Kova Labs Raises its Initial Funding Round

Kova Labs has secured its initial funding round, led by Lifeline Ventures and Tuomas Rasila to focus on building under-canopy autonomy for aerial systems.

Kova Labs exists to redefine how humans and machines fight together to protect the Western world. We believe autonomy is not just the next step in defence, it is the foundation of all future systems. With this new backing, we accelerate the development towards truly proprietary autonomy.

Our vision is to bring mission-critical autonomy into every aerial operation. From intelligence gathering to resupply and communication links, our systems are designed to take over navigation, perception, and execution in the hardest conditions. This frees our superheroes to focus on what matters the most: staying on top of the situation.

Starting with unlocking under-canopy flight, we are opening domains that have long been out of reach for aerial systems. The future we are building is one where autonomy is accessible, scalable, and ever-present, delivering 24/7 capability across all domains on the battlefield.

To our investors, partners, and everyone who believed early, thank you.
