Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future
Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies make rockets, jets, and satellites 10x faster and 2x cheaper. Our CEO, Chris Power, discusses the importance of what we're building in this video.

We've raised >$200m to achieve this vision, with multiple rounds from Lux Capital, A16Z, Founders Fund, Construct Capital, Caffeinated Capital and more.
We utilize AI and Robotics to automate and scale factories that are globally cost-competitive and future-proof against the dramatic skilled labor shortage facing the Advanced Industrial Base.
Hadrian works with startups, Primes, and Tier 1/2s in all markets to cost-down, scale, or otherwise enable them to achieve production rates on critical programs in Rocketry, Satellites, Shipbuilding, Commercial, and Military aircraft, as well as other core, mission-critical industries.
