"We're not trying to do this in America. We ARE doing this in America." Our Co-founder and CEO @MavrookasD joined @MariaBartiromo to discuss our latest $1.75 billion funding round and our push to accelerate US shipbuilding capabilities and redefine America's maritime superiority.

"We're going to invest billions of dollars, create thousands of new jobs in the process, and unlock production rates in shipbuilding that we haven't seen in this country since WWII - and do it in a very software-first, technology-first approach." Our Co-founder and CEO @MavrookasD joined @technology to share what's next for Saronic with our latest funding round: bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
Today we’re sharing some big news. @Saronic closed a $1.75B Series D fundraise at a $9.25B valuation, led by @kleinerperkins. Honestly, it’s a bit surreal to look back at how much has happened in such a short time. We started with a simple belief: the maritime world was being overlooked, and autonomy could change that in a big way. Since then, it’s been a lot of time on the water, building, testing, breaking things, fixing them, and doing it all over again — just trying to move fast and get better every step of the way. What makes me most proud though isn’t the milestone, it’s the team behind it. Saronic is what it is because of people who genuinely care about what we’re building and who push hard every day to do it right. That’s the part that really matters. This next chapter is about scaling up — faster builds, bigger footprints, and continuing to invest in American shipbuilding in a real way. We’ve got a lot of work ahead, and that’s the exciting part. Grateful to everyone who’s been part of this, from our team, to our investors and partners, and to our customers. Let's go!
We were proud to welcome U.S. Senator @TimSheehyMT of Montana to Saronic this week. As a former Navy SEAL and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, he has firsthand understanding of the threats we face and the need for advanced maritime capabilities to be delivered to our warfighters, at speed and scale. It was great to show him how we are building proven, autonomous systems and working tirelessly to make a real difference for the U.S. and our allies.
We applaud the leadership shown by the Administration in advancing the U.S. towards a new Maritime Golden Age. Today’s Maritime Action Plan is a powerful continuation of the Administration’s commitment to revitalizing the U.S. shipbuilding industry after decades of decline. The focus on modernizing procurement, streamlining regulations, and accelerating shipbuilding is exactly what’s needed to restore capacity, sustain growth, and deliver capability at speed. It is especially encouraging to see clear recognition of an autonomous maritime future, which is reflected both in strong support for autonomous ship development and in the commitment to closing regulatory gaps to enable deployment at scale. At Saronic, we are on a mission to rebuild U.S. shipbuilding capacity and capability in the era of autonomy. We are investing in new shipyards and advanced manufacturing approaches, delivering autonomous ships at speed and scale to address the national security and economic needs of the country. We stand ready to meet this moment and to help reclaim America’s maritime strength. @POTUS @marcorubio @russvought @SecWar @SECNAV @JerryHendrixII
