Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale.
In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors.
Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers.
Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers.
Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market.
We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.

Proud to back @AutoScienceAI -- Eliot and team are building autonomous AI research labs for the era of machine-scale discovery 🚀
from its system medaling at a Kaggle comp to authoring/publishing a peer-reviewed paper, Autoscience is definitely one to watch.
Dario: “The biggest thing to watch is this issue of AI systems building AI systems.”
Today, Autoscience is announcing $14M in funding by General Catalyst, Perplexity Fund and Toyota Ventures to create autonomous AI research labs.
Human AI researchers can't keep up with the pace of new AI research. They’re out of time to run the experiments they want. So we’re building an autonomous AI lab that can.
The era of human-scale R&D is over. Machine-scale development has begun. 🚀
