Founded in 2022, Seattle-based Overland AI builds full-stack autonomous land systems designed to remove warfighters from harm by executing high-risk ground missions. Its flagship product, ULTRA, is an autonomous ground vehicle capable of navigating off-road, in GPS-denied environments, and without direct operator control. The company combines engineers from the self-driving industry with U.S. military veterans to ensure rigorous field testing and operational relevance. Overland AI’s technology spans autonomy software, perception sensors, control systems, and in-house manufacturing, enabling rapid scaling for military deployments. The newly secured capital will be directed toward meeting accelerating demand for ULTRA as armed forces integrate ground autonomy into active units. Although no revenue or user figures were disclosed, the company emphasizes speed and scale in fulfilling defense contracts and delivering multiple attritable vehicles with modular payloads.

Airspace Link offers an online platform that helps UAV operators obtain FAA permissions by partially automating safety-case workflows and tracking ground-based infrastructure such as radar coverage, nearby flights, and other assets. The company positions itself as state and local infrastructure rather than a pilot-facing app, with municipalities white-labeling the platform and charging convenience fees. It raised $23.1 million in a Series B to accelerate U.S. expansion and pursue a global roll-out as countries seek to build or update drone regulatory systems. Airspace Link is partnering with Thales and ESRI to support localization and airspace-monitoring capabilities for international deployments. The company cites tightening FAA rules — including an upcoming mandate for drones to broadcast location — as a driver of demand and a reason to expand quickly. Airspace Link is hiring rapidly, nearing 50 employees, and plans to grow its global team as it commercializes its infrastructure offering. Airspace Link offers drone operation planning tools and APIs that let developers integrate its geospatial data into third-party platforms. Its system is LAANC-compatible and the company is one of seven FAA-approved providers for low-altitude authorization in controlled airspace. The platform differentiates itself by integrating with municipal mapping tools to surface ground-based risk for communities and operators. Founded in 2018 and based in Detroit, the company employs about 20 full-time staff and says it partners with more than 40 U.S. government agencies and municipalities. Airspace Link plans to use new funding to expand its domestic offering, integrate with additional transportation groups, and grow overseas. The company has signaled specific expansion targets of Australia and Canada. It recently closed a $10 million Series A to support those efforts. Airspace Link builds mapping and authorization tools that help cities and towns manage low-altitude drone traffic by integrating ground-based risk data into flight guidance for operators. The company integrates deeply with ESRI to surface terrestrial critical-asset and population data and to enable municipal advisories and permitting workflows. Its platform components include AirRegistry (opt-in/opt-out for drone deliveries), AirInspect (city/state permitting), AirNetm (FAA-approved air routes) and AirLink (an API that connects operators with local governments and collects registration fees). Airspace Link has received FAA approval for low-altitude authorization and notification capabilities and currently focuses on authorizing flight plans while planning broader rollouts. CEO Michael Healander says the company expects live-tracking of every drone on its platform within about two years. Financially, Airspace Link previously closed a $1.0M pre-seed round in September 2019 at a $6.0M post-money valuation; the company’s current valuation following the new financing is undisclosed.

It says it currently works with hundreds of local governments and generates revenue via a per-seat annual charge that provides unlimited form conversion. With the new funding, SeamlessDocs plans to target federal agencies and branches of government. The company will use proceeds to hire more engineers, sales staff, and customer-service representatives. Founder and CEO Jonathon Ende has framed the mission as making government interactions beautiful and easy. SeamlessDocs provides a document automation portal that moves traditionally offline government forms online and mobile by converting any PDF into a smart form. The product supports legal eSignatures, attachments, and payment integration to streamline citizen interactions. The company targets governments to reduce paperwork, data entry costs, and improve the user experience. SeamlessDocs has signed up hundreds of governments in almost every U.S. state, with the city of Los Angeles among its largest clients. Pricing runs in the thousands of dollars and varies by the population of the government customer. The company originally launched as Bizodo out of the ERA Accelerator and rebranded and refocused on government customers.
