Ukrainian defense tech startup MaXon has secured investment from US venture firm Green Flag Ventures, the firm announced. «We’re impressed not only the ambition of the technical vision, but the pace and seriousness of execution. MaXon has already reached TRL 8 with validation in real combat conditions,» the investors said.

The size of the investment has not been disclosed. According to public information, Green Flag Ventures typically writes checks ranging from $100,000 to $1 million.

What’s Known

• MaXon is a member of the Brave1 defense technology cluster. The company is developing an air-to-air air defense system featuring its own guidance technology and high-speed interceptors. The system is designed to protect large areas from drone attacks.

«MaXon is addressing one of the defining challenges of modern warfare: the reality that adversary drones are no longer deployed one at a time, but in high-volume swarms. Traditional air defense systems are capable but prohibitively expensive at scale; neither does manual interception.

MaXon’s approach is different; a closed-loop system that combines high-speed interceptors, long-range detection and tracking, and an integrated targeting and guidance software stack to enable centralized, autonomous defense of cities and critical infrastructure,» Green Flag Ventures said in a statement.

• In August 2025, MaXon closed its first funding round, raising $350,000 from venture capital firms Freedom Fund and Defender Ventures. The company then moved to its next round to scale production and add new capabilities to the system.
