@jakobdiepen is the most talented, ambitious, and mission-critical 20-something venture capitalist in the country. Fast forward 10 years and @DiscipulusVent will be a DPI Whale.
LFG @jakobdiepen and @DiscipulusVent!!

@TomSmithMFG @CalebChamberla6 @zanehengsperger It’s actually much simpler. Brad Cleveland (CEO who grew from $500k to $250M) passed away and we hired a big company CEO who over allocated capital to M&A and under allocated to innovation.

Appreciate the hustle but your perspective ignores the national security implications of knitting - a critical manufacturing industry in secular decline in the U.S. / West and in desperate need of reinvigorating/re-shoring against foreign “dumping”. Not just sweaters but also components for healthcare, aerospace and defense - mission critical elements for our military rely on knitting - carbon fiber, heat shields, missile nozzles, anti-frag curtains, parachutes, “smart” uniforms…long list. Knitting is a manufacturing process the same way as machining or injection molding, only the technological challenges are harder and the tech tools much more limited. If anything, we should increase this budget for American security.

@Mammoth I'm obviously biased, but fasteners are exciting and chock-full of hard problems of scope for startups to solve.
