Furientis Raises $25M to Scale Production of Affordable Missile Interceptors
Benchmark, one of Silicon Valley's most prominent venture capital firms, has made its first dedicated defense investment by backing Furientis with $25 million in funding. The capital will enable Furientis to scale manufacturing of its low-cost missile interceptors, targeting a market where affordable air defense solutions are increasingly in demand. The move signals growing VC interest in defense technology, particularly systems that can be produced at scale and lower price points than traditional military interceptors.
