True Anomaly has raised $650 million in Series D funding at a $2.2 billion valuation, bringing total capital to $1 billion since its August 2022 founding. The round landed four days after the Space Force selected True Anomaly among 12 companies for Golden Dome space-based interceptor prototypes under $3.2 billion in OTA agreements.

True Anomaly, a Colorado-based startup that builds autonomous spacecraft for orbital combat:

• Raised $650 million in Series D at a $2.2 billion valuation.
• Has brought its total capital raised to $1 billion.
• The round was co-led by Eclipse and Riot Ventures, with new investors Paradigm, Atreides, G Squared, The Private Shares Fund, and VanEck joining existing backers Accel, Menlo Ventures, ACME Capital, Space VC, Meritech Capital, Narya, and 645 Ventures.
• Stifel Bank provided $50 million in debt.

The company was founded by Even Rogers, a US Air Force officer who served nearly a decade in space operations and authored six foundational texts on tactical space warfare. His co-founders, Daniel Brunski, Kyle Zakrzewski, and Tom Nichols, met Rogers in the 4th Space Operations Squadron.

The Golden Dome selection, four days after funding, positions True Anomaly as the sole focus on exclusive space defence among selected companies, betting on a potentially massive Pentagon procurement for space-based interceptors.

The fundraising trajectory reflects the space-to-defence pivot reshaping VC’s relationship with the military.

True Anomaly raised:

• $17 million in Series A (April 2023)
• $100 million in Series B (December 2023)
• $260 million in a later round
