We have advised defense AI start-up Agon on its USD30M fundraising round. Built by a European leadership team from Anduril, Applied Intuition, AWS, Cambridge Aerospace, Google, Helsing, Palantir, and Unity, Agon is building physical AI for European defense. Investors include Lakestar, Lux Capital, Northzone, and XYZ amongst others.

Agon will use the initial funding to develop autonomous systems that collaboratively perceive, decide, and act across land, sea, air, space, and cyber – the foundational infrastructure for an era of agentic warfare.

Our team was comprised of Paul Thorpe, Richard Price and Ryan Lysycia.
