$25M Series A Powers Senra’s Harness Revolution
June 18
Senra Systems Secures $25M Series A to Modernize Wire Harness Design, Led by Dylan Field & CIV with additional backing by General Catalyst, Sequoia, Founders Fund, a16z, 8VC, and Pax
The $350 billion precision assembly market is one of the most underappreciated but essential engines of American manufacturing. Every complex system relies on intricate, component-rich assemblies that must work flawlessly, whether it's used in aircraft, spacecraft, electric vehicles, or life-saving medical equipment.
At the center of it all: the wire harness.
Wire harnesses connect everything. They power the sensors, avionics, comms systems, and control surfaces that make modern technology possible. But while the products they support have evolved rapidly, wire harness design and production remain decades behind — slowing down innovation and introducing costly risk.
A Legacy Problem in a High-Speed World
Despite being mission-critical, harnesses are often the last component to be designed and the first needed on the production floor. Manufacturers still rely on outdated tools like Excel, Visio, and PDFs to create them — and on manual, error-prone processes to build them.
The result: long lead times, inconsistent quality, and chronic bottlenecks across the most advanced sectors of the economy. The skilled labor pool is shrinking, demand is growing, and traditional suppliers can’t keep up.
A New Standard for Precision Assembly
Senra Systems was founded in 2023 to solve this. Led by former SpaceX engineers Jordan Black (CEO) and Ben Shanahan (CTO), we experienced these pain points firsthand — from long supplier delays to globe-spanning vendor audits, just to find someone who could meet production timelines.
We knew the industry needed a better way. So we built it.
Senra combines proprietary design software with an assembly-as-a-service model to transform how manufacturers design, procure, and produce wire harnesses. With Senra, customers can go from concept to fully assembled harnesses up to 3x faster, with dramatically less overhead and hassle.
“The future of American manufacturing isn’t just automation — it’s configuration. We started Senra to solve a long-standing, overlooked problem in the industrial supply chain. Wire harnesses are complex and critical, yet companies of all sizes still struggle to source and build them reliably.” – Jordan Black, CEO & Co-Founder, Senra Systems
Trusted by Industry Leaders
Since launch, Senra has partnered with nearly every leading aerospace and defense company, including Anduril, along with top innovators in automotive, industrials, and healthcare. From satellites and aircraft to cars, tractors, and medical equipment, our harnesses are trusted across sectors that drive and protect daily life in the U.S.
Our goal is to be the most dependable harness partner in the world — delivering what our customers need, when they need it, with zero surprises.
Backed by the Best
We’re proud to announce a $25 million Series A, led by Dylan Field & CIV, with continued support from General Catalyst, Sequoia, Founders Fund and Andreessen Horowitz. This round also includes new participation from 8VC and Pax.
The funding will enable Senra to expand its manufacturing capacity and accelerate growth, particularly in the aerospace and defense sectors. With plans to launch its proprietary design software later this year, Senra will continue scaling its platform to serve Fortune 500 manufacturers — eight of which are already customers.
We’re just getting started.
