Leonid Capital Partners (“LEONID”), a private credit firm specializing in alternative financing solutions for US Government Contractors, today announced an investment in Asylon Robotics, a cutting-edge robotics company driving innovation in national security applications. This unique financing agreement, tailored to leverage Asylon's Air Force contract portfolio, will provide crucial capital to accelerate the company's critical work in safeguarding the nation.

Asylon Robotics develops and deploys next-generation robotic systems for hazardous and remote environments, directly addressing pressing national security needs. Their technology protects U.S. personnel by performing high-risk tasks in dangerous and austere environments.

As a dual-use technology company, Asylon partners with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to build new strategic capabilities and helps protect commercial sites with a 24/7 robotic security service. Over the past 18 months, Asylon has been awarded multiple Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts with the U.S. DoD, as well as a $12M STRATFI contract with the Air Force Global Strike Command.

The loan agreement between Leonid and Asylon represents a groundbreaking, forward-thinking approach to financing defense technology. LEONID’s deep understanding of government contracting dynamics, coupled with their innovative financing approach, allowed them to structure a loan specifically aligned with Asylon's Air Force contract values.

"As we strive to deliver an unparalleled experience for our customers, LEONID has proven to be a great partner," said Damon Henry, Co-Founder and CEO of Asylon Robotics. "Their partnership has helped play a role in scaling our business across various domains and advancing the development of life-saving new capabilities in robotics."
