## About

Sunflower Labs Inc. develops innovative autonomous security solutions, centered around its flagship Beehive System, which integrates drones with existing security infrastructure for enhanced property monitoring and safety. Founded in 2016, Sunflower Labs Inc. operates from Palo Alto, US, offering advanced security solutions through its Beehive System. The company was established by Alex Pachikov and Chris Eheim, both of whom have extensive backgrounds in technology and entrepreneurship. In November 2025, Sunflower Labs Inc. raised USD 15.67 million in Series B funding led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from Alarm.com Incorporated, Wakestream Ventures, Daybreak, Drone Fund, Gentian Investments, and Atlas Venture also participated in the round. Sunflower Labs specializes in autonomous security solutions, primarily through its flagship product, the Beehive System, which includes the drone known as the Bee. Designed for large commercial, industrial, and residential properties, the Beehive System seamlessly integrates with existing security cameras and sensors, offering rapid deployment capabilities and the ability to autonomously navigate and monitor up to 4 acres of property. The drone is equipped with advanced features such as real-time obstacle avoidance, geofencing, and a high-quality live video stream for object tracking and identification, even in low light and adverse weather conditions. Targeted clientele includes storage facilities, airports, and various outdoor property owners across North America, Europe, and Asia. The system's reliability and efficiency cater to the needs of security professionals seeking proactive deterrence against intruders, enhancing overall site safety and operational insights. Revenue generation for Sunflower Labs is structured around the sales and deployment of the Beehive System, which is sold directly to commercial and industrial clients, including property management companies and large facility operators. Clients typically engage in a direct purchasing relationship that includes the initial costs of the Beehive System alongside ongoing maintenance and support services. The transaction model also encompasses subscription plans for software updates and additional features, as well as partnerships for integrated security solutions. Specific pricing plans and detailed financial structures are essential to understanding the revenue potential associated with the Beehive System and its accompanying services, as the company continues to expand its market presence across targeted geographic regions. The company will use the November 2025 funding to accelerate AI development, expand deployments in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America, and integrate its Beehive security system with partner platforms.
