I recently came across the Black Flag accelerator put on by Harpoon, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about the companies on there.

The energy and drive these companies have is palpable. I don’t even care that half of them will probably go out of business just due to the brutal nature of the startup game. These are folks at the helm that are taking moonshots to drive humanity forward. What a rush to witness people that are doing things like automating mining robots, or carbon negative chemical manufacturing, or weather-independent solar delivery, or underwater robots, or… or… or.

I love the energy in the innovation sector. I love that feeling of summoning the future out of nothing. I love the idea of aiming big, fast. It’s honestly what gets me out of bed in the morning to go to work – that someone, somewhere, has a huge solution to a giant problem, and I get a front row seat to see someone’s imagination become real.

Wow.
