Ex-Marine Akhil Iyer and Microsoft vets launch Watchtower Labs with $35M seed to apply AI and simulation to military logistics

Watchtower Labs, founded by ex-Marine Akhil Iyer and two former Microsoft engineering leaders, raised $35 million to build AI and simulation software that helps military planners anticipate and allocate logistics like fuel, parts, munitions, and personnel. The Bellevue startup’s seed round was led by Shield Capital and Conviction, with participation from Founders Fund and In-Q-Tel, and the platform accepts plain-language queries to simulate hundreds of possible futures.
