I'm excited to announce Vulcan Elements' $65M Series A, led by Brad Gerstner (@altcap) and @AltimeterCap. This investment will propel Vulcan to commercial scale—a critical milestone toward fully onshoring the rare earth magnet supply chain and enabling the United States and its allies to win the 21st century technology race. This is a defining moment for American manufacturing, innovation, and national security. We’re moving with the speed and seriousness that the nation deserves. If we remain disciplined and focused on executing, we can rebuild one of the most critical supply chains of the 21st century—on U.S. soil. As said best by Altimeter Founder & CEO Brad Gerstner: “Vulcan’s relentless execution has put it at the forefront of the industry. Vulcan has already emerged as a best-in-class manufacturer within two years of incorporation. There’s no one else in the rare earth space moving at this pace and with this level of performance.” This is reindustrialization in action—and it’s just the beginning. @WSJ exclusive: wsj.com/business/rare-earth-…
