Watchtower Labs emerges from stealth with up to $35M seed to build AI logistics platform for military planners
Watchtower Labs, a Bellevue startup founded by a former Marine special operations officer and two ex-Microsoft engineers, emerged from stealth with seed funding to build AI software that models hundreds of logistics futures and generates executable options for military planners. The company says the seed round is $35 million led by Shield Capital and Conviction (Shield separately cited $30 million), and its platform focuses on transport, spare parts, fuel, munitions, routes and time-sensitive operations while keeping humans as final decision-makers.
