The $300m Series C values the defence tech startup at $3.4bn following backing from DFJ Growth.
"This raise is testament to the incredible work of the entire Cambridge Aerospace team. The addition of these funds will allow us to continue to scale our manufacturing and our delivery to meet the pace of threats, and the needs of Allied nations,"
Blossom Capital led the financing round alongside Accel and prominent technology executives.
"The West is under growing pressure to reindustrialise, but that renaissance won’t be powered by net new companies alone. It requires equipping our industrial champions with the tools to harness their data, navigate the AI transition and compete on a global stage. That’s exactly why we founded Arrakis"
The London-based company raised capital from Accel, Air Street Capital, and Elder Gull to grow its engineering team and scale deployments.
"Too many critical drug development decisions still happen without a complete view of the evidence. Perceptic connects data, context, and decision-making so every insight compounds instead of dying at the next handoff."
The oversubscribed Series C round was led by Sofina and brings the company's total funding to $170m.
"In the next few years, every payment decision in a large business will be initiated, optimised or audited by AI. That shift is already underway"
The proposed funding round is reportedly led in part by Accel with backing from the NATO Innovation Fund and Oxford Science Enterprises.
