Seed
£4.0M

The seed round was led by Seraphim Space with backing from prominent technology founders and investors.

"Persistent maritime coverage has been too expensive for too long. That has limited what governments and operators can actually see, protect and respond to at sea. We built Online Oceans to change that. This funding allows us to scale production and support customers who need a far more practical way to monitor critical waters, protect infrastructure and maintain awareness over long periods."
— George Morton, Founder and CEO
Series A
£37.5M

Union Square Ventures led the round to support the opening of 25 new manufacturing facilities and international expansion.

"Manufacturing is the origin of our security, prosperity and sense of purpose as nations. This Series A enables us to open more factories, invest in MasonOS, support exceptional franchisees and recruit the best engineers across Europe and the United States. Our mission is to forge industrial acceleration."
— Alexander Fitzgerald
Pre-Seed
£1.5M

Seraphim Space led the pre-seed round to help accelerate development of the company decision-layer software.

"Increasingly, the constraint is no longer hardware but human attention. We can deploy more drones than ever before, yet we still ask operators to control them one by one, often in environments where communications are unreliable. True autonomy breaks that one‑to‑one link, allowing humans to supervise and direct teams of systems rather than individual machines. That shift is essential for supporting modern military missions, where scale, speed and resilience matter, and where operators must remain focused on intent and outcomes rather than manual control."
— Colin MacLeod, CEO and Co-Founder
Series C
£30.0M

The British Business Bank contributed £5m to the £30m financing alongside several new and existing backers.

"SatVu has created a unique technology at a time of great demand for defence innovation. They have proved the strategic value of their technology so we are pleased to provide the funding that will help them to scale and win further contracts."
— George Mills, Investment Director
Pre-Seed
€3.0M

The pre-seed round was led by Presto Tech Horizons to accelerate front-line drone autonomy deployments.

"Drone pilots are rare resources. Not everyone is a natural pilot and Russia targets them whenever they can find them. Pilots face challenges when operating drones, including electronic warfare, signals loss, and denial of GPS."
