🚢 Saronic Raises $600M to Build the "Shipyard of the Future"!💥

Autonomous warships are no longer science fiction. Saronic, an Austin-based defense startup, just secured a $600M Series C to build "Port Alpha" – a cutting-edge factory for mass-producing autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and large unmanned ships. This funding quadruples Saronic’s valuation to $4B, making it one of the most valuable defense tech startups in the U.S.🇺🇸

✔️Big investors: Elad Gil, General Catalyst, a16z, 8VC & more
✔️Mass production: Saronic has already built three ASV models (up to 24 ft long) and plans to scale even bigger
✔️Strategic importance: Strengthening U.S. naval capabilities amid growing competition with China 🌍
✔️Defense tech boom: Saronic joins Anduril (valued at $14B+) and Shield AI (reportedly aiming for $5B) in shaping the future of military innovation

Saronic is still scouting for a location for Port Alpha, but CEO Dino Mavrookas says operations are set to begin within five years.

With $850M raised to date, Saronic is moving fast – and so is the defense tech industry. Expect more big funding rounds and high-tech military innovations to come! 🚀
