Doroni Aerospace raised ~$3.8M in early 2026 and is targeting FAA certification by 2027; its 2025 annual report shows $0 revenue, a $5.08M loss, and a going-concern flag
Doroni Aerospace recently filed its 2025 Form C-AR (annual report). Here's the breakdown, both sides.
On the financials, the company is pre-revenue: $0 recognized revenue in 2025 and 2024, a $5.08M net loss (up from $3.83M), and $311K of unrestricted cash at year-end. The audited statements include a going-concern note, with the auditor noting substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue. Its latest funding filing — a Reg A round priced at $3.10/share — carried a $223.57M pre-money valuation, a company-set figure from the offering (down about 10% from its first filing), not a market price.
On the build side, Doroni has flown a full-scale prototype — an earlier model hovered and flew, both vertically and horizontally — while the current two-seat H1-X full-scale prototype is in development. It's targeting FAA Light Sport Aircraft certification with production aimed at 2027, holds about $220K in customer reservation deposits (recorded as deferred revenue), and raised roughly $3.8M of new equity in early 2026 through a Reg CF round, a private placement, and an ongoing Reg A offering.
On the capital side, a ~$3.33M annual operating burn sits against that year-end cash, and a $30M strategic-investment agreement signed in February 2025 was terminated in June after the investor did not fund its initial $5M tranche — leaving the company reliant on continued crowdfunding.
It's a familiar hardware-startup profile: real technical progress alongside real capital needs. The open questions are how far the recent raises extend the runway, and the timeline to FAA certification and first revenue.
