Still private: Skydio has not filed for an IPO. Axon (Nasdaq: AXON) is a minority investor: its November 2026 deal is expected to lift its stake from about 15% to about 37% on a fully diluted basis, using non-voting preferred shares, and Axon calls it a “minority investment” (Axon 8-K). Skydio is not an Axon subsidiary. The remaining share purchases are due to close in Q4 2026 and Q1 2027.

Methodology & status definitions

How each row is labelled and calculated.

Closed round

A primary round announced by the company or confirmed in the press, bringing new money to the company.

Tender

A sale of existing shares (employee tender, secondary or buyback). It brings no new primary capital, so it is Status, not the last-closed valuation; no step-up or multiple.

Valuation ÷ run-rate

Post-money valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). Where the run-rate is “crossed” or “over” a figure, the multiple is shown as “under X×”. No row qualifies here unless shown, so no multiple is invented.

What is not a separate row

Seed, Series A and Series B (2015–18); government contracts and grants; the KDDI and Axon commercial partnerships (except where they invested in a round).
