Another enlightening CVPR in the books. Hosting it in Seattle this year felt special and fitting. Here are some of my key observations: - AI is already revolutionizing entire industries. - The R&D in AI is extraordinary. - Some ventures are being launched at a frantic pace. - Be extra diligent when assessing AI ventures. In a way the current frenzy reminds me of the hype times in Crypto. - There are so many new AI developments, even industry experts have a hard time keeping up. At recruyt we're doing what we can to stay plugged in, and up to date. No better way of doing that, than connecting in person with our clients and partners in academia and industry. What an incredible time to be alive. Stoked to keep building together. cc: Anduril Industries, Justin Wissman, Jana Flannery, Ryan Borra, Hannah Belnap, Ethan Ottemiller, Megan Terry, Scott Murphy, Weights & Biases, Kyle Woestmann, Lambda, Kyle Knapp, Noah Spear, Isaiah Leavy, Austin Dupuy, Applied Intuition, Benjamin Fowle, Zoya Hsiao, recruyt, Trish Suver, Alexis Clark, Hannah de Villiers, Sanctuary AI, Derek Sharpe, Zac Engler, Lumafield, Elizabeth Jerzyk, Overland AI, Thomas Hendrix, Mike Slagh, Humane, josé benitez cong, Voxel51, Remy Schor (she / her), NEURA Robotics, David Reger, Danny Crichton, Jesica Chavez 🤖🎙️

Reindustrialize 2024 was spectacular. An inspiring and mission-aligned tech summit of people striving for continued progress, prosperity and freedom. Where else do you get to meet industry innovators ranging from Energy, Defense, Manufacturing, AI, Robotics, Space etc.? I'll list a few that attended. ENERGY Radiant - Doug Bernauer and his team are building nuclear microreactors to replaces diesel generators. Valar Atomics - Isaiah Taylor and his team aim to produce low-cost, carbon neutral synthetic fuels by leveraging atomic energy. Fuse - JC B. and the Fuse team are accelerating the world’s transition to fusion energy. DEFENSE Anduril Industries - Anduril is disrupting Defense, and forging a path for other Defense tech startups to follow. This isn't hyperbole. It's a fact. Thanks, Keith Flynn for sharing your thoughts about the future of manufacturing during an excellent panel. Saronic Technologies - Saronic's team is building highly capable, autonomous surface ships for the Navy and US-aligned defense customers. MANUFACTURING Nominal - Cameron McCord and his team are building software to accelerate the creation of hardware used in space, energy and other sectors critical to national security. Machina Labs - “Machina Labs uses robots the way a blacksmith uses a hammer to creatively manufacture different designs and material, introducing unprecedented flexibility and agility to the manufacturing industry.” (TC, 5/10/23). Big congrats and thanks for putting such a powerful summit together, Mike Slagh, Kate Moon and Aaron Slodov. Can't wait for Reindustrialize 2025. cc Thomas Hendrix, Trish Suver, Packy McCormick, Kip Mock, Nick Bublitz, Danny Crichton, Alexis Clark, Yuxiao Zhang, Darian Parrish, Zakariah Nyberg, Hannah de Villiers, Sam Lisbonne, Samantha Rondon, Hannah Belnap, Edward Mehr, Erik Prince, Kelvin Yu, Alex Huckstepp, John Conafay, Ryan Borra, Jordan Noone, Kyle Duchynski
