Jeh Aerospace, a rapidly growing aerospace manufacturing startup, has raised $11 million in a Series A funding round. The investment was led by Elevation Capital, with existing investor General Catalyst also participating.
In just 18 months, Jeh Aerospace has grown to a team of over 100 people, delivered more than 100,000 flight-critical components, and secured $100 million in long-term contracts with global aerospace leaders. The company’s success is attributed to its software-defined manufacturing approach, which uses advanced software, automation, and AI to create flexible and reliable factories.
Earlier this year, the company also secured a strategic investment from IndiGo Ventures, the venture capital arm of India’s largest airline. This reflects Jeh Aerospace’s leadership in innovative manufacturing and its ability to provide trusted solutions to global aerospace firms.
With operations in both the U.S. and India, Jeh Aerospace employs a “friend-shoring” strategy that leverages access to the U.S. market and India’s skilled workforce. The company plans to use the new funding further to expand its presence and operations in both regions.
