Initial funding boost secures strategic foothold in high-growth operational-resilience technologies and accelerates path toward controlling stake
CENTENNIAL, Colo., October 31, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU) ("NUBURU" or the "Company"
, a global pioneer in blue-laser innovation advancing defense and security transformation, today announced the completion of the first phase of its planned acquisition of Orbit S.r.l. ("Orbit" .
Nuburu Defense LLC ("Nuburu Defense" has made an initial capital infusion of $1.5 million into Orbit through a subscribed capital increase, securing a 10.7% equity position. Orbit is a defense-grade SaaS company specializing in operational resilience, business continuity, and crisis-management digitalization for mission-critical organizations.
This milestone marks the beginning of Nuburu Defense’s staged path toward a controlling stake in Orbit. A further injection of $3.5 million remains planned — targeted for accelerated completion — to strengthen majority ownership and unlock deeper integration across NUBURU’s Defense & Security Hub. At the end of the second phase, Nuburu Defense will fully own Orbit.
Expanding Defense-Grade Software Capabilities
The market for operational resilience, crisis-readiness, and secure command-and-control technologies is projected at $2.9–$3.6 billion in 2025, growing more than 10% annually.
Orbit’s platform unifies real-time impact analytics, crisis communications, and IT ecosystem mapping into a continuous plan–sense–decide–act–learn cycle. Designed for environments requiring automation, responsiveness, and uncompromising security, the technology enables high-assurance operational continuity across defense and critical-infrastructure sectors.
This acquisition marks a strategic expansion of NUBURU’s platform beyond hardware, bringing forward recurring-revenue software technologies that enhance operational adoption, value creation, and long-term competitiveness.
Powerful Synergies: AI-Driven Drones + Real-Time Situational Awareness
Orbit’s technology is also expected to integrate with the recently announced drone joint venture between NUBURU Defense and Maddox Defense Incorporated.
Unmanned systems provide the sensor layer — gathering live intelligence from the field.
Orbit provides the decision layer — enabling proactive threat detection and coordinated response.
This combination supports the Company’s targeted ~$100 million annual revenue at the joint venture by 2028 and nearly $20 million revenue for NUBURU by the end of its Business Plan period.
Leadership Commentary
Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman & Co-CEO of NUBURU:
"Stage-one completion of the Orbit acquisition is a foundational step in NUBURU’s transformation into a diversified defense-resilience technology company.
"By accelerating our path toward control, we gain a strategic foothold in a high-growth software market and unlock the full potential of drone-driven threat detection paired with real-time command capabilities."
Dario Barisoni, Co-CEO of NUBURU and CEO of Nuburu Defense:
"Our immediate priority is to expand Orbit's reach by growing its client base, particularly within the defense and critical infrastructure sectors — enabling advanced mission readiness, crisis command, and operational continuity.
"Software-driven resilience is a defining requirement of modern defense, and NUBURU is positioning to lead that change."
Transaction Advisory
NUBURU engaged a Big 4 U.S.-based professional services firm as financial advisor for the Orbit transaction.
Related-Party Review
Before finalizing the first phase by Nuburu Defense, Orbit was wholly owned by Alessandro Zamboni, who also serves as NUBURU’s Executive Chairman and Co-CEO. In accordance with corporate governance requirements, the transaction has been reviewed by an external financial advisor, who also provided the pricing analysis of Orbit, and has been approved by NUBURU’s independent non-executive directors.
The total consideration of $12.5 million includes a $2.4 million net cash advance to Orbit’s owner, to be paid in tranches and which accounts for the partial offset of a $1.35 million NUBURU receivable. The remaining balance will be settled through NUBURU equity securities by the end of 2026, subject to stockholder approval.
