Defense startup Shield AI has secured 1.5B USD in Series G funding at a 12.7B USD valuation, a 140% increase from last year's 5.3B USD. The deal was led by PE firm Advent and a JPMorganChase investment group, with additional backing from Blackstone. The valuation jump follows the company's selection as a provider for the US Air Force's Collaborative Combat Aircraft drone program. https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/26/defense-startup-shield-ai-lands-12-7b-valuation-up-140-after-u-s-air-force-deal/ #Tech #Startup #News #DefenseTech #ShieldAI

Very, very interesting article … and, truthfully, *extremely* worrying!

The technologies that are being developed, both for military & “civilian” usage, by the likes of #ShieldAI, #Palantir, #Anduril and many others, will inevitably soon be used in acts of repression against peaceful protesters and others as imperialism “comes home”!

The company’s new CEO, Gary Steele, aims to capitalise on this momentum by scaling the business and achieving $1 billion in annual revenue by 2028. https://fortune.com/2025/12/21/shield-ai-ukraine-defense-tech-gary-steele/?eicker.news #tech #media #news
