Icarus: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Always-on intelligence and connectivity for Defense. Icarus builds autonomous, solar-powered aircraft that fly at 60,000 feet for weeks at a time, above the clouds harnessing the power of the sun, but never too close. Acting as a Cell Tower in the Sky, it’s the U-2 spy plane reborn in 2025, except each costs $100K and can be built by the thousands. The future of warfare is persistent swarms in the Stratosphere.
Icarus has raised $500k across 1 funding round on record, the most recent a Pre-Seed of $500k announced in Dec 2025.
That round is below the $5.5M median round size for Artificial Intelligence companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Icarus Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Icarus is left off this page rather than filled in.
