# Anduril Secures $5B in Funding, Doubles Valuation to $61B

Anduril, a leading defense tech company, has announced the closure of its Series H funding round, raising $5 billion at a valuation of $61 billion. This significant influx of capital was led by returning investors Thrive Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Background

This funding round more than doubles Anduril's valuation from just under a year ago, when it raised $2.5 billion at a $30.5 billion valuation. The company's revenue has also seen substantial growth, with a doubling in 2025 to $2.2 billion, as stated by CEO Brian Schimpf in a blog post announcing the raise.

Market Context

Anduril's success reflects the growing interest in defense tech among venture investors. The company has been at the forefront of this trend, which has seen significant investments in various defense tech startups:

  • Shield AI raised $1.5 billion in Series G funding at a $12.7 billion valuation.
  • Hermeus raised $350 million at a $1 billion+ valuation.
  • Helsing is reportedly close to raising a new $1.2 billion round at about an $18 billion valuation.

Anduril's Expansion

Anduril has been expanding its operations, both within the U.S. and internationally. Recent contract wins include:

  • A contract with the Dutch Ministry of Defense.
  • A U.S. Army contract for battle manager software, utilizing its Lattice platform.
  • Participation in a contract to develop a space-based 'golden dome' defensive system for America.

Sharing the Spotlight

While Anduril is a clear leader among VC investors, the Department of Defense is indicating that it will not rely solely on one rising-star startup. This is evident in the Air Force's selection of Shield AI's software to work with Anduril's 'Fury' autonomous fighter jet, rather than granting the entire contract to one company.

Conclusion

Anduril's latest funding round and valuation demonstrate the company's continued growth and success in the defense tech industry. With over $11 billion raised from investors, Anduril is poised to remain a major player in this space. As the company continues to expand its operations and secure new contracts, it will be interesting to see how it navigates the evolving landscape of defense tech and venture investment.
