Defense-technology startup Mach Industries has raised $300 million in a Series C round valuing it at $1.8 billion, the latest sign of heavy investor interest in defence tech.
Marquee investors
The round was led by Infinite Capital and Ribbit Capital, with backing from Bedrock Capital, Sequoia Capital and Khosla Ventures. The capital will fund development and scaling of the company's defence systems.

Venture investors have increasingly backed companies at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, autonomy and national security. Mach's raise reflects a broader 2026 trend of large cheques flowing to startups building strategically important technology.
