Onodrim Industries

Onodrim Industries is a European defence technology company developing a defence industrial platform to address national security challenges such as border protection and resilient supply chains. The company was founded in 2025 by Aistis Šimaitis, Alexander Blessing, and Christian Garrett and is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with a registered office in London. In February 2026, Onodrim Industries raised €40 million in a seed funding round led by Founders Fund, Lakestar, and General Catalyst.

The company's founders bring experience from the data and technology sectors. CEO Aistis Šimaitis previously worked at Palantir Technologies and advised the Lithuanian government. CTO Alexander Blessing also comes from Palantir's engineering ranks. Director Christian Abraham Garrett completes the founding team. Their stated goal is to address the fragmentation within Europe's defence ecosystem, where different systems, manufacturing capacities, and data are often siloed and unable to communicate across borders. The Russian invasion of Ukraine highlighted vulnerabilities in European military readiness, including ammunition shortages and slow procurement, creating the market opportunity Onodrim aims to fill.

Operating on a B2B model, Onodrim's platform focuses on advancing technologies in three main areas: defence manufacturing, multi-domain sensing, and networked systems. The objective is to provide European governments and their allies with greater control over their own "resilience stack" by designing defence-specific hardware and software from the ground up. This approach is intended to strengthen deterrence, improve readiness, and enable seamless interoperability among allied forces. The company plans to use its seed funding to accelerate product development, scale up manufacturing, and establish research and development sites across Europe.
