PICOGRID, INC.

Picogrid is a defense technology company headquartered in El Segundo, California, focused on integrating mission-critical systems across various domains. Its core mission is to protect service members and civilians by enabling disparate military and public safety systems to work together seamlessly. The company aims to build the foundational infrastructure for a new defense industrial base by addressing the fragmentation of modern military hardware and software.

Picogrid offers a suite of hardware and software products designed to unify sensors, platforms, and operators. Key offerings include the Legion API, a software platform for integrating, tasking, and coordinating mission assets, and Orion C2 for command and control. The company also provides Expeditionary C2 Nodes, a family of rugged hardware (Lander, Helios, Portal) that delivers edge compute, assured networking, and multi-path communications to tactical environments. These solutions support diverse applications such as base security, satellite operations, air defense, and wildfire intelligence.

In recent news, Picogrid successfully closed a $45 million Series A funding round in May 2026, led by Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing its total disclosed funding to over $57 million. The company also secured a $9.3 million SBIR Phase III contract with the U.S. Air Force in February 2026 for AI-driven counter-drone software. Co-founded by Zane Mountcastle (CEO) and Martin Slosarik, Picogrid is expanding its manufacturing capabilities, having opened a new factory in El Segundo in May 2025 and planning another site in Oklahoma for 2026. The company is positioned as a critical enabler for modern defense, providing a vendor-agnostic integration layer for military and allied forces.
