We need masks. We needed them in March. We need them now. We're going to keep needing them for a long time.  We need masks that are Made in the U.S.A. COVID-19 has made it clear that critical manufacturing needs to be based here at home so that our supply chains aren't disrupted when there is a global crisis. There was no where that was made clearer than with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and especially masks. 
It's been nothing short of incredible to watch Lloyd and his team pull this together. Researching machines, bringing them in from around the world, building a factory, then making it better and better every day. Lloyd is true testament to American ingenuity, creativity, and the entrepreneurial spirit. I've known Lloyd for almost a decade and invested in his last Y Combinator backed company. He's one of the most driven entrepreneurs I've ever met and that says a lot because I'm one of the most active angel investors in the world. He the good kind of unreasonable – always pushing to make things better, always asking why, never taking no for an answer. I bet on him once before and it's a no-brainer to bet on him again.
