Mining is a $2T market that powers AI, energy, and defense, yet operations still run on tribal knowledge and legacy tools. Discipulus founder Elliot F. Poirier & the Watoga Technologies team are building the AI operating system for mines, starting with drill and blast, to REINDUSTRIALIZE

I started a new company inside Brex to build the future of agentic finance. No BS, just builders building 996 and pushing production-grade agents to 30k+ finance teams, from startups to Fortune 500. I’m now hiring engineers to work directly with me. Signs you’re a great fit: -
