do several things well before they prove they can do one thing well.

He vuelto a escuchar mis pistas de hardtech mientras hago recados por la calle y voy ahogado 🥵

Soooooo diese Kinkyparty war mal richtig schön.

Es lief Progressiv Trance und HardTech also kein Electrogedudel bei dem ich nicht so weiss obs mich nervt oder nicht, ich hab mich nicht bemüht kinky auszusehen sonder einfach nach Gefühl gekleidet.

Total anderes Mindeset, zack Party sehr gut.

none of this even mattered, they could have just kept it working, allowed professors etc to monetize through their substack; elon had never built a non-hardtech consumer product and it shows

Matter's $450M Fund II invests in quantum computing infrastructure and HardTech startups. The fund recognizes quantum's transformative potential while acknowledging it remains years from widespread commercialization.

One of the biggest impediments I see in hardtech startups navigating the valley of death to get to commercial scale is lack of competency and culture around safety. By the time you’re building real things in the world you better have a strong safety culture, something I see too many startups lack.

On April 2, I'll be hosting the Ride AI Summit at Neuehouse Hollywood, an exclusive gathering of leaders in the driving automation and AI hardtech space. I'm thrilled to have Tim Lee of the Understanding AI newsletter cohosting, and Waymo as a sponsor.

See you there!

Take shameless stolen from Matt Levine but using a capital-intensive hardtech startup to cross subsidize a failing social media site that's barely more sophisticated than a noSQL database with a pretty frontend with strong network effects is incredible.

An underdiscussed trend in hardtech: over the last couple of decades, particularly with the rise of cloud, cost of compute has fallen dramatically. Fervo, like many hardware companies, relies on complex simulation to hone our designs that would have been cost prohibitive even just a few years ago.

Probably the most important but perhaps most under appreciated factor in hardtech startup success: can you get enough buy-in from your suppliers that they prioritize and make investment decisions with their own funds to support your technology? Most can’t, and it is often the root cause of failure.

OK but in Connecticut, we call it "the Naugatuck Valley."
This CT nonprofit is getting startups through the 'valley of death'
By funding early-stage "hardtech" entrepreneurs, FORGE has become a key part of CT's effort to reignite and develop its manufacturing sector.

ARPA-E has a great guiding principle to ask “If it works, will it matter?” for each project.

More hardtech founders need to use this guiding principle. An all too common failure mode is teams working on problems that are interesting technically but actually don’t address any real challenges.
