Defense tech startups raise $12.3B in 2026 so far as defense primes like Lockheed Martin begin co-investing
Defense tech startups have raised at least $12.3 billion in VC funding since January 2026, surpassing 2025 totals as venture firms, defense primes and the Pentagon increasingly co-invest. Major rounds include Anduril's $5B Series H and other multi-billion financings, signaling a rapid repricing of the sector and new capital mixes with primes like Lockheed Martin investing directly.
