Great piece in The Wall Street Journal on how tariffs are reshaping U.S. manufacturing and how Saman Farid & Formic are helping American factories adjust. 📎 https://lnkd.in/gktFRcfV Here’s the reality: 🏭 90% of U.S. factories are still not automated 👩🏭 75% of manufacturers have fewer than 20 employees 🦾 Most have never deployed even a single robot At Lorimer Ventures we believe that (1) Automation is a necessity, not a luxury and (2) the future of American manufacturing lies in our ability to build and deploy the world's largest robot workforce. Formic doesn’t make robots. It makes it easy for manufacturers to adopt robots. If Formic succeeds, we’ll manufacture more, better things, more cheaply, in the US. This moment is bigger than any one product or provider. It’s about enabling 300,000+ American 🇺🇸 factories 🏭 —many family-run🧑🏭 👨🏭 👩🏭 for generations—to succeed in a new industrial era. Let’s stop treating small factories like small problems. They are the foundation of U.S. industry. Let’s equip them accordingly. #tariffs #manufacturing

Enjoyed my conversation with Dav Masaon. We discussed my journey to VC and how Lorimer Ventures tries to earn the right to be a founders first call.
What does it really mean to be a founder-first VC? In the latest episode of Venture Voices, we speak with Nicholas Nicholas Wijnberg, Founder & General Partner at Lorimer Ventures, an operator-led, early-stage investment firm redefining how VCs support startups. Nick brings a unique perspective with a broad background in finance, operations, and venture investing and covers a multitude of topics including: ✅ The evolution of the CFO role in the age of AI ✅ When and how startups should hire their first finance leader ✅ Why go-to-market hires can make or break early-stage SaaS businesses ✅ What makes a founder truly investable So dive into this episode, to learn more about Lorimer Ventures and what founder-first looks like in practice - not just in theory. #venturecapital #lorimerventures #venturevoices

Congrats to our Venture Partner Will Lyon on his amazing run at 6sense and his new role leading Channel GTM at Rippling. He’s hiring, so if you want to work with a world class growth operator (& human) shoot him a message.
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Rippling as the Head of Channel GTM! The first week has been great, and there’s so much opportunity ahead—including growing the team (see below for the key roles I’m looking to fill). What really impressed me during the interview process was the combination of innovative, driven people ready to lean in and solve challenging problems, coupled with a visionary product—getting to experience it firsthand through onboarding has only reinforced why I’m so excited to be here. A big shout-out to Megan Ketchum and the entire Rippling team for running such a smooth interview process—it really set the tone for the culture I have experienced here thus far. The Channel GTM Team is growing fast, and I’m looking to hire 2 key roles out of the gates to help take the channel motion to the next level. If you or someone you know have worn multiple marketing hats, have experience in Channel Marketing, and/or have worked with Brokers/Accountants, check out the JDs below or DM Me.

🌎 The global chip shortage is one of the strongest macro headwinds impeding technological progress today. Simultaneously, more and more of the aging domestic electrical engineering labor force retires each day putting a strain on US manufacturing capacity. 🧠 Tomide, 🧠 Basilio and the 🔌 Circuit Mind team are attacking these problems head on using AI to automate circuit design with Architecture to Schematic & Power Design in 60 seconds or less. More info below👇
Finally - The breakthrough that blew my mind. Engineers, imagine you need power for your design... Before you blink, it’s done—complex power trees generated, regulators selected inductor values calculated, ripple, switching frequencies, efficiency curves interpolated, with optimisation for cost, size, and power consumption. Circuit Mind’s automation now makes it real, in seconds. This isn’t sci-fi—it’s our Embedded World Power Launch at Booth 4-215 (March 11-13). Not in Nuremberg? Catch the power launch webinar or snag a spot on our waitlist. Is this the future of circuit design? You tell me—comment below, tag an engineer who needs this, and let’s debate! Really humbled by what the Circuit Mind team has accomplished over the past few months! Links in the comments

Grant and his "tiny team" at Gamma have gotten a lot of well deserved press over the last year. However, this piece from Erin Griffith at The New York Times covering how they're "rewriting the playbook" for tiny startup teams profitably growing at scale is my favorite. If you're interested in joining a world class team of 28 people who've already (profitably) scaled to “tens of millions” in ARR and nearly 50 million users - Grant and Jon Noronha are hiring: https://lnkd.in/eDcQiqWq Full Article here 📰 👉 : https://lnkd.in/eC_JKzMC
