We're building the planet's most efficient factories to accelerate a free, abundant, spacefaring future. Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full-stack manufacturing, we're reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
Our founder Chris Power moved to the U.S. in 2019 with a simple observation: the American industrial base was in massive decline, and aerospace & defense manufacturing relied on tribal knowledge held by experts who were retiring without replacements. We saw an opportunity to leverage software and automation to make the factory itself the product. We recently raised $260 million in Series C funding to open new facilities, including a 270,000 square foot factory in Mesa, Arizona. We work with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission-critical programs.
