About
Blue Water Autonomy is one of the few defense-focused startups developing truly open-ocean autonomous vessels — a harder and more strategically valuable problem than harbor or coastal autonomy. The company raised $50 million in Series A financing in 2026, bringing total funding to $64 million, primarily supported by US Navy contracts for uncrewed surface vessels designed for long-duration ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and maritime operations.
Raised $150M debt (Jan 2026). $1.2B total funding backed by Embraer. Completed first full-scale eVTOL flight Dec 2025. 300 test flights planned in 2026.
About
Eve Air Mobility is an eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) company backed by Embraer, the Brazilian aerospace manufacturer, giving it supply chain, manufacturing, and certification expertise that pure-software eVTOL startups lack. The company secured $150 million in debt financing in January 2026 from Itaú, Citibank, and Mitsubishi UFJ, bringing total funding to $1.2 billion and confirming a runway through 2028.
