The start-up specializing in defense technologies Anduril Industries announced on Wednesday that it had raised $5 billion, thus doubling its valuation to $61 billion. The latest round of funding for this Californian start-up was led by venture capital companies Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. Here are some details about this fundraiser:
* Anduril said that over the past year it had more than doubled its revenue to $2.2 billion in 2025, and had nearly doubled its workforce.
* Anduril’s announcement follows a Reuters report in March that said the company was seeking to raise about $4 billion from Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.
* Anduril was valued at $30.5 billion during a funding round in June 2025.
* Defense technology companies are now taking center stage in funding, with investors rushing to seize the opportunity created by the ongoing war between the United States and Iran.
* The availability of abundant private capital also allows companies to raise larger funds and stay private longer.
* Anduril develops solutions, including a wide range of sensors and drones, and has established itself as demand for low-cost autonomous defense products continues to grow.
