With $25 million in funding, Traysar publicly launched today at the 2026 Reindustrialize Summit, introducing a new class of autonomous "subterra" platforms engineered to penetrate and secure the domain beneath the Earth's surface.
"Traysar is pioneering the doctrine and developing the technology required for U.S. military supremacy across the subterranean domain, a war-fighting realm steeped in history dating back to WWI, through the Vietnam Conflict, and is now quickly emerging as the defining 21st century battlefield." said Jackson Moses, GP at Silent Ventures, whose seed investments include Saronic and Castelion.
Traysar's engineering team, including early engineers from SpaceX and The Boring Company, is fielding autonomous platforms built for subterranean maneuver and infrastructure survivability starting with:
- An excavator-class autonomous tunnel breaching and tactical exploration platform that rapidly navigates, maps and clears contested underground networks.
- A high-speed, rapid-burrowing autonomous platform that creates precision subterranean access points and delivers critical payloads beneath the surface.
The same underground domain adversaries use to shield missiles, leadership and command infrastructure can be used by allied forces to harden bases, secure manufacturing and preserve logistical continuity under attack. Traysar builds for both sides of that equation.
The seed round was joined by Lux Capital, Ora Global, and strategic angel investors including Steve Blank, and founders from Anduril and Erebor among others. Additional investors include NeverLift VC, Mana, Impatient Ventures, New Vista and Entree Capital, among others. Traysar was co-founded by Yadin Soffer, Asher Katz, and Gilad Adin.
