The successive wins from Neros has turned my account into a fan page. They just keep winning.
Join the mission!
Neros has officially received a $100 million order for 14,000 drones and explosive payloads from the @DeptofWar for our performance in Drone Dominance Gauntlet II.
We’ve also received a second bonus order for an additional 800 drones tied to Gauntlet I, reallocated from other competitors who couldn’t meet the production deadline for their orders.
Gauntlet II orders are split between Archer AI, our flagship autonomy-enabled 10” drone, and Archer 5”, a smaller variant built for close quarters battle scenarios including urban and indoor settings.
We’re proud to be the only manufacturer to have placed top three in both Gauntlet II mission sets, and are already fulfilling this next tranche of orders.
Onward to Gauntlet III.
The results are in for @DIU_x Drone Gauntlet II.
We’re proud to place #1 in Close Quarters Battle and #3 for Deep Strike, and to be the only drone manufacturer in the top 5 placement for both missions.
These results are a testament to the adaptability of our Archer FPV system, designed from the ground up to flex to the needs of the military operator in every battlefield scenario.
As the only manufacturer with Gauntlet I drone commitments fully shipped and accepted, we’re standing by and ready to fulfill against the expected 14k drone order from the Department of War.
Major kudos to everyone on the Neros team for working tirelessly in support of Gauntlet II, and onward to Gauntlet III.
Shoutout to @brandonaporter for the co-production

Privileged to be a major investor in @boringcompany Series D and to have helped scale the team for 5 years.
Vegas Loop proved what’s possible. With the $3B raise, TBC is expanding to many more cities in the US and abroad.
This is a rare moment to join the team and help bring Loop to the next 100 cities.
We are inviting a select group of exceptional engineers and operators to an all expenses paid, behind the scenes tour of the Vegas Loop on Sunday, Oct 18.
Years of experience is not a filter. New grads and dropouts should apply.
Apply by Oct 1

TBC is the only path to get urban planning back to human centric design & manage increased traffic by way of autonomous vehicles. The quality of life improvement in cities across America and beyond will be remarkable.
Join the mission!

Thrilled to co-lead @neros_tech Series C with ASTF (@LararDavid)
@sequoia has now led or co-led three rounds in this company: seed + B + C
AKA Neros is absolutely ripping and we have extreme conviction
It's an honor to work with @soren_ma and @OHichwa, two absolute patriots
Today, we announce our Series C Funding of $250M at $2.5B post money valuation to scale our Autonomous and Interceptor drone programs.
This round of funding is co-led by Sequoia Capital and American Strategic Technology Fund (ASTF) with participation by Interlagos, Valor Equity Partners, Allen & Company, Thiel Capital, Spark Capital, and Dylan Field.
These funds will accelerate the development and production ramps for new drone programs including Archer AI, an FPV platform augmented with autonomy features including Terminal Guidance and GPS-denied Position Hold, and Bandit, a c-UAS interceptor drone intended to counter Class 2 and 3 drone threats including Shahed-style systems.
These platforms are being developed with the hardware and compute required for multi-asset control (often called “swarming”) while retaining the cost efficiency Neros is known for – and that’s essential to achieving true attritable mass.
Both Archer AI and Bandit will be deployed for combat by the end of 2026.
