Summary
Helsing, the Munich-based defense tech startup, just secured an eye-popping $1.8 billion in Series E funding—making it Europe’s most funded defense startup. With global investors like Dragoneer, Lightspeed, Goldman Sachs, and even Canada’s CPP Investments pouring in, the cash is fueling a surge in battlefield tech as Europe ramps up defense spending post-Ukraine. Born in 2021 with AI for real-time battlefield analytics, Helsing now builds autonomous drones, underwater surveillance, and military aircraft—all already deployed with European governments and Ukraine, backed by German funding.
