• Occam Industries

  Participated · Seed · Feb 2026

  Founded in 2025 and based in London, Occam Industries integrates advanced computer-vision software into existing FPV and other unmanned aerial platforms. Its flagship product, OccamX, is a retrofit autopilot that delivers perception, tracking and guidance, allowing low-cost drones to operate with minimal human control and resist jamming or GPS denial. The company positions Ukraine’s high-intensity battlefield as the ultimate proving ground and has passed Brave1’s assessment for integration testing with Ukrainian manufacturers. Upcoming proof-of-concept trials on Ukrainian unmanned platforms aim to enable large-scale frontline deployment, while parallel paid adoption projects with European defence primes are slated for this year. Beyond combat autonomy, Occam plans to build additional support capabilities delivered via its software stack. Financially, the firm has secured a €3 million pre-Seed round to fund product development and deployment, its first disclosed external capital raise.

• Himera

  Participated · Seed · Dec 2025

  Himera is a Ukrainian developer and manufacturer of tactical radios and networking hardware whose current product, the HIMERA 2.0 tactical communications network, is designed to operate in harsh combat conditions. The team is now expanding this foundation into a broader "Comprehensive Resilient Network" that will let every frontline asset—from voice comms and situational-awareness apps to UAVs and ground robots—share data over a single, secure infrastructure. Hardware remains the company’s core know-how, protected largely through trade secrecy rather than patents to avoid exposing details to adversaries. Himera has already landed one contract in the United States and another with a NATO country, using higher-margin export sales to subsidise almost break-even pricing for Ukrainian forces. Management reports quarter-over-quarter growth and expects a sharp acceleration (“rocket” growth) in 2026, though it withholds exact revenue or production volumes for security reasons. Since inception the company has raised more than $3.2 million, including a freshly closed $2.5 million seed round that followed a fast pre-seed completed in three weeks. Competitive differentiation comes from rapid battlefield-driven innovation and an integrated approach that legacy players such as Motorola have yet to match.

  Participated · Seed · Dec 2025

  UForce was incorporated in the United Kingdom in January 2025 by former Ukrainian Prime Minister Oleksiy Honcharuk and People.ai founder Oleg Rogynskyy to aggregate and scale Ukraine’s most battle-tested autonomous systems. The company positions itself as a defense-technology operating platform that contracts directly with governments to deliver complete combat systems under its “Neoprime” model, combining its own products with those of subcontractors. Its portfolio includes the Magura and Mykola-3 unmanned surface vessels, Nemesis strike drones, the R18/R34/R36 bomber drones, Fury ground robots, laser counter-UAS systems, and the Ground Control and SICH command-and-control software suites. Unlike traditional defense contractors that rely on prototypes, UForce offers equipment already proven in active conflict. The firm aims to export these solutions to Ukraine’s allies facing stability threats. UForce has already reached unicorn status, with a valuation exceeding $1 billion following its latest financing. The fresh capital is intended to expand production and accelerate deployment of its autonomous platforms.
