Mar 17, 2025 · Funding · Neros Technologies · Defense

Neros Technologies announced a $35 million Series A to accelerate American drone manufacturing.

  • Vy Capital US led the $35 million Series A, with Sequoia Capital, Interlagos, D3 and Zipline CEO Keller Rinaudo Cliffton participating.
  • Neros said the capital would fund large-scale production and development of next-generation defence systems.
  • The raise followed Defense Innovation Unit supply-chain certification and a multimillion-dollar International Drone Coalition contract, tying the financing to active manufacturing demand.

Neros Technologies develops and manufactures small first-person-view uncrewed aircraft and supporting communications hardware for defence use. The company vertically integrates airframes, electronics, radios and production in the United States to reduce reliance on foreign drone supply chains. Founded in 2023 by drone-racing and electronics specialists, Neros has expanded manufacturing in El Segundo around high-volume, field-informed systems.
