Defense technology startup Anduril Industries Inc. has raised $1.5 billion in a new funding round and plans to spend hundreds of millions on a new facility to manufacture its rockets, underwater vehicles and other autonomous weapons systems at greater scale and speed.
The deal, which values Anduril at $14 billion, is one of the largest venture capital financings of the year so far, and reflects the company’s success getting government contracts, as well as rising investor enthusiasm for defense technology companies.
Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and Sands Capital co-led the Series F funding round, which has been in the works for more than a month. The deal nearly doubles the startup’s valuation from its previous funding round in 2022, which raised $1.48 billion.
Anduril’s planned manufacturing facility is called Arsenal-I, and will sprawl over more than 5 million square feet, or roughly the size of 87 football fields. The location hasn’t yet been determined. As Anduril builds out its manufacturing footprint, the company is also investing in custom software, and plans an additional manufacturing site, which will be located in the US or in an allied country.

Revolv Space is a NewSpace startup based in Noordwijk (The Netherlands) and Turin (Italy). Space goods and services are not fully monetized. Commercial payloads on small satellites, such as cameras, sensors and antennas, operate less than 20 percent of the time in orbit due to the limitations of small satellite buses. Revolv Space is solving this problem by designing, manufacturing and testing the next generation of critical components that will enable continuous payload operation and full monetization of space assets.
Filippo Oggionni, Co-Founder and Commercial Director, shares his impressions from the INNOVIT program: “We want to expand in the United States and the INNOVIT program was a great way to plant some seeds in that direction. It is not yet time for us, but meeting new local investors, partners, customers and even mentors through the program has been a great way to start the process and will allow us to be ready when the time comes. I am also very grateful for this experience for many other reasons, one of them being that being in this ecosystem gives a lot of energy, people have a lot of ideas, the mentality is really different from Europe.
In this cohort I met great founders, publishing entrepreneurs, so I thank them because I learned a lot from them and it was really inspiring; I also thank the Innovit staff for their support.“
