About Rownd
Rownd AI builds fully autonomous drones that use local edge intelligence and global LTE/5G/SatCom failover to eliminate the 1:1 pilot bottleneck anywhere on earth or space. We are currently field-deployed with active customers across U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) via our defense business line, ArcEdge AI. Operating out of Raleigh, NC and Wisconsin, we leveraged our team's background in mobile hardware optimization and zero-trust architectures to build true cognitive autonomy directly onto physical aircraft. While we are heavily focused on defense technology today, our ultimate mission is scaling this physical autonomous infrastructure across commercial enterprise edge applications.
