Series A Funded Government and Military Startups

Series A rounds in government and military skew toward a few high-ticket deals, led by Castelion’s $70M round dated 2025-01-29. Two other entries match that $70M level (Chaos on 2023-03-06), while most remaining disclosed rounds sit well below it (e.g., Rune Technologies $24M on 2025-07-21; Privateer $57M on 2024-05-06). The largest disclosed amount thus stands out as the top of a small upper tier rather than a broad distribution.
The 18 most recent entries also show clustering by geography and time. San Francisco appears repeatedly (Authorium 2025-04-10, Pano 2023-07-10, City Innovate 2023-05-18), and several rounds concentrate across late 2023 into 2024 (e.g., Mach Industries $79M on 2023-10-04; Chaos $70M on 2023-03-06; Darkhive $21M on 2024-09-10). Disclosed amounts range from $2M (ActionStreamer on 2024-02-06) to $79M (Mach Industries on 2023-10-04), with the smallest deal acting as a clear low outlier in the set.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed Series A round in this government and military list, and how does it compare with the rest?
Mach Industries’ $79M round (2023-10-04) is the largest disclosed amount across the 18 rows. Several deals cluster in a higher tier around $70M (Castelion $70M on 2025-01-29; Chaos $70M on 2023-03-06), but most other disclosed rounds are substantially lower, including Rune Technologies at $24M (2025-07-21) and ActionStreamer at $2M (2024-02-06).
Do any cities recur often enough to look like a cluster, rather than one-off locations?
San Francisco is the most visible repeat location, with Authorium ($8M, 2025-04-10), Pano ($17M, 2023-07-10), and City Innovate ($12M, 2023-05-18) all based there. Beyond that, the list is more dispersed, with single entries in places like Arlington (Rune Technologies $24M, 2025-07-21) and Huntington Beach (Mach Industries $79M, 2023-10-04).
Which rounds land in the most recent time window shown, and what does that imply about timing concentration?
From the most recent date onward, the last 90 days of entries include Rune Technologies ($24M, 2025-07-21) and Authorium ($8M, 2025-04-10), while SingleFile Technologies ($9M, 2025-02-19) also sits near the latest cluster. More broadly, the set spans 2021-01-26 (SOMA Global) through 2025-07-21 (Rune Technologies), with multiple rounds in 2023–2024 rather than a single burst.
How wide is the disclosed Series A funding spread, and is the low end an outlier?
The disclosed range spans from $2M (ActionStreamer on 2024-02-06) to $79M (Mach Industries on 2023-10-04). That $2M entry is a clear low outlier relative to the upper-tier deals around $57M–$79M (e.g., Privateer $57M on 2024-05-06; Castelion $70M on 2025-01-29).
Is there any noticeable split between large-ticket deals and the rest (a practical tiering view for outreach)?
A small upper tier appears around the $57M–$79M band: Mach Industries $79M (2023-10-04), Privateer $57M (2024-05-06), and $70M deals from Castelion (2025-01-29) and Chaos (2023-03-06). Outside that tier, several entries cluster closer to mid-to-lower disclosed levels such as Darkhive $21M (2024-09-10), Adranos Energetics $20M (2022-04-26), and Lassen Peak $6M (2023-12-14).
