Hadrian raises $1.37B for automated factories

Hadrian raised $1.37 billion at a $7.87 billion valuation to expand an AI- and robotics-powered manufacturing network that now covers nearly 3 million square feet across four sites, according to the company’s Series D announcement. The financing will add factories, R&D, and production lines for munitions and autonomous systems, putting real factory capacity behind the physical-AI thesis explored in Bezos’s $41 billion Prometheus bet. Industrial builders should file away the scale: capital is moving from models that design physical systems into automated plants that can manufacture them.
