Dominion Dynamics has completed a CAD21 million (USD15.2 million) seed funding raise, the company announced in January. This brings the total raised since launch in late 2025 to CAD26 million, according to a company statement.

The funding is “accelerating what we're doing”, Eliot Pence, founder and CEO of Dominion Dynamics, told Janes on 4 February.

“It allows us to dig deeper into Auranet, which is our principal mesh network platform… It allows us to build a common operating picture based on what Auranet assets are seeing,” he said, adding that a variety of sensors can be integrated with the system.

“What we have now built out is a visualisation, what the military calls a single pane of glass, that allows a commander to see everything in a particular operational zone,” Pence explained.

Auranet will support Operation ‘Nanook', Canada's annual northern sovereignty exercise, which begins in mid-February. About 50 reservist Canadian Rangers will “traverse over 4,000 km on the edge of the Northwest Passage on snowmobiles”, he said.

“We have equipped them with Auranet, our nodes essentially, so they are able to, in near-realtime ingest information and push that up to the common operating picture so that the commander can see, feel, [and] hear everything that's happening with that group, even in places where there's no connectivity,” Pence said.

This is the “main push coming out of the seed round”, he said, adding that it also enables new product opportunities.
