A 140% Surge in Valuation in One Year: Who's Writing Checks for Defense AI?

In March 2026, military AI company Shield AI raised $2 billion in funding round, led by Advent International and J.P. Morgan, with additional participation from Blackstone. Its valuation surged 140% to $12.7 billion within a year. Similarly, competitor Anduril is reportedly seeking new funding at a $60 billion valuation. Both companies have seen valuations grow fourfold in just over two years, far outpacing revenue growth, indicating that the market is pricing them based on future platform potential rather than current earnings. This trend is mirrored in the public market, where Palantir’s market cap grew to over $420 billion by late 2025. Shield AI’s products include the MQ-35 V-BAT drone and the upcoming X-BAT autonomous fighter, while its Hivemind AI engine was selected by the U.S. Air Force for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. A key driver is the structural shift in defense tech funding. Private equity firms like Advent, KKR, and Carlyle are increasingly investing in long-term defense infrastructure, moving beyond traditional venture capital. In 2025, global defense tech VC deals reached $49.1 billion, with 87% going to late-stage companies. The U.S. Department of Defense’s FY2026 budget request allocated $13.4 billion specifically for AI and autonomous systems, with $9.4 billion dedicated to aerial drones—directly aligning with Shield AI and Anduril’s offerings. This clear demand signal, combined with institutional capital moving into defense infrastructure, marks a shift from speculative investment to asset-level allocation in the defense AI sector.

Delphi Labs Founder: Two Weeks Deep in China's AI, Shenzhen Hardware Shocks Me, Software Valuations Scare Me

Delphi Labs co-founder José Maria Macedo spent two weeks in China meeting AI founders, VCs, and public company CEOs. His key takeaways: - **Hardware ecosystem in Shenzhen is impressive**, with systematic reverse-engineering of Western products and rapid iteration cycles. Companies like Bambu Lab are highly profitable and scaling fast. - **Software ecosystem is weaker than expected**. Chinese open-source models are strong, but closed-source models lag behind Western counterparts. GPU access remains constrained, and revenue gaps are significant (e.g., Anthropic’s $6B ARR vs. Chinese model companies at tens of millions). - **Founder profiles are highly accomplished** (top universities, Big Tech experience) but often lack rebellious, original vision. The education and VC systems favor execution over true innovation. - **Valuation bubbles exist** at both early and late stages. Some private AI companies are valued at 400x ARR, far exceeding Western multiples. Humanoid robotics is also overheating, with many pre-revenue companies targeting high-valuation IPOs. - **Information asymmetry favors Chinese founders**, who are highly informed about Western markets and tech trends. Many are building globally first, combining Chinese engineering with Western go-to-market strategies. Macedo believes the real alpha lies in finding non-traditional founders who break the "resume template" optimized by local VCs.
