One year ago: First dollars in the bank account, a few believers and a whiteboard. Today: a dream team, a 15-person company (plus 3 great interns this summer), and our first multi-megawatt turbomachine successfully built and tested. At Karman Industries, we’re building the next-generation of thermal infrastructure—powering the future of manufacturing, compute, and energy to achieve unprecedented growth. Huge thanks to our teammates, investors, partners, and early customers who made this year possible. Chiranjeev and I are truly humbled and couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. We’re hiring across all roles—because next year, we ship. If you’re ready to move fast and build the future, let’s talk.
