- Anduril, a defense technology company, raised $5 billion in Series H funding, doubling its valuation to $61 billion. This signals continued strong investor interest in the defense sector and AI-driven technologies, potentially boosting sentiment for related publicly traded companies. However, the impact on broader US equities is limited.
Another year, another massive influx of capital for Anduril: the funding round that was rumored to be in process in March has officially closed. Anduril has raised a $5 billion Series H round at a $61 billion valuation, led by returning investors Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, the company announced Wednesday.
This is more than double the valuation it landed just under a year ago, when it raised $2.5 billion at a $30.5 billion valuation led by Founders Fund. (Founder’s Fund invested a $1 billion check, the largest check it has ever written, it told TechCrunch at the time.)
