Saronic Technologies

Saronic Technologies

Saronic Raises $600M – The Future of Naval Defense


Saronic Technologies is making big waves—literally and financially. The Austin-based company just raised a massive $600 million in Series C funding, pushing its valuation to $4 billion. That’s four times what it was just seven months ago. Not bad for a company building ships that don’t need captains.

Saronic’s mission? To modernize naval shipbuilding with autonomous surface vehicles—or ASVs—that can extend the Navy’s operational reach, protect sailors, and be produced faster and more affordably. Their latest creation, the Corsair, is their largest ASV to date, proving that the future of maritime defense might just steer itself.

But they’re not stopping there. With this funding, Saronic plans to build ‘Port Alpha,’ a next-gen shipyard designed to scale up autonomous ship production like never before—think WWII shipbuilding speeds, but with 21st-century tech.

Investors like Elad Gil, General Catalyst, and the ever-present Silicon Valley heavyweights are all backing Saronic’s vision to boost America’s maritime strength with smarter, faster shipbuilding.

So, while the idea of robot ships once felt like sci-fi, Saronic’s making it clear: the future of naval defense is already here. And yes, it comes without a captain’s hat.

AMP’s Bold Move: AI, Waste, and the Future of Sorting

AMPs Bold Moves - AI Waste and the Future of Sorting

2024 was a year of transformation for AMP Robotics—so much so that they even dropped “Robotics” from their name. But don’t be mistaken, their AI-powered sorting technology is still very much at work.

A major change came with the appointment of Tim Stuart as CEO. Formerly the COO of Republic Services, Stuart brings decades of waste management experience to AMP. Despite the leadership shift, AMP expanded into North Carolina and Virginia and raised $91 million in funding.

In Virginia, their AMP One system is processing 150 tons of municipal solid waste daily, sorting recyclables and organics with over 90% uptime. The company’s goal? Diverting 60% of waste from landfills and maximizing resource recovery.

Looking ahead, Stuart sees AMP becoming more than just a tech provider—it’s shifting towards operating waste facilities in partnership with municipalities and major waste haulers. While automation in waste management has traditionally focused on trucks and hauling, AMP is pushing for smarter sorting solutions powered by AI and robotics.

With decades of industry knowledge and cutting-edge technology, AMP is positioning itself to redefine waste management—one sorted pile at a time.
