## About

Founded in 2022 and based in Austin, TX, Saronic Technologies, Inc. operates in the defense sector, focusing on the design and deployment of advanced Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) for diverse naval and maritime applications. In March 2026, Saronic Technologies, Inc. raised USD 1.75 billion in series D funding led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Advent International, Bessemer Venture Partners, DFJ Growth, BAM Elevate, 8VC, Caffeinated Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Franklin Templeton. The firm has not undergone any pivots or changes in operations since its inception, focusing solely on its core mission of enhancing maritime capabilities. The company was co-founded by Dino Mavrookas, Rob Lehman, Vibhav Altekar, and Doug Lambert. Their core offerings enhance situational awareness, operational reach, and survivability for military forces. Utilizing advanced technologies, these vessels can identify and track targets in various maritime environments and support diverse operations, including deployment from small craft and aerial airdrops. The company serves naval forces and defense contractors across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, focusing on improving maritime capabilities. Saronic Technologies generates revenue through B2B transactions primarily with military and defense organizations. These typically involve the sale of ASVs, integration services, and ongoing operational support. Their pricing structures are aligned with contracts that may include customized payload integrations, ensuring flexibility for clients. The company’s ongoing partnerships with government and defense agencies further bolster their revenue streams. The company plans to utilize the March 2026 funding to speed up autonomous maritime platform development, increase shipbuilding, and enhance AI-driven maritime capabilities for defense and commercial use.
