I'm ECSTATIC to finally announce I'm joining @gener8tor as Managing Director of the Electrify Nevada Accelerator in Reno-Tahoe! Now let me tell you why Nevada is one of the most underrated energy tech ecosystems on the planet... Did you know? ⚡️ NV is #1/2 in solar, geothermal, lithium loop ( one of the world's largest deposits & only active large scale mine in the US) ⚡️ NV is #4/5 in new data centers and energy storage ⚡️ NV has the LARGEST industrial park (TRIC, right outside Reno & larger than the city of Detroit w/ @Google @Apple @Microsoft @RedwoodMat operating and @OpenAI looking), LARGEST data center campus (@Switch Citadel), and one of the largest buildings (@Tesla Gigafactory) globally ⚡️ NV costs 3-10X less to do business than CA (and is only 3-4 hours from Silicon Valley) ⚡️ NV is growing VC 9x faster & battery manufacturing 6x faster (in Reno alone) than national averages ⚡️ NV has a Top 50 GDP rivaling New Zealand and Greece And the proof is already here: @positron_ai hit unicorn status out of Reno in 34 months ($1B valuation in Feb 2026). @tensorwave broke Nevada's startup funding record twice in one year out of Las Vegas ($100M Series A). Amperesand raised an $80M Series A and chose Reno for their US manufacturing hub. The success stories are piling up. Not to mention @gener8tor is now the largest accelerator network in the world with over 450 programs completed across 50 cities. Major network effects for founders. Our program is backed by @US_EDA @DiversifyNevada @unlv @unevadareno @EDAWNReno I have been based in Reno-Tahoe for almost 4 years watching this come together, and now I'm HYPED to help build it. We will be running 4 programs annually across Nevada with bases in Reno-Tahoe and Las Vegas, supporting early-stage founders who want to seamlessly plug into the NV energy ecosystem. If you are working on anything AI or deep tech in energy, lithium, critical minerals, physical AI, batteries, grid infrastructure, nuclear, geothermal, AI data center power, manufacturing, or frontier energy applications, I want to hear from you. DMs open always. Applications opening soon. 🏗️ Let's build!

Data centers aren’t stealing your water. Even if the total water draw of data centers triples by 2030, they’d require just 8% of the water consumed by American golf courses. @dodgeblake interviewed @AndyMasley, the man who’s been debunking AI water doomerism. Full story 👇

Clawvisor is going to be one of the most important parts of helping make the agent world especially OpenClaw/Hermes Agent secure and enterprise-grade. We're in the Apple I moment for personal AI, but we're ABOUT to see the Apple II - the first moment when everyone can use it

Missed your YC shot? We teamed up with @ycombinator: Schedule your launch on Product Hunt for this Friday and tag “YC application.” @gustaf will review the top launches, and one or more will get a YC interview 👀

Per one-gigawatt data center complex: 5,322 permanent jobs, $157M per year in state taxes, $248M per year in local taxes. During construction: $2.67B in combined investment But nobody managed to tell Seattle this, so it's banned.

good advice for any accelerator application
