Anduril alumni launch new defense tech startup with backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Point72 Ventures
Briefly

Rune, a newly founded defense tech startup in Roslyn, Virginia, secured $6.2 million in seed funding led by Andreessen Horowitz. Established by ex-Anduril employees, Rune addresses the inefficiencies in military logistics management, which currently relies heavily on manual processes. Their software, TyrOS, improves logistics by predicting resupply needs and automating data collection. The funding reflects a broader trend where investors are increasingly backing defense startups to modernize military operations and improve overall efficiency in the field.
The current process of deciding whether a particular unit needs more food, fuel, or ammunition is almost entirely a manual, human-centric process.
TyrOS gathers data manually tabulated by frontline units, autonomously tracks supplies, predicts future resupply needs, and determines when and where to restock.
This $6.2 million funding round demonstrates a growing trend in the defense sector where investors are increasingly focusing on modernizing military capabilities.
