Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper.

We recently raised $260 million dollar Series C to accelerate this mission.

We are opening a new headquarters to support thousands of future hires, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory-as-a-Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.

We are backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. Our fast‑growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond!
