StirlingX, the UK-based drone operations and data intelligence company, has closed its extended seed round at a total of £8 million. The SAFE investment, which builds on the initial seed funding secured over the summer, was led by the RCM Private Markets Fund managed by Rokos Capital Management, with participation from new and existing global investors including GALLOS Technologies, ONE9, and a distinguished group of angel investors.
This milestone places StirlingX among the top 5% of European technology start-ups by total seed capital raised and reinforces the company’s trajectory as a leader in secure drone and data systems for allied nations and critical national infrastructure.
The extended funding will accelerate ongoing product development, support international market growth, and expand recruitment across engineering, AI, and data science. It also enables StirlingX to scale its manufacturing and R&D operations at its Cambridge and Oxford sites to meet growing government and commercial demand.
StirlingX is actively delivering on live critical national infrastructure projects, supporting clients such as Murphy and National Grid across pre-construction planning, construction-phase operations, surveying, and compliance.
