Isengard Industries Inc
New accelerator entry · 2026-06-25 · the record
In their words
Isengard Industries is not another drone company. We build sovereign production: the means for allied nations to make precision-strike and counter-drone systems by the thousand, on their own soil, at a fraction of what the primes charge. We call it Weapons of Mass Production. The Arsenal of Democracy, rebuilt for the drone age. More to come, and only where it helps. You know how to reach us.
What the record says
Founder at Isengard Industries Inc. Previously co-founder/CEO at Terminal Autonomy, scaling to $60M revenue with customers including U.S. Army, NATO, and Ukrainian armed forces. Raised $15M+ from investors. Prior CEO at Sonder Design (listed on Forbes) and Combat engineer in Australian Defence Force. Studied Engineering at University of Sydney.
I'm a co-founder of Isengard Industries. We build attack drones and counter-drone interceptors that allies manufacture locally at a fraction of prime cost. Before Isengard I served as an Australian Army Officer. I have spent a decade in private equity and private credit. I ran Balmoral, a Defense Investment Bank, and have led diligence and structuring on defence-tech deals across Australia, Ukraine and the Gulf. I'm also completing a PhD on economic warfare and hybrid threats.

Is this you?
If you're behind Isengard Industries Inc: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
