Today we’re sharing some big news. @Saronic closed a $1.75B Series D fundraise at a $9.25B valuation, led by @kleinerperkins.
Honestly, it’s a bit surreal to look back at how much has happened in such a short time. We started with a simple belief: the maritime world was being overlooked, and autonomy could change that in a big way. Since then, it’s been a lot of time on the water, building, testing, breaking things, fixing them, and doing it all over again — just trying to move fast and get better every step of the way.
What makes me most proud though isn’t the milestone, it’s the team behind it. Saronic is what it is because of people who genuinely care about what we’re building and who push hard every day to do it right. That’s the part that really matters.
This next chapter is about scaling up — faster builds, bigger footprints, and continuing to invest in American shipbuilding in a real way. We’ve got a lot of work ahead, and that’s the exciting part.
Grateful to everyone who’s been part of this, from our team, to our investors and partners, and to our customers. Let's go!
@PalmerLuckey The first three sentences of your post should be the mantra for manufacturing going forward! It also This whole piece speaks to the current state of labor force in manufacturing.
@DanHollaway@ShawnRyan762 Wouldn't it be cool if posters would, ya know, respond to people and have an actual conversation instead of posting & ghosting? I thought X was supposed to be the town hall.
@JasonPremoMFG@FenixAmmunition Same. Also, it took one vendor a month to get me paint, and then they wanted to charge me freight for something they failed to deliver for 3 weeks.
@ReinhartLLC But yet, you could find two abandoned trains in the woods in Maine. Go figure.
Also, between 1992 and 2004 I found all 17 ways to get into Maple Grove!
