My conversation with @ti_morse about mining in America, Durin, and building a hardware company.
Durin is rapidly scaling and hiring engineers.

Earth or space mining?
@MattGialich and I discuss.
Give it a listen! Thanks @matvogels for having me on.
🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨
In this week's episode of Pirates Only (from @BlackFlagVC ) I sit down with @MattGialich (CEO, @AstroForge ) and @tfeldmann (CEO, @DurinMining ) to discuss the wonderful and amazingly under-appreciated world of mining.
We touch on both the incredible opportunities of mining asteroids in space, as well as the immense riches that are still here waiting on Earth.
Electric (and hybrid) cars, energy production, construction and the devices we use every day all depend on the resources we pull up from the ground (And very soon, outer space).
Oh and we also talk a bit about aliens... And our love for perhaps the most underrated movie of all time: Armageddon.
You don't want to miss this one! Watch it right here on X, or view more details / watch here: blackflag.vc/episode/from-co…

I’ve been lucky to work with some of the best companies pushing the edge of American manufacturing at places that value persistence, innovation, and the pride of building real things.
I’m excited to join the team at Durin as Head of Talent, where we’re growing the team while building the future of mining. In less than 6 months, the team has went from prototype to in the field drilling holes.
We're now looking for more to help surface earth's abundance. Whatever you’re working on, driverless cars, limitless energy, space colonization, AGI, robotics, it all starts (and ends) with the same thing: minerals.
If we can’t dig them up, none of it gets built. We’re hiring across engineering, drilling, and operations.
It's Time to Mine.

Never bet against a man focused on doing the impossible.
@tfeldmann explains to me why critical minerals are a national security issue and what he is doing to make sure America is a big winner 🇺🇸

Great time on the Tool, Or Die pod — always love talking mining and Lord of the Rings!
Give it a listen
🎙️ Ted Feldmann (@tfeldmann), founder of Durin, joins Tool or Die to discuss how his startup is tackling one of the most overlooked but vital problems in American reindustrialization: the lack of modern drilling rigs for mineral exploration. Ted explains why the U.S. is decades behind on core sampling tech and how @durinmining is building a programmable drilling rig from the ground up.
