About
Round timing
We are preparing a seed round to open in Q4 2026 / Q1 2027 — after our swarm demonstration (Q2 2026), first government test (Q3 2026), and first paid pilot (Q4 2026). We are using ILA 2026 to begin investor relationships ahead of the round, not to close this week.
Use of funds
– Engineering team expansion (autonomy, perception, mesh integration) – Scaling from 3-drone validation to production-grade 25-unit swarm – Defense-grade mesh communications and certified hardware integration – Customer pilot logistics across Europe, Middle East, and allied geographies – Operational runway through first paid contracts and follow-on procurement in 2027
Ideal investor profile
– Deep-tech, defense, and dual-use focused funds – European or NATO-aligned investors (Germany, Nordics, France, UK, Netherlands, US-allied) – Seed-stage funds comfortable with hardware development timelines and government procurement cycles – Funds with portfolio experience in autonomous systems, robotics, edge AI, or aerospace
At ILA 2026
We welcome introductory meetings with investors who would like to track our progress through swarm validation and first revenue, and who plan to be active in European defense-tech funding in late 2026 and 2027.
