Solving the problems that no one else will. Building the products that get turned down, but that warfighters and public servants are begging for. Creating a new operational model for defense and government tech.
So pumped to announce our Series A and that the journey is just beginning. Let's do this.
I'm thrilled to announce that @valinortech has raised a $54 million Series A led by @friendsfamcap, bringing out total capital raised to over $85 million.
We've proven a new operating model for defense tech.
Now it's time to scale.

We Stand on the Shoulders of Giants.
All great American companies become businesses of businesses. Alphabet. Berkshire Hathaway. Honeywell. SpaceX.
No one product, no one entity defines them. The success lies in the operating system. That's the business.
Valinor Enterprises - the next great American business of businesses.
Holding companies making the ultimate comeback - love to see more of it. Congrats @CGarrett_15
Europe’s critical industries - from manufacturing to industrials to commercial aerospace and of course defence - consist of some of the best businesses in the world. We want to build a new type of company to scale them up in order strengthen Europe’s defence and industrial foundations. I’ve long long been passionate about what I call Private Equity 3.0, and being half European and born in Italy, there’s no better or more important place to deploy this model. As primes and the winning neo-primes scale to deliver critical platforms for our defence, it’s equally important we scale the rest of the industrial base around them. It also turns out this same dynamic, fragmentation, and lack of scale and technology exists in many other critical industries as well. It won’t be easy, but Onodrim was started to go solve this by building the leading long term and trusted partner across capabilities and industries to the ecosystem. Many more announcements to come soon.

These black tie interviews are going extremely hard @MollySOShea
BREAKING: Max Cook (@maxlbcook), Sector Head at Coatue (@coatuemgmt) says..
"The keyboard & mouse are slowly dying." :(
Cook also offers a bigger Q for the market:
"What happens when OpenAI or Anthropic decide to offer smaller, cheaper, fine-tuned production models as products?"
Cook argues the real AI debate might actually not be open vs. closed models
It's what happens when frontier labs begin competing across the entire model stack..
Offering everything from cutting-edge reasoning models to smaller, efficient, low-cost, production-grade models for enterprise

There's a method to our madness....
New-age defense tech holding company @valinortech's Dispatch modular drone-docking and charging station was tapped by @DIU_x for the Containerized Autonomous Drone Delivery System (CADDS) project, which is, well, pretty much what it sounds like.

A warm welcome, indeed!
Dispatch hosted friends, family, Putnam County officials, and local business leaders at our Cookeville manufacturing and R&D facility.
The evening included a live product demonstration and facility tour (not to mention live music).
she's beautiful 🥹
Dock, recharge, launch, repeat. No operator necessary.
Dispatch spent the week onsite at Fort Hood testing our autonomous UAS recovery and power capabilities alongside the @USArmy.

The problem lives in plain sight: moldy barracks, flooding from aging plumbing systems, unreliable heating and cooling in workspaces.
Our military might rests on neglected infrastructure.

Come onboard.
Valinor is expanding, fast.
We've spent the spring testing our products in the field alongside warfighters and operators.
Now, it's time to accelerate. We're hiring for 10 roles across 4 of our Product Companies.

Government forms suck. Fix them with Streamline.
The government creates thousands of forms. Many take hours to build and even longer to fill out.
With one of Streamline's features, users can convert PDFs into fully-fledged, mobile-friendly forms in seconds.
Save the government time. Save the public time.
