Skydio extends Series E by over $170M at about $2.2B
Skydio raised a Series E extension of more than $170 million at approximately the same $2.2 billion valuation as its prior Series E.
Why it matters
The flat valuation paired strategic capital with KDDI and Axon while Skydio shifted toward defense, public-safety and remote-operations infrastructure.
Evidence notes
- The extension added more than $170 million to the $230 million Series E, taking the full round above $400 million without treating the cumulative total as a new round.
- Linse Capital said the extension priced at the same valuation as the prior Series E; reporting described that mark as about $2.2 billion.
- KDDI and Axon joined as strategic co-leads tied to connected-drone deployment and public-safety workflows.
Company context
Skydio develops autonomous drones and supporting software for public safety, defence, inspection and enterprise operations. Its autonomy stack is designed to let drones navigate complex environments with reduced pilot burden.
