Superangel co-leads Sky Spy’s $1.6M pre-seed funding round

15 December 2025
Sky Spy, a dual-use technology company developing compact signal intelligence (SIGINT) systems for contested and congested environments, has raised $1.6 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed round. The round was co-led by Superangel and Expeditions Fund, with participation from Freedom Fund, Sunfish Partners, Crosscourt Ventures, and Material Ventures. The funding will be used for go-to-market, launching production, and expanding its team to deliver fully autonomous AI-driven systems.

Sky Spy was founded to address a critical gap in SIGINT in today’s saturated signal environments. Lessons from the war in Ukraine have highlighted that forces contend with thousands of civilian, commercial, and military transmitters. In practice, many units have been forced to lean on visual intelligence due to the failure of traditional ground and airborne SIGINT to deliver reliable, timely results in dense, contested environments – leading to 80% of small, high-priority targets being missed.

Founded by a Ukrainian-origin team and now operating across the US and EU, Sky Spy’s multinational team combines technical expertise with operational experience from active combat zones. “Sky Spy was built by people who’ve seen how unreliable intelligence costs lives. Our mission is simple: to give forces real-time awareness in the spectrum because the side that dominates the spectrum dominates the war," said Arsenii Hurtavtsov, CEO of Sky Spy.

Sky Spy has already attracted the attention of several world-leading UAS producers and is integrating its technology into next-generation tactical ISR platforms, introducing a new capability and data layer for intelligence operations. The company is carefully selecting its first partners to deploy the system at scale.

Jaan Kokk, Senior Associate at Superangel, said: “From the first meeting, SkySpy impressed us with their deep technical talent and real operational insight. We believe they have the rare ability to move fast, solve hard problems, and deliver capabilities that work where it matters.”
