NODA raised a $25M Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners in February 2026, with backing from Booz Allen Ventures, and works with the U.S. Department of War, the UK Ministry of Defense, and defense primes.

Founded in 2025 by Kanav Hasija (ex-Innovaccer) and Tanmaya Kala (ex-DPR), the company raised $14M led by Bessemer Venture Partners and is already deployed with DPR Construction and Innovo Group.
