Anduril Industries is raising $4bn in a new funding round led by Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz, at a reported $60bn valuation. The Costa Mesa-based defence tech group is seeking the capital as it scales manufacturing capacity, including a planned Ohio facility to mass-produce aerial and maritime drones. The valuation would nearly double Anduril’s previous mark and follows guidance that 2025 revenue is on track to reach $2bn, driven primarily by US and allied defence contracts. The company had previously explored raising up to $8bn, underscoring the depth of investor appetite for defence-aligned AI and autonomous systems. The round signals how venture capital continues to flow into dual-use and defence platforms as Pentagon procurement shifts toward software-defined systems, autonomy and advanced manufacturing. At a $60bn valuation, Anduril would sit alongside the largest privately held technology companies in the US — a notable milestone for a business built around defence modernisation rather than traditional enterprise or consumer markets. #defencetech #venturecapital #AI #aerospace #startups

🇺🇸 What this means for CRG clients - This transition opens a wide opp landscape beyond the traditional defense primes. ●Q: Is this just about buying interceptor drones? ●A: No. Counter-UAS is an ecosystem problem requiring: ▪︎sensor & radar networks ▪︎electronic warfare systems ▪︎AI-assisted targeting & tracking ▪︎distributed launch & staging infrastructure ▪︎secure comms & data fusion ▪︎logistics hubs & sustainment architecture ●Q: Where can innovative firms compete? ●A: In the enabling layers of the defense ecosystem: ▪︎autonomous guidance software ▪︎counter-drone sensors & detection platforms ▪︎rapid manufacturing & additive production ▪︎energy systems & battery technology ▪︎field logistics & modular operational infrastructure ●Q: What funding pathways support these capabilities? ●A: Programs increasingly flow through: ▪︎Other Transaction Authority (OTA) consortiums ▪︎SBIR/STTR innovation programs ▪︎Defense Innovation Unit prototypes ▪︎subcontracting across the expanding defense industrial base. ■CRG operates as the conduit between innovation, government demand, & operational deployment. Through our footprint across DC/key CONUS sites, CENTCOM, AFRICOM, and INDOPACOM, we help clients: ▪︎position technologies inside emerging defense programs ▪︎build teaming structures w/ primes & integrators ▪︎develop compliant capture strategies & proposals ▪︎deploy the logistics, infrastructure & sustainment systems that make tech operational. CRG is the pathway to that deployment.

Congratulations to CEO Chris Pearson and the team at Agile Space Industries on their successful Series A financing. Veteran Ventures Capital is proud to be a key contributor in this financing, and we have been an investor and enthusiastic supporter for the past 18 months. Agile is building scalable chemical propulsion systems that can meet mission timelines without compromise.🚀 In the last 3 years, Agile revenues have tripled, a multi-year backlog has been built and the opportunity pipeline approaches $2B in value. Agile has been cash positive for more than 18 months--a rare and yet critical accomplishment in today's venture markets. This oversubscribed Series A financing will allow Agile to more aggressively invest in infrastructure growth. Agile's expanding product offerings, manufacturing throughput and test capacity will be accelerated and scaled in Colorado, Oklahoma and beyond. This team is blasting off....let's go!!
