Only six months after Defense Tech Anduril has collected a huge round of $ 1.5 billion that the company appreciated at $ 14 billion, it is in conversation to collect another $ 2.5 billion, with a valuation of a maximum of $ 28 billion, sources told CNBC.
The deal would, not surprisingly, be led by Founders Fund, which is said to write a $ 1 billion check that the biggest check ever represents. While the founder of Anduril Palmer Luckey is the face of the company, it mentions five men as co-founders, including Founders Fund partner Trae Stephens. Founders Fund has been an investor in Anduril from the start and led his seed round in 2017. It also led the financing of Anduril 2024.
That previous round was to help pay for Anduril’s billion dollars Weapons Megafactory that is building it in Ohio. Sources also told CNBC that the turnover of the company of the company doubled to $ 1 billion. Anduril further refused comments.
