Galvanick
|
When it comes to securing Industrial Operations environments, we believe humans should always be in the loop as actions in the cyber-physical world have real consequences. Threats are increasing faster than we can hire and train employees. We provide an Intelligence Augmentation platform that acts as your “cyber-sidekick”. Galvanick helpsindustrial companies secure their operations by reducing the time to detection of anomalous behavior on their most sensitive assets. The Galvanick cloud-native analysis platform aggregates telemetry from industrial environments and hosts systemic models that enable operators to quickly understand the difference between, and context around, both normal and abnormal behavior | $10M / Seed / Jun 01, 2023 | |
K2 Space
|
K2 Space builds and supplies high-power satellite platforms designed for diverse orbital missions using vertically integrated hardware and manufacturing processes. The company focuses on developing large “Mega Class” satellites with enhanced power, payload capacity, and propulsion systems to support communications, sensing, and other spaceapplications. K2 Space offers engineered solutions for factory assembly, launch stacking, and orbital operations that aim to serve Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit, and Geostationary missions. Its offerings include resilient spacecraft designs tailored to withstand harsh space environments and support scalable constellation deployments. | $8.5M / Mar 15, 2023 | |

Swarm Aero
|
Swarm Aero is an aerospace and defense company that develops large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms to operate in coordinated drone swarms for defense, logistics, and sensing missions. The company builds large uncrewed aircraft and supporting software that allow multiple drones to collaborate and perform tasks as a coordinated networkrather than as independent vehicles. These systems use onboard computing, sensors, and artificial intelligence to enable autonomous flight behaviors and collective decision-making among groups of drones. The technology platform includes aircraft hardware, swarm coordination software, and command-and-control tools that allow operators to deploy and manage large numbers of drones. A swarm node architecture integrates edge computing and distributed sensors on each vehicle so that drones can communicate with one another, share environmental data, and adapt their behavior during missions. Through this system, operators can translate mission objectives into coordinated flight patterns and task assignments executed by the swarm.Swarm Aero’s aircraft and software systems support applications such as intelligence gathering, environmental monitoring, cargo delivery, communications relay, disaster response, and security operations. The platform is designed to enable operations in environments where communications may be limited or conditions change rapidly, allowing autonomous drones to coordinate actions and adjust routes in real time. | $2M / Pre-Seed / May 01, 2022 | |
Odys Aviation
|
We’re Craft Aero, a sustainable aviation startup. We are building vertical take-off and landing aircraft for the world’s busiest routes. | $12.4M / Seed / Feb 10, 2022 | |
Arbor Energy
|
Arbor Energy presents systems that convert organic waste and traditional fuels into electricity while capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The company designs modular power stations built around a supercritical CO₂ turbine and oxy-combustion technology to deliver baseload electricity with zero operating emissions. Arbor Energy’s approachemphasizes fuel flexibility, allowing the use of natural gas, syngas, or organic waste, and aims to support both reliable energy production and carbon-removal efforts. The company also highlights a background rooted in aerospace engineering and applies those technical skills to power generation. Through its integrated technology, Arbor Energy offers a pathway for stakeholders to engage in power production and carbon management under one platform. | $1.5M / Pre-Seed / Jan 01, 2022 | |
