On February 18, 2024, Ian Laffey made a cheap drone in the hacker tone, where two different and the other two other people and the other two others used the cameras and Google maps. His and his colleague Sacha landVy and Carl School were engineers under 25 years of age.
This technology has the potential to fight against the drone’s widespread GPS interference in Ukraine. Drone operators need to guide the drone in view using advanced goggles instead of GPS. But it leads to many problems, especially in harsh conditions such as dark mist or night.
At the end of Hackathon, the School wanted two team members and broke up.
But tweets fell into the virus and changed their lives. One day later, the three decided to apply to the Y combinator and successfully entered Cohort in the spring of 2024.
Now, headquartered in San Francisco, Thesus raised $ 4.3 million in seed funds in the rounded round, and told TechCrunch exclusively through additional support of Y Combinator and Lux Capital.
Thessus joins the group of other drones related to new companies. Skydio has reached $ 2.2 billion in 2023, focusing on replacing Chinese drones for US law execution. Recently, the reconnaissance drone has recently increased to $ 5.3 billion. Anduril, the largest defense technology player, started its own small drones last year and talked to increase to $ 28 billion in valuation.
Thessus focuses on hardware components and software that doesn’t build drones but can fly unmanned without GPS. The CEO, CEO of the Thessus, said the company does not build a targeting system in TechCrunch. Software does not decide whether a specific branch is a legitimate military goal or not. The only focus is to get drones from B at point A.
Tesus has not yet got a US military contract and has not been placed on the battlefield. Therefore, we use new capital to further build technology and hire three engineering roles.
However, the viral Hackathon tweets were noted by the US Special Forces, which began agreement on early tests and development. Thessus recently tested the latest system based on a secret special unit and actually sent a photo of TechCrunch.
Overall, the company started the company with people who knew for less than a week, saying, “It is not usually recommended.”
