About Hadrian Hadrian is building autonomous factories that help aerospace and defense companies manufacture rockets, satellites, jets, and ships up to 10x faster and up to 2x cheaper. By combining advanced software, robotics, and full‑stack manufacturing, we are reinventing how America produces its most critical parts.
We recently raised $260 million in Series C funding to accelerate this mission and are launching a new 270,000‑square‑foot factory in Mesa, Arizona, creating 350 new jobs immediately. We are opening a new headquarters, launching Hadrian Maritime to serve naval production, and introducing a Factory‑as‑a‑Service model that delivers complete systems instead of individual parts.
Hadrian partners with startups, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and major defense contractors across space, shipbuilding, and aviation to scale production, reduce costs, and accelerate delivery on mission‑critical programs. Backed by Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz, our fast‑growing team is united by a shared mission to reindustrialize American manufacturing for the 21st century and beyond.
