NOX METALS Raises an $11.5M Seed Round to Reindustrialize America

Nox Metals seed round announcement

NOX METALS exists so America can build 100x more factories and technologically abundant industrial capacity in the West.

We are announcing our $11.5M Seed round led by Hyperion, with participation from Palmer Luckey, Y Combinator, Jared Friedman, RoboStrategy, Operator Collective, DTX, Alumni Ventures, and others.

Over the past few decades, America has neglected domestic production. We lost our dominating ability to build in the world of atoms while jobs on the factory floor plummeted.

It's time to build for America again. As our grandparents once did.

Since launching production only 7 months ago, we have shipped metal to hundreds of American factories. Countless truckloads to America's industrial base. And we are nowhere near slowing down.

The NOX METALS team

Our metal has gone to space. It has protected our troops. It is in your car and in the machine that scanned your chest. It is all around us. And we can't stop supplying at warp speeds.

We will be revitalizing a WW2-era, 30,000 SQFT factory in Detroit this summer where we will have our techno-industrialists working hard to further pursue our mission. We will be tripling down on technology, which has allowed us to move this fast for America thus far.

More code. More machines. More metal. More production.

Join Our Mission

Help us build for America again.

We are hiring techno-industrialists to write more code, run more machines, and ship more metal from Detroit.
