Builds autonomous maritime vessels and software-driven shipyards for defense and commercial use.
Around 1,145 people on the team.
Saronic, a US robotics company building autonomous maritime vessels and software-driven shipyards for defense and commercial use, has raised $1750M across one round backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins, Elad Gil, 8VC, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Advent International. With a network centrality score of 64, it sits in the a16z and Kleiner Perkins defense and frontier-tech cluster, sharing investors most heavily with Harvey (3 shared investors) and then with Glimpse, Revolut, EliseAI, Cognition AI, Base Power, and Decagon (2 each). That overlap, weighted toward AI and infrastructure companies, places Saronic alongside a cohort of capital-intensive applied-AI and hard-tech startups rather than a narrow defense-only group. The team of 1145 is concentrated in Austin (50%), with smaller hubs in London (10%) and Washington (10%).
