CVector says no to Big Tech buyouts 💥

CVector, an industrial AI startup, is gaining trust from manufacturers and energy giants by promising not to sell out to Big Tech.

🚨Breaking News:
CVector raised $1.5M and is winning big clients by saying “no thanks” to flashy acqui-hire deals from tech giants.

⚡Wire Simplified –

• Customers kept asking if CVector would vanish after getting acquired, and the founders said nope, we’re here to stay

• Their software helps factories, energy plants, and chemical facilities run smoother using real-time data

• Built a “brain and nervous system” for industrial operations using racing team software, fintech tricks, and weather data

• The co-founders come with gritty, field-tested experience from oil rigs to the Large Hadron Collider

• Clients include national gas utilities and automotive/chemical players; now expanding with a small but mighty 8-person team

✔️Straight to the Point:
While big tech buys up AI startups, CVector is taking the opposite route, winning trust by committing to stay independent.

Intel cancels factories and lays off managers 💣

Intel, the chip-making giant, is cleaning house under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, and that means layoffs and factory cancellations.

🚨Breaking News:
Intel just scrapped chip projects in Germany and Poland, delayed its massive Ohio factory, and cut 15% of its staff.

⚡Wire Simplified –

• Intel is no longer building some European factories it had previously announced

• The Ohio chip factory is delayed again, no chips till further notice

• The new CEO says past investments were “excessive” and they’re now only building when demand is real

• Workforce is shrinking, 50% of management layers are gone, and 15–20% layoffs hit Intel’s Foundry unit

• Focus is now on efficiency, not scale

✔️Straight to the Point:
Intel is slimming down hard, with fewer factories, fewer managers, more focus. Wall Street might like it, but Europe probably doesn’t.
