UNICORN
Hadrian builds automated factories that produce precision aerospace and defense parts on demand. Software-defined production lines combine CNC machining, robotics, and proprietary scheduling to turn quotes around in days instead of months — a critical bottleneck for the US defense industrial base. Customers include SpaceX, Anduril, and major primes. The $260M Series C in August 2025 valued the company at $2.6B and funds a second factory expansion.
