Chris Power, Hadrian: $10B or Zero, Revitalizing American Manufacturing

In this podcast, Molly O'Shea interviews Chris Power, Founder & CEO of Hadrian, a vertically integrated deep tech manufacturing company. Hadrian recently raised a $117M Series B to support its mission of revitalizing American manufacturing. The company experienced strong customer demand, leading to an accelerated fundraise to meet the needs of large customers and expand its factory and operations to multiple states to support its growth. The company's vertical integration, focus on software and robotics, and emphasis on talent and workforce development, create an industry-leading moat. The conversation covers the importance of manufacturing for global competitiveness, America's position in global politics, building a "Tesla-hard" business, the strong vibe shift in the industry, recruiting and investor momentum, the early days of Hadrian, reflecting and resetting as a scaling Founder, drilling holes in servers, and building for the future.

Hadrian is actively hiring software engineers and other roles to continue scaling its operations. Email: jobs@hadrian.co or visit https://www.hadrian.co/careers
