For more than a decade, we’ve tracked how venture capital flows across the U.S. and how those flows influence where innovation takes hold. A central premise: local investors help spark and sustain startup ecosystems. So how is that dynamic showing up across the country?

Two years ago, Hermeus hadn’t flown an aircraft. Today, we’ve reached supersonic flight, and our latest aircraft will push to Mach 2+.

Inspired by Kelly Johnson’s “one miracle per program” mantra, each Quarterhorse tackles a new set of engineering challenges and takes us one the world's fastest operational aircraft.

We break down our rapid roadmap to high-Mach flight below.

Replying to @seanhenry
@seanhenry on @business - why scale matters in commerce, and what AMS Fulfillment adds to Stord.

10M+ annual orders, nearly 1M+ square feet, and 20+ years of operational data join the network.

More brands bring more volume. More volume lowers costs and speeds up delivery. Every intelligence we build through Stord Labs. That scale and vertical integration make our flywheel spin faster, so independent brands can get Prime-level delivery without giving up their customer relationship.

Today we closed a $400 million credit facility, led by Citi and joined by Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, at nearly double what we went out seeking.

With the Series F, that's $650 million in capital and committed credit behind Stord this year alone.

Concurrently, Bill Zerella ayland joins as CRO.

“I don't think value is going to keep accruing to AI & robotics. I think it actually accrues to the application layer & to the real world.”

“Long term, it's these super fast growth AI companies and robotics that end up commoditized by how low the cost becomes to replicate them internalor individuals even.”

NEW: Stord’s $3B Bet on Robotics, AI & Physical Infrastructure

From Thiel Fellow at 19 to building a $1B+ revenue business

Founder & CEO Sean Henry (@seanhenry)

@GetSTORD stats:
› 100M packages/year
› ~$20B in GMV
› $1B+ revenue this year, after 10Xing in 4 years
› 8B operatioal is to level the playing field with Amazon Prime for the other 2/3 of commerce on the internet.

I sat down with Sean in Cap Ferrat to talk about the company's $250M Series F, its massive bet on robotics & AI, plus why he believes the biggest value from this technology may ultimately accrue to physical businesses, not the AI and robotics companies themselves.

We get into:
› The data advantage behind 100M packages a year
› Why humanoids may be the wrong form factor for warehouses
› How acquisitions & vertical integration are accelerating Stord's scale
› Going from Thiel Fellow at 19 to building a $1B+ revenue business

Sean also explains the flywheel behind Stord: more volume creates greater density, lower costs and faster delivery, which in turn makes the company more competitive as it scales.
