#Inc5000 Awards in #Dallas tonite honors fastest growth entrepreneurial US businesses. Amazing innovators inc @voragotech created 687k jobs + $281B revenue. After COVID killed 50% small biz in 2020-21, it's sure feels big to be small. Thank you hosts @TiffanyHaddish @mikehofman

"Approach sales and marketing from a place of curiosity. Listen first and ask questions" long before you SELL. Humility really matters these days. Key learnings from 2 Founders who are also Chief Sales Officers!! #Inc5000 #breakout

"Use AI more on the front and back end of a sales and market ing processes Or automate the admin pieces." Companies are sitting on a goldmine of leads - it's typically a Lead Nurturing and Tracking problem - Jared Knapp, CEO @JaredsLeads

"There's a big difference between pretending and professionalism," CEO Valentina Flores. It's ok to walk away from a client or employer because it's just not a good fit. Do it soon. Don't drag it out.

Fastest growth companies almost all have clear AI strategy & implemented min one AI use case to improve quality, speed, and accuracy. "Employees need to adapt and adopt AI - be the human in the loop with excellent judgment and business acumen" @Insperity CEO @MeggWithinton

Listening to Founder and CEO of @wonder on future of autonomous restaurant food accessibility with drone delivery. Picture 1 restaurant serving 10s of millions of diners who can customize meal orders with AI. Higher quality foid for less 💰 #disruption #entrepreneur #inc5000

🚀 Forty years of small satellite innovation deserves a bold next chapter. VORAGO Technologies is heading to the 40th Annual @SmallSat Conference (SmallSat) in Salt Lake City, Aug 23–26. Set up a meeting with us [email protected] or stop by Booth #1147 to see the newest Rad-Hard and Rad-Tolerant Twin MCUs engineered to reduce mission cost, shrink design cycles, and take your payload to any orbit, for less. smallsat.org/

Hardware failure or bit flips in deep space? Not on this mission. 🛰️⚡ For the historic #ArtemisII crewed lunar voyage, @Innoflight proximity operations equipment relied on VORAGO's VA4 radiation-hardened microcontrollers. #RadHard #Semiconductors #DeepSpace

I remember 1995 like it was yesterday. Having lived & breathed tech, AI, chips & chemistry for decades, SpaceX going public is the new "Netscape Moment" + the largest IPO in history, opening capital floodgates for the entire stack. 🚀🌌payloadspace.com/vcs-predict…

It's worth the 30 minutes, whatever you think of him. The stuff they do is visionary and a big catalyst for the new space economy wave with unprecendented investment. No denying. #spacex #starlab
SpaceX has released a new 30 minute interview with Elon Musk to talk about AI satellites, manufacturing and more. It was filmed at SpaceX Starlink terminal factory in Bastrop, Texas.

See you in Amsterdam next week! Let's talk about pushing the limits of humanity by making harsh space and satellite environments far safer and sustainable - with radiation protected chips to prevent equipment failure, software bit flips, and senseless space junk. @SpaceXStarlink
Europe, here is your chance to learn all about the world’s most advanced, 100% hardware, software and electrically compatible rad-hard and rad-tol microcontrollers – enabling you to design once and seamlessly scale across LEO, MEO, GEO and beyond without the heavy redesign tax. If you’re attending Small Sat Europe, be sure to visit wolfSSL booth #622 and connect with Matteo Magnifico, VORAGO’s Regional Business Director of Europe/Middle East/ Asia. With Matteo’s extensive background in MPUs and MCUs for any orbit, you’ll learn about: 100% Compatible Rad-Hard and Rad-Tol Microcontrollers Cybersecurity on VA41630/1620 with wolfCrypt and wolfBoot Protecting aerospace, defense and satellite missions No redesign tax. Scale seamless across any orbit Learn More: youtu.be/yUCKH_YcCA4

Radiation isn't the only threat to your mission. 🛰️From UAVs to UGVs and downhole drilling, "upscreened" chips fail at -55°C or 200°C. Check newest VA41600 chip tests: it doesn't just survive; it thrives. Get silicon actually built for extreme temperatures. #SpaceTech #HARDSIL
When you’re engineering for the -55°C deep freeze of the Arctic stratosphere or the 200°C crushing heat of a geothermal well, there is no margin for error. Pushing standard Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) silicon chips into these environments isn't a strategy. It’s a liability. At these extremes, conventional CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) chips don't just degrade; they fail completely at the physical layer. That’s why we built the VA41600 microcontroller on the Arm® Cortex®-M4 core. Fortified by our patented HARDSIL® technology, it eliminates the risk of hardware meltdown or deep-freeze failure by hardening the silicon directly at the substrate. From deep space to deep downhole, see why system architects rely on VORAGO to survive the extremes. voragotech.com/products/micr…

I agree! Hardware that doesn’t fry and software that doesn’t crash. 🦾 10+ years to perfect HARDSIL=the mission-critical armor ideal for #Terafab orbital AI. Now Rad-Tol #twinchips scale that resilience for LEO & harsh terrains 75% lower cost. @elonmusk @SpaceX @Tesla @voragotech
$SKYT Everyone here knows I’m focused on next-generation infrastructure / defense, AI, space and the compute layer that powers. But the deeper I go, the more obvious it is that not all compute is created equal. If you're building systems for space, defense, or contested or harsh environments, failure isn’t an option. That’s why I’ve been digging into @voragotech and their HARDSIL platform. Radiation-hardened silicon built on modern architectures, designed to operate where traditional chips simply cannot. The next wave of infrastructure isn’t just bigger, it’s more resilient, more distributed, and built for extreme environments. When I look at names like $SKYT, I’m not just thinking about today’s revenue. I’m thinking about where this entire stack is going, and who’s enabling it at the hardware level. $SKYT is in my list for Vorago exposure. I'm watching 👀 🚀
