#Startup News: Defense technology firm Anduril Industries has plans to start producing “Roadrunner,” a jet-powered drone that can be used for a variety of military operations. Founded in 2017, the Costa Mesa, Calif.-based company made headlines in December 2022 when it raised $1.48 billion in a Series E funding round which was led by Valor Equity Partners. It was one of the largest single funding rounds generated by a U.S. startup in the past year. The company’s last known valuation, based on that funding, was $8.48 billion, which was nearly double the company’s valuation as of June 2021.
