Delian Series A, the time is now

In a world where battle lines are drawn not just on maps but in lines of code, Delian Alliance Industries has secured $14 million in Series A funding. We are excited to to co-lead this round along with Air Street Capital. The round was also joined by repeat backers 201 Ventures, HCVC, Entropy Industrial Capital, and new investor Nebular.

Delian’s mission is to create an impenetrable defense for democratic nations in an era where threats come from above, below, and everywhere in between. By seamlessly integrating sensors and effectors, Delian constructs a defensive “dome” that autonomously detects and neutralizes incursions across land, air, and sea. With one nationwide deployment already underway, Delian is not just responding to demand; they’re defining the future of national security. In a world where milliseconds can mean the difference between deterrence and disaster, Delian’s systems provide the edge that democracies need. This shift is now underscored by the EU’s ReARM initiative, which signals a broader awakening to the need for cutting-edge solutions to ensure sovereignty amid a complex geopolitical landscape.

We first invested in Delian back in 2021, at a time when Europe was oblivious to the coming geopolitical turmoil. By residing at the edge of the continent, we had a front-row seat to this new reality. We witnessed the evolution of Delian from a small office to their first factory, bringing together under the same roof software, AI, mechanical & mechatronics engineers, designers, metallurgists, and, of course, military and security experts. Most importantly, the people of Delian have gone to extreme lengths in challenging conditions. Protecting our security against aggressors or environmental hazards is not for the faint-hearted. We are humbled to be a day-one & repeat partner to Dimitris and his team.

This $14 million is more than a funding round; it’s a clarion call. The race is on, and Europe cannot afford to wait or rely on external help. Delian Alliance Industries is proof that the continent can regain its strategic autonomy.
