Swift Navigation Raises $100 Million Series D Financing Round to Bring Safe and Precise Navigation to Every Vehicle on the Planet

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18, 2022, a San Francisco-based tech firm redefining GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and precise positioning technology for automotive ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) and autonomy, industrial machine control, commercial transportation, mobile and emerging mass-market applications, today announced that it has completed a $100 million financing round. The Series D Round was led by SK Inc. and Potentum Partners with strong support from Swift's existing investors, including New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Eclipse Ventures and EPIQ Capital Group. The Series D Round included new investors: FM Capital, OVN Capital, TELUS Ventures, TWM Venture Co., Buckley Ventures, Schox Venture Capital and additional independent investors. To date, the company has raised over $200 million in funding.

"We have an amazing group of investors behind us and are honored to see the many customers who are using Swift technology at such incredible scale as they build the future of transportation and automation," remarked Timothy Harris, CEO of Swift. "Thank you to our loyal partners and investors at NEA, Eclipse and EPIQ and we welcome the support of our new investors to help us deliver precise positioning across the world."

"We are delighted to be the lead investor for this financing transaction as part of our investment strategy in high-tech software companies," said Subeom Lee of SK Inc. "Swift's high-precision positioning solution is best suited for automotive, smartphone, robotic and future smart devices with its cutting-edge, cost-efficient and hardware-agnostic technology. We believe that Swift will contribute to advancing the new era of driverless technology."

"Centimeter-level position accuracy on a continent-wide scale is impressive enough, but what really excites us is Swift's ability to provide it with extraordinary reliability, putting absolute-position data at the core of safety-critical features in automotive, automation and machine control," said David Simons, Founding Partner of Potentum Partners. "Tim and his team have built an impressive business and we are thrilled to be a part of it."

Since its Series C Round of financing, Swift has refined its global, centimeter-accurate precise positioning service and expanded its coverage across continents to meet the needs of an on-demand economy requiring higher levels of autonomy. Swift's customers span the globe and include automotive OEMs and Tier 1s, last-mile delivery providers, mobile handset and application providers and those building rail, industrial machine control and IoT platforms for mass-market applications.

Swift's technology is now powering several of the largest automotive and commercial vehicle fleets on the road today, supporting enhanced navigation and ADAS. Swift's technology improves vehicle positioning for a more efficient user experience and streamlined routing when navigating, as well as being a critical component of the ADAS system and improved safety, all resulting in cost savings. The accuracy delivered by standard GNSS is 3-30 meters, while Swift's precise positioning solution delivers accuracy in centimeters.

Swift offers a comprehensive GNSS platform, consisting of Skylark, Swift's global wide area, cloud-based GNSS precise positioning service, Starling, Swift's receiver-agnostic client software positioning engine and a wide variety of both Swift and third-party compatible receiver options. Swift's platform works with single and multi-frequency, multi-constellation automotive and commercial-grade GNSS measurement engines and chipsets, offering companies a choice in selecting the best components for their autonomous sensor suite.

Skylark is now a global network, delivering real-time, secure and highly-available precise location data across the contiguous U.S., Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia and a growing number of countries worldwide, including Canada and Taiwan-to deliver absolute positioning at the continental scale required by today's safety-critical applications. Skylark has been independently ratedagainst other CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Station) networks as providing the highest levels of safety, accuracy and availability.

Recognizing that each industry uses precise positioning differently, Swift has built specific software and receiver platforms for each application-from automotive to mobile to industrial machine control-to solve the unique problems that precision location poses for them.

Swift's technology is also at the leading edge of improvements to mobile phone positioning, supporting new applications, such as navigation, traffic and augmented reality. Swift supports customers in tracking and improving safety across continent-wide rail networks, it provides precise position (enhanced RTK) to next generation machine control and guidance systems for agriculture, construction and robotics and a host of other applications across both emerging and traditional GNSS markets.

Solarbranche vor dem Mega-Comeback?
Lange galten Solaraktien als Liebling der Börse, dann kam der herbe Absturz: Zinsschock, Überkapazitäten aus China und ein Preisverfall, der selbst Marktführer wie SMA Solar, Enphase Energy oder SolarEdge massiv unter Druck setzte. Viele Anleger haben der Branche längst den Rücken gekehrt.

Doch genau das könnte jetzt die Chance sein!
Die Kombination aus KI-Explosion und Energiewende bringt die Branche zurück ins Rampenlicht:
  • Rechenzentren verschlingen Megawatt – Solarstrom bietet den günstigsten Preis je Kilowattstunde
  • Moderne Module liefern Wirkungsgrade wie Atomkraftwerke
  • hina bremst Preisdumping & pusht massiv den Ausbau
Gleichzeitig locken viele Solar-Aktien mit historischen Tiefstständen und massiven Short-Quoten, ein perfekter Nährboden für Kursrebound und Squeeze-Rally.

In unserem exklusiven Gratis-Report zeigen wir dir, welche 4 Solar-Aktien besonders vom Comeback profitieren dürften und warum jetzt der perfekte Zeitpunkt für einen Einstieg sein könnte.
