The $1B Anduril Check, Still Backing Defense Scale
Visit websiteWhy it made the list
Founders Fund has longstanding national-security investment leadership and continues to participate in scaled defense financings after making one of the sector's largest disclosed venture checks.
Proof point
Founders Fund and Sequoia backed Stark's €500M defense financing announced in 2026. That followed Founders Fund's $1B investment in Anduril's $2.5B June 2025 round, reported as the firm's largest-ever check.
