Building in America is hard. Our CCO Carey Browning on how it gets easier, at The New Industrial Age Forum. @newindustrials
.@ReBuildMFG just received $2.1 billion in investments to revive American manufacturing.
Listen to its CCO Carey Browning at The New Industrial Age Forum about how it might currently be hard, but everything is finally falling into place for America to solve its manufacturing crisis.
This is why Re:Build and NAIA exist: to make it easier to build in America again.
Re:Build, along with all our members, work every day to tackle the hard issues to fix America’s supply chain and bring manufacturing home.

Right on time.
As usual, Jeff (a mentor and a friend, so grano salis) picks progress-centric bets that pay off on the 10-15 year timeframe. Been following @ReBuildMFG since the beginning - this thing is really going to rip.
Hard things are where moats get built. And hard things take time. Co-founder Will Barker on why our mission needs a 7- to 10-year horizon:

October proved the software era is dead. 💥
💸 @OpenAI swallows $30B 📦 @DoorDash drops $17B for logistics 🏭 @ReBuildMFG pulls $2.1B for heavy manufacturing
Capital is buying the physical world, while the AI frontier builds fortresses and pulls models offline in sudden safety panics. 🛡️
We aren't just scaling algorithms anymore. We're watching private empires lock down their turf.

In 2020, the U.S. struggled because it relied on other countries for the products it needed. For Re:Build co-founder @jeffawilke, that was a national security risk he couldn’t ignore.

news we're watching:
1. @AnthropicAI filed an S-1 for its IPO and plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as "ANT". share count and price range are not set yet.
2. OpenAI cut the target for its current round to up to $20B from about $30B, per CNBC and the FT. the FT puts the post-money valuation at $1.25T, and the round has not closed.
3. DoorDash agreed to buy Instacart for $65 a share, about $17B in equity value, at least 75% in cash. closing is expected late 2027 or the first half of 2028.
4. @Kalshi raised a $1B series G at a $40B post-money valuation, co-led by Wellington and Sequoia. it says annualized trading volume is over $1T and it holds over 75% of prediction market volume.
5. Cohere opened a series E targeting up to C$7B, led by Schwarz Group, with the Government of Canada as a new investor.
6. @ReBuildMFG raised $2.1B led by General Catalyst and JPMorganChase to build out manufacturing capacity for new industrial products.

#Deals 1/3 @ReBuildMFG (spun out of #SlateAuto, 2023) closes $2.1B — led by @generalcatalyst + #JPMorganChase Strategic Investment Group. #Manufacturing accelerator in Framingham, MA. "America's answer to Shenzhen."
Re:Build retweeted
This week in venture was insane:
1. @cohere raising up to C$7B at C$35.7B
2. @ReBuildMFG raised $2.1B
3. @Kalshi raised $1B at $40B
4. @FuriosaAI raised $620M at $2.9B
5. @BedrockRobotics raised $600M at $4.1B
Re:Build retweeted
@ReBuildMFG raised $2.1B to expand American production.
Miles Arnone's argument starts before the factory floor.
Bring manufacturing engineers into product design while the expensive decisions can still change.
A beautiful drawing is useless if nobody can build it repeatedly.
Re:Build retweeted
Re:Build CEO Miles Arnone (@ReBuildMFG) thinks American manufacturers put too much faith in robots.
"Bringing robots in might take a few percentage points off your total cost at a very high capital expense."
His alternative is Toyota's lean production system: pull a quarter or half a percent of cost out every single week by cutting the steps that add nothing to the product.
That kind of pragmatism is how Qasar Younis (@qasar) runs Applied Intuition, the $15 billion company behind the autonomy software carmakers and machine builders use.
@guilleflorvs and I sat down with Qasar to hear how he built it.
Qasar Younis, CEO of Applied Intuition and former COO of Y Combinator under Sam Altman, in his own words:
"We're a 15 billion dollar company."
"Startups are just businesses."
"We're a ruthless company."
"The dollars are a commodity."
"If you listen to too much advice, the advice cancels."
"The through line is authenticity."
And on Jensen Huang: "he's been in the game for 30 years."
Cap table: Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Lux Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Fidelity, BlackRock, plus Elad Gil. Board member: Marc Andreessen

Re:Build retweeted
Agreed!
Fact: Re:Build announced $2.1B on Oct 27, led by General Catalyst and JPMorganChase's Strategic Investment Group, which oversees direct equity investing for its Security and Resiliency Initiative. Re:Build says its ecosystem employs 2,100+ people in the U.S. across 2.4M+ sq ft of manufacturing capacity.
The line that matters is from Re:Build's CEO letter: "Capital that matches the time constant of our customers' work is not a nicety; it is a precondition for success."
That is the Hamilton and Carey point. Capital patient enough to stay with the plant and the crew who run it.
Pattern to watch: whether the money lands as named plants and seated American workers, not only a holding company balance.
xitter.twitterapi.xyz/7SwanSwimming/status/2…
Credit that does not name a plant is only a rate story.
Reorienting the Federal Reserve to the American System means a directed-credit tool aimed at productive capacity on U.S. soil. A speech about the cost of money is not that tool. A facility is. Name the instrument. Name the yard, fab, or mill it is supposed to reach.
State and local rooms can ask the same question of their own development money:
- Does this dollar add a machine, a line, or a citizen seat.
- Or does it only lower a borrowing cost with no place attached.
- If the plant cannot be named, the credit is not paired.
County industrial authorities sit closer to the site than a national rate decision. Pair the local dollar with the same test. Confirmation is the named place, not the press line.
Re:Build retweeted
NAIA member @ReBuildMFG has secured $2.1 billion in new funding to accelerate its mission of restoring America’s manufacturing capabilities.
This capital will fuel growth across critical sectors, including aerospace and defense, electrification, medical, energy and environment, and robotics and automation, while expanding its capacity to build hard technology and launch new industrial enterprises.
Bringing the total raised in its latest funding round past the $4 billion mark, these are precisely the investments needed to revitalize American manufacturing and build in America again.
