What is Neros Technologies?
High-throughput, secure-supply-chain FPV drones for U.S. and allied defense customers.
Neros Technologies builds first-person-view drones, ground-control systems, and supporting manufacturing capacity for defense missions. It focuses on domestically produced, high-performance, attritable systems with a secure supply chain independent of Chinese components. Neros closed a $75M Series B led by Sequoia in late 2025 and Business Insider reported $121M total funding, 94 employees, U.S. Army Purpose-Built Attritable Systems activity, and a $17M Marine Corps contract for roughly 8,000 FPV drones. The company does not publish revenue.
As of June 2026, the important sales context is that Neros Technologies is still in a build-and-scale phase rather than a mature public operating company. Revenue, customer count, and exact pricing are not fully public unless noted, so the durable facts are its domain, leadership, disclosed financings, offices, and public product direction.
