Senra Systems, a software-driven manufacturing company modernizing wire harness production, announced it has raised $65 million in a Series B funding round and plans to accelerate its expansion with a third factory location. The round brings the company’s total funding raised to over $112 million and was co-led by Lowercarbon Capital and Interlagos, with participation from General Catalyst, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund, Dylan Field, CIV, 8VC, The Friedkin Group, Jaws Estates Capital, Sozo Ventures, and Alumni Ventures.
Senra manufactures complex wire harness systems used in aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles, satellites, defense systems, and other advanced platforms. The company’s manufacturing model is powered by Amp, its proprietary software platform that integrates quoting, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain management, and production workflows into a unified system, enabling faster onboarding, reduced production variability, and accelerated delivery timelines compared to traditional fragmented manual processes.
Factory 2, Senra’s newly opened second factory in Cypress, expanded the company’s production footprint by 5X, giving aerospace and defense customers a second site for prototype-to-production programs. The facility adds approximately 80,000 square feet of manufacturing space and supports the company’s ability to grow from producing 1,000 harnesses on average every month to 10,000 by next year, with Senra bringing the facility online within months of signing the lease.
The company recently hired former SpaceX CIO Ken Venner, who led the development of enterprise systems and manufacturing infrastructure that scaled SpaceX’s production and launch cadence, as its chief technology and product officer, where he is responsible for overseeing the manufacturing platform and operational infrastructure to support Senra’s next stage of growth.
KEY QUOTES:
“One of the biggest bottlenecks in aerospace and defense manufacturing today is the skyrocketing demand for wire harnesses.”
“Wire harnesses are the nervous system behind every advanced platform, yet they’re still built on PDFs, spreadsheets and tribal knowledge. It’s a 100% manual assembly process. We started Senra to solve one of the most overlooked, but consequential bottlenecks in the aerospace and defense ecosystem. This funding will support that mission including the planned Factory 3.”
Jordan Black, Co-Founder and CEO, Senra Systems
“Wire harnesses sit behind everything that turns on, and they’re still built by hand. Senra automates production and trains the workforce to run it, which turns a chokepoint into capacity the country can build on.”
Caie Kelley, General Partner, Lowercarbon Capital
“Senra is building a fully integrated design and manufacturing solution for a critical capability needed to accelerate production across aerospace, defense, energy and compute.”
Achal Upadhyaya, Founder, Interlagos
“Our goal is not simply to manufacture products faster. We are building the infrastructure, systems and workforce needed to support the future of American manufacturing and the industrial base.”
“My focus is on turning Senra’s process, technology and operational systems into a cohesive platform that drives the long-term scale and efficiency needed to do just that.”
Ken Venner, Chief Technology and Product Officer, Senra Systems
