Rownd (YC W22) Information

Rownd AI builds fully autonomous drones that utilize custom carrier boards, local intelligence, and global LTE/SatCom failovers to eliminate the 1:1 pilot bottleneck anywhere on earth. By processing task-specific models directly on the physical aircraft, we shift operators away from joysticks and into high-level mission command, enabling a single person to direct smart, self-healing swarms. Operating out of Raleigh, NC and Wisconsin, our automated model pipelines rapidly deploy optimized edge intelligence straight to hardware payloads without cloud dependencies. We are currently field-deployed with active customers across U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) through our defense line of business, ArcEdge AI, as we prepare to scale this physical autonomous infrastructure across commercial enterprise edge applications.
