What Greypoint Industries does

We build LEGION, a drone swarm that identifies, geolocates, and tracks every emitter on the battlefield using the enemy’s own radio signals. LEGION enables our warfighters to precisely track previously obscured targets like jammers, command posts, and drone operators so they can proactively respond to threats instead of reacting to them.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build LEGION, a networked swarm of drones that fly over the battlefield, searching for enemy radio signals. LEGION can identify, geolocate, and track all emitters - including jammers, command posts, and operators - by listening passively. This gives teams on the ground a real-time map of hidden enemy positions so they can be proactive instead of reactive.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the talent and community to support ambitious robotics and defense work. Our team is already here and can access the hardware, software, and funding ecosystem needed.
