About
9 Mothers is an Austin-based defense startup building AI-powered counter-drone systems for the U.S. Government. Their flagship product, Edda, is a 23 kg autonomous counter-small-UAS turret that uses passive acoustic detection and an in-house visual model to engage fast-moving FPV suicide drones at close range — a threat legacy systems cannot handle. Founded in 2024 by former operators, the company is part of YC's Spring 2026 batch and has reported $1.6M in sales to the Department of Defense.
