Most founders have no idea Nevada is doing this. ⚡
The only active lithium mine in the U.S. The Tesla Gigafactory. An industrial park larger than the city of Detroit. Reno-Tahoe is the #5 emerging data center market in the world.
Battery manufacturing growing 6x the national average. Zero income tax. Electricity roughly half California rates. And it's only a 3-4 hour drive from Silicon Valley.
We built a @gener8tor accelerator here because this is where energy companies should be building right now.
Electrify Nevada is equity-free, state-backed, and open to founders across battery tech, critical minerals, grid edge, commercial electrification, AI infrastructure, and physical AI.
One requirement: you want to build in the fastest growing energy economy in the U.S. 🇺🇸
We are open to any stage, globally. We want the best energy founders in the world building in NV.
Fall 2026 applications are open. First round closes June 30.
Comment BIG ENERGY and I'll send you the link to apply early and get a first review.

I wish I were 18 today... If you ARE young and reading this, the most accomplished people alive envy your starting position. The tools are becoming free, the problems are enormous, and this time you don't need to ask for permission.
Go change the world!
I’m going to host a virtual reindustrialize startup demo day for my program in November - DM me to get on the list 🏗️
Industrial Tech startups RISE UP
Nevada is the #1 mining jurisdiction & has the only active commercial lithium mine in the entire USA + one of the largest reserves coming online soon w/ @LithiumAmericas
The future of warfare runs on batteries. America needs to be able to build them.
Yesterday, NAIA joined @ARPAE and the Virtus Innovation Center in Arlington, Virginia, to host Next Generation Batteries for Tactical Systems, bringing together battery innovators, defense officials, and industry leaders to explore how we can accelerate the deployment of these technologies.
The mission: Get American innovation into the field, faster
Come to Nevada! 🌧️
BREAKING: @RainmakerCorp, the American cloud-seeding technology startup, has signed an agreement with the Jordan Valley Authority to enhance rainfall in northern Jordan, strengthening water security in one of the world's most water-scarce countries.
rolling applications open for spring 2027

Solar the #1 grid additive and what does Nevada have a lot of… ☀️
The US grid plans to add 86 gigawatts this year. Here's where it's coming from:
- Solar: 43.4 GW
- Batteries: 24.3 GW
- Wind: 11.8 GW
- Gas: 6.3 GW
- New nuclear: 0 GW
The AI labs are planning for hundreds of gigawatts. Solar is the one source already produced at that scale, and most of it is made in China.
"Scaling firm power that isn't gas is much more complicated. Uprates and restarts can squeeze a little more from the existing nuclear fleet, but the real upside is new reactors."

Today, we're launching Investor Relations on @Metalraise.
4 weeks ago, we announced our seed (led by @a16z & @ycombinator) and shared how we think private capital markets will evolve. Fundraising, investor relations and ownership structure will eventually run on a single intelligence layer.
From today, founders can go from managing their raise to managing their investors post-raise, all in one place, in Metal.
That's what we're building. IR gets us one step closer.
