The founders fund led one other huge round for the startup of Anduril’s defense technology with an investment of $ 1 billion as part of a recent increase in $ 2.5 billion, the largest check that the company has ever written. Current investors also agreed, said the spokesman of Anduril, said Techcrunch.
Anduril has now doubled his valuation to $ 30.5 billion along with this series G increases. The spokesman claims that the round was over 8 times overwritten, which suggests that many more investors desired to buy than the number of stocks that Anduril sold.
Anduril, which produces an autonomous weapon and software for controlling them, says that recent financing was collected after the company doubled its revenues in 2024 to about $ 1 billion.
The company also enjoys the wind from receiving a huge contract of the American army to develop recent AR/VR headphones for soldiers. The contract was originally awarded to Microsoft with a total budget of $ 22 billion, but was transferred to Anduril in February. This agreement is such a good thing that even the founder of Anduril, Palmer Luckey, publicly forgave his former Meta employer last week, when each corporations announced a partnership in creating devices for the project.
Chairman and co -founder Anduril Trae Stephens, who is also a partner of the founder’s fund, revealed recent financing in Interview on Bloomberg television.
