Chariot just raised our $34M Series A, led by @a16z , to scale command of power on the battlefield. With this round, bringing total funding to $41M, we are: - Boosting production of our Amphora 24 and Amphora 400 products - Initiating an operating system for command, control & distribution of power - Expanding the team that will define this next-generation infrastructure The round was joined by existing investors @generalcatalyst and @xyz_vc with other new participation by @DCVC, LMNT Ventures, @MarlinspikeVC, Overmatch Ventures, @ShieldCapVC , @ensemblevc, and Trenches Capital. In under a year, Chariot moved from stealth to revenue and from prototype to force-on-force exercises. Amphora systems are now supporting U.S. Army units, DIU, and commercial customers who recognize that resilient power underpins autonomy, sensing, strike, and C2. The future of defense will be shaped by energy, speed, and adaptability. We are defining the power backbone that makes that future possible and ensure power is never the limiting factor in modern warfare. If you are building or supporting technologies at the edge of high-voltage systems, advanced batteries, embedded software, or distributed architectures — join us.
@EnergyVentures portfolio company Zeitview, has acquired Insight M, adding methane detection to their aerial asset intelligence platform, alongside solar, wind, properties, utilities, and telecom. Sorry for the paywall! axios.com/pro/climate-de…
Easy Aerial is leaving the Brooklyn Navy Yard. @BklynNavyYard leadership made the right decision last month to not renew their lease. This public asset should not be leasing space to companies producing drones that are being transformed into weapons of war.
