## About

Based in Australia, Breaker is a technology company that specializes in creating advanced AI agents for seamless communication and collaboration with autonomous systems across various platforms, including drones and robots. Based in Sydney, Australia, founded in 2023 by Michael Irwin, Vanja Videnovic and Matthew Buffa and is already working with defence customers in Australia and the United States. In February 2026, Breaker raised AUD 9 million in seed funding from Bessemer Venture Partners and Main Sequence Ventures. Breaker specializes in advanced AI agents designed for seamless communication and collaboration with autonomous systems across diverse platforms such as aerial drones, ground robots, fixed sensors, and wearable devices. Their core offering, the Breaker V2 Agent, enables real-time, nuanced decision-making in dynamic environments by interpreting mission context and executing actions without constant human oversight. This technology is deployed via push-to-talk radio networks, allowing operators to issue commands and query systems using natural language, which streamlines operational processes and minimizes the cognitive burden on personnel. The primary end users include military and defense organizations, emergency response units, and various commercial sectors that require robust autonomous systems for complex missions. Breaker’s products are marketed and utilized in key geographical regions, particularly North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, where demand for advanced robotics and AI-driven solutions is on the rise. Breaker generates revenue through a combination of direct sales and subscription models for its AI agent technologies. Clients, predominantly in defense and commercial sectors, might engage in partnerships or contracts that involve deploying Breaker’s solutions within their operational frameworks. Transactions typically involve multi-year agreements, allowing clients to integrate the AI agents into their existing systems while paying for ongoing support and upgrades. The flagship Breaker V2 Agent is central to these transactions, with clients benefiting from its advanced capabilities that enhance operational efficiency and decision-making in real-time. Pricing structures are designed to accommodate various scales of operation, ensuring that both small enterprises and large organizations can access and utilize Breaker’s innovative technology to meet their specific operational needs. The company plans to use the February 2026 funding to hire engineers and support staff, complete development of its defense autonomy software, and expand its work on military projects in Australia and the United States.
