Marlinspike Partners led the round with Khosla Ventures, Red Glass Ventures, SE Ventures, Wing VC, Axiom Ventures, Hanabi and Zero Shot Fund.
## Manufacturing Scale
The company now operates a 130,000-square-foot Emeryville facility with 20 times the previous capacity.
## Product Assembly
Foundry assembles drones, autonomous-vehicle components, ground robots, satellites and computing equipment.
## CEO Statement
Founder Adarsh Kulkarni stated factories must be rethought from the ground up to revitalize U.S. manufacturing.

> We believe the factories that revive America’s manufacturing sector will need to be rethought from the ground up rather than retrofitting one aspect in an existing factory.
## Manufacturing Model
Foundry uses AI-powered robotic cells and FoundryOS software to assemble products under a manufacturing-as-a-service model.
## Key takeaway

Foundry Robotics raised $100 million in Series A funding to expand autonomous assembly capacity for defense and industrial hardware.
