Seneca AI Drones Can Launch Instantly To Deliver Powerful Fire Suppression

Seneca, a resilience technology company, launched publicly with $60 million in funding, reportedly the largest venture capital round in fire technology history. Led by Caffeinated Capital and Convective Capital, the company develops autonomous aerial suppression drones capable of carrying over 100 pounds, operating at 100+ PSI, and responding to fires within 10 minutes. The AI-powered drones launch remotely with only approximate fire locations, targeting the critical early window before fires spread into megafires. Developed with leading US fire agencies, including San Bernardino County Fire and the Aspen Fire Department, Seneca’s technology addresses escalating wildfire costs estimated at $1 trillion annually, which threaten 115 million Americans. The funding will enhance capabilities and deploy systems for the 2026 fire season, aiming to protect 500 million acres by 2035.
