Copenhagen-based deep tech startup Acodyne has raised €2.5 million in pre-seed funding to scale its unmanned eVTOL cargo aircraft for heavy-lift logistics in defence, offshore, and remote operations.
The round, jointly led by Swedish defence VC Gungnir Capital and Danish PSV Hafnium, with participation from EIFO, SAP9 Group and GreenUP IV Invest, supports Acodyne’s contribution to European and NATO logistics resilience and to Danish industrial growth in defence-tech.
To find out more, I spoke with co-founders Mads Schnack, CEO, and Jasmina Pless, CCO.
Acodyne is a Danish deeptech aerospace company developing autonomous eVTOL cargo aircraft for high-speed, heavy-lift logistics. Acodyne develops unmanned cargo aircraft for the most time-critical heavy-lift missions, combining vertical take-off and landing with fixed-wing flight at jet speeds.
The company combines proprietary ducted-fan propulsion with an AI-driven autonomy stack to enable efficient delivery of critical goods in defence, offshore and remote environments. The platform is all-electric, modular and built to deliver payloads directly to forward drop-off points where helicopters are today the only fast option.
