250 years ago, a small group built something the world had never seen: America. 🇺🇸 That spirit never died. In 2002, Elon Musk moved into a warehouse in El Segundo and proved Americans could still build the impossible. A generation of companies was born from that building. They're still being built here today. If you're building something your family and your country will be proud of, come to the Gundo and build what you need to. Apply for the Fall Cohort below. Deadline July 17th. Featuring Jordan Noone 🇺🇸 and Jordan Black

🇺🇸 Scott Nolan is building America’s nuclear fuel supply General Matter. Ex-SpaceX engineer, Founders Fund partner. He couldn’t find an American uranium enrichment company to invest in, so he built one. $900M DOE contract. His advice for hard tech founders in the Discipulus Ventures Cohort: “Don’t start a company if it’s not your life’s mission.” That ethos runs through the core of what’s being built in El Segundo. Missionaries, not mercenaries.
