"This Series A funds the factory, not the lab." That line from Foundation Alloy's CEO should make every family office look twice. They've raised $22M to scale a different way of making advanced metals engineered in the solid state, without ever melting them. Faster, cleaner, and reaching properties melt-based methods can't. The flagship molybdenum alloy is said to be three times stronger than the commercial standard. Why it matters: today, a single advanced alloy can take 900 days to produce ,  long enough to ground aircraft and stall defence stockpiles. This round builds the plant to fix that, scaling to tons per week by 2027, with customers already trialling across North America, Europe and Japan. Real economy hard assets. Defence and energy tailwinds. Deep tech already in customers' hands not stuck in a paper. That's exactly the ground TA3 works. #FamilyOffices #PrivateCapital #AdvancedManufacturing #Defence #Materials #Reshoring #SeriesA #DeepTech #IndustrialTech #PatientCapital #FoundationAlloy
