SkyfireAI has secured $11 million in seed financing to accelerate the development of its dual-use, AI-native platform for autonomous, coordinated multi-ship drone operations.
The funding was led by Mucker Capital, with participation from AI Fund, SaaS Ventures, Halogen, Harvard Business School Alumni Angels, New York Angels and other investors.
Headquartered in Huntsville, SkyfireAI was co-founded in late 2022 by Don Mathis, Eric Malawer, Brian Davidson and Matt Sloane. Andrew Ng and his AI Fund were involved from the company’s founding.
SkyfireAI’s platform is designed for public safety, defense and mission-critical organizations that are responding to situational operations. It serves federal, state and local public safety and law enforcement agencies, as well as defense customers.
“When seconds matter, teams need faster eyes on scene, better coordination and better information,” said Don Mathis, CEO of SkyfireAI. “SkyfireAI is building AI-native autonomy that helps first responders, defense operators and other mission-critical teams deploy drones faster, manage more complex missions and ultimately protect more lives.”
SkyfireAI will use the funding to accelerate the development of its AI-native autonomy platform, expand its technology and product teams and scale deployments with organizations.
