Drone startup Neros has raised $250 million in a round co-led by Sequoia that triples its valuation to $2.5 billion as it expands beyond strike drones into autonomous systems and drone interceptors. CEO Soren Monroe-Anderson and Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire join Bloomberg to discuss plans to ramp up drone production, the race to build a US supply chain independent of China, and why they ultimately see a path to producing one million drones a year. They join Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.” (Corrects description of Sequoia’s involvement in Neros funding in headline.)

America needs to get the whole supply chain for batteries moving yesterday. Pushing EV’s out of the US isn’t helping this at all, that was a huge mistake of the current administration
