Just another day at the Batcave – big delivery heading out the door as we speak!
 
"It's worth saying that making one of something is quite easy... making lots of something consistently that's going to last a long time is extremely hard." -Elon Musk
 
We agree with Elon and are tackling the manufacturing challenge head on! We are sprinting down the learning curve as we continue to pump out V-BATs for our customers. The ramp in V-BAT production at our Batcave is a customer testament to the strategic value V-BAT provides.

Happy Thanksgiving! 

We are thankful for the daily opportunity to make our service members proud and want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our extraordinary teammates who make this possible.  

“Shield AI’s success is predicated on a culture of hard work, diligence and mission alignment. I am lucky to be surrounded by teammates that uphold a standard of excellence and challenge me to be constantly improving.”   

Hear from Brian Marchini, Cristina Sorice and Inderraj Singh Grewal, three of the teammates behind our V-BAT Teams product, in our latest Built In spotlight:

When advancing freedom and tech come together! 
 
"What does excite you?"
"We have a company called Shield AI... we might actually see a possible step function down in battle deaths and civilian casualties." 
 
We're similarly excited about the future! Great conversation between two incredible Americans: former Secretary of State and Director of The Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Condoleezza Rice, and the founder of Netscape and Andreessen Horowitz, Marc Andreessen. We recommend listening to the whole conversation, but the Shield AI portion is linked here (1hr3m15s-1hr6m).

Our teammates are in the arena.
 
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙖, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”
 
The Greatest Victory Requires No War. 

Thank you to all Veterans! Your example of service before self is an inspiration. This day is for you all, and we hope it’s a great one.
