Theseus Secures $4.3M to Advance GPS-Free Drone Navigation for Military Use

San Francisco-based startup Theseus has raised $4.3 million in seed funding to develop GPS-independent navigation systems for military drones. The company originated from a viral tweet showcasing a $500 drone prototype that navigated using a camera and Google Maps. Theseus focuses on creating hardware and software enabling drones to operate without GPS, addressing challenges like signal jamming. The technology has attracted interest from U.S. Special Forces for early testing and development.
