SkyfireAI to use $11 million for first responder drone operations

SkyfireAI’s platform is designed for public safety, defense and other mission-critical organizations that need to respond faster, expand situational awareness and scale drone operations without a corresponding increase in operator workload or staffing.

The $11 million in financing was led by Mucker Capital, with participation from AI Fund, SaaS Ventures, Halogen, Harvard Business School Alumni Angels, New York Angels and other investors.

SkyfireAI will use the funding to:

• Accelerate development of its AI-native autonomy platform
• Expand its technology and product teams
• Scale deployments with public safety, defense and other mission-critical organizations
• Continue advancing solutions that reduce operational complexity while improving outcomes

“When seconds matter, teams need faster eyes on scene, better coordination, and better information. SkyfireAI is building AI-native autonomy that helps first responders, defense operators, and other mission-critical teams deploy drones faster, manage more complex missions and ultimately protect more lives.”

_{Don Mathis, Co-founder and CEO of SkyfireAI}

SkyfireAI currently serves federal, state and local public-safety and law-enforcement agencies, as well as commercial critical-infrastructure clients and an increasing number of defense customers.
