Bedrock

Bedrock is an ocean technology company that designs, builds, and operates autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and a cloud-native data platform for high-resolution seafloor mapping, monitoring, and intelligence. The company's vertically integrated approach combines custom AUVs with onboard edge computing that enables QA/QC and performance monitoring during data acquisition, delivering key insights to stakeholders without requiring AUV recovery. Bedrock's AUVs can launch from any vessel anywhere, leveraging existing assets with no specialized gear to turn vessels into force multipliers, with regional flexibility and low logistics design enabling rapid response to weather, ship schedules, and dependable availability. The platform delivers high-resolution geophysical survey data meeting stringent IHO special order standards, equipped with multibeam echosounder (MBES), side-scan sonar (SSS), magnetometer (MAG), and sub-bottom profiler (SBP) sensors. Bedrock serves critical ocean infrastructure industries including energy development for offshore wind, oil and gas, and emerging renewables with site characterization, installation planning, and ongoing monitoring; critical infrastructure for ports, harbors, and submarine telecommunications networks with seabed change detection and sediment monitoring; security and defense for marine domain awareness and protection of underwater infrastructure with discreet data collection; and foundational science and research through partnerships with research institutions for ocean mapping and emerging subsea technology testing. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, Bedrock has raised $62.9M in Series A funding from investors including Eniac Ventures, Primary Venture Partner, Quiet Capital, R7 Partners, Northzone, Valor Equity Partners, Autopilot, Costanoa, Harmony Partners, Katapult, Mana Ventures, Charge Ventures, and Harmony Venture Partners.
