In the race to rebuild the grid for a new electrified age, one company just hit a major voltage spike. Infravision, the aerial robotics disruptor born in Australia and scaled across the Pacific, just raised $91M in a Series B led by GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth titan, with Activate Capital and Hitachi Ventures joining the flight. Energy Impact Partners, who led their $23M Series A in 2023 alongside Equinor Ventures and Edison International, doubled down. When long-term capital stays in the cockpit, it’s not luck, it’s proof the tech actually works.
Cameron Van Der Berg and Chris Cox didn’t stumble into this. They engineered it, literally. A robotics mind and a military vet who first met on the Great Barrier Reef, both obsessed with solving real-world grid problems faster, cleaner, and safer. Their company started as an idea to replace helicopters and high-risk crews with something smarter. Today, it’s a force turning transmission lines into tech lines. Headquartered in Sydney’s Camperdown with boots (and drones) on the ground in Austin, Gilroy, and Coolum Beach, they’ve gone from local innovators to global infrastructure architects.
At the center is the TX System, a hybrid of autonomous drones, electric pullers, and intelligent stringing gear that can run 10 miles of line a day. No drama, no dangling linemen, no helicopters burning fuel at $3K an hour. The Thor electric puller adds muscle, while their patented aerial anchor system locks lines with precision most humans can’t match. It’s not a gimmick, it’s a grid-level revolution.
PG&E in California called them in when disaster struck. Powerlink tapped them for the Genex project in Australia, one of the world’s most complex grid builds. Sterlite Power in India brought them on for 400kV–765kV transmission jobs. Since 2020, every Australian utility that strings lines from the sky has called Infravision. That’s not market share, that’s market ownership.
Now with $91M in new juice, Infravision is scaling US manufacturing, expanding ops teams, and accelerating deployment across North America. The world needs 10M new miles of power lines by 2030 to keep up with AI, EVs, and electrification. Someone has to build it, and Cameron Van Der Berg and Chris Cox aren’t waiting for permission. They’re wiring the future, one flight at a time.
This isn’t about drones, it’s about energy, speed, and the quiet confidence of a team that knows it’s building the skeleton of the clean power era. Some companies chase buzz. Infravision builds the current.
