Do you have an eye for detail?

And a mind for discovery?


We are passionate about human progress and obsess over how to push humanity forward in exciting, engaging, innovative, and interesting ways. We believe that a key part of that is developing the technologies and infrastructure enabling us to thrive in any environment. We get excited about the hard problems that make everyday life easy.

About us…

Crow Industries (CI) exists to expand life throughout the Universe.

Lao Tzu once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Our approach to reaching the stars is methodical and logical, and therefore our path to infinity begins right here on Earth.

Who we are.

We are an innovative deep-tech startup developing advanced autonomous robotic solutions to revolutionize mining and defense industries.

History.

Crow Industries was founded in 2018 by lifelong advocate of exploration and space settlement, Dr. James Crowell. At NASA, James designed, developed, and deployed instrumentation and robotic systems to explore extreme environments all over the globe, as well as worked on spacecraft to explore the Moon and Mars, in orbit and on the surface.

Our technologies.

Our technologies will dramatically increase efficiency, save thousands of lives, and enable the much-needed transition to clean energy. Mastering extreme environment applications here on Earth today will give us the technological capabilities and operational know-how to achieve our mission of tomorrow.

As we transform how business-as-usual is done here on our home planet, we will define how business-as-usual is done on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Highlights.

Crow Industries was among 10 companies worldwide to be selected for Techstars Industries of the Future accelerator program, completed June 2023.

Who backs us.

Our team partners with top-tier investors and advisors who specialize in solving the world's biggest problems through emerging technologies. We are venture-backed as of September 2023!

Join us in shaping the future of our species, empowered by rugged and intelligent robots.

And you…

More important than the technologies we develop is the people we develop. As part of the CI team, you’ll be a key player in imagining and creating the cutting edge of society’s future.

We believe that the strongest teams are comprised of people with diverse backgrounds from all walks of life.

We are committed to changing the world and having fun along the way, while supporting each other’s hopes and dreams.

We are a culture of ambition, tenacity, and hard work coupled with empathy, openness, and camaraderie.

If you aren’t a dramatically better person when you leave CI, both professionally and personally, then we didn’t do our job.
