ycombinator · x · 2026-10-21
Y Combinator amplified a post from Nox Metals founder Zane Hengsperger: the manufacturing startup has reached $25M in annualized revenue in less than a year.
His playbook: write code, digitize the factory floor, empower technicians, build abundant capacity, obsess over customers — then repeat and scale. He also shared the revenue growth chart since production day 1, saying it's "just getting started."
A notable case of software-driven disruption of traditional manufacturing.
