Jan 13 (Reuters) – Military-focused platform Onebrief said on Tuesday it has raised $200 million in a funding round that gave the company a post-money valuation of $2.15 billion, doubling it over six months.
Defense technology startups have lately attracted growing investor interest as governments increase spending on software, data and artificial intelligence to modernize military operations.
The latest round, which included both primary and secondary capital, was led by Battery Ventures and Sapphire Ventures, with new participation from Salesforce Ventures and additional investment from General Catalyst and Insight Partners.
Onebrief last raised $20 million in a Series C round in June last year at a valuation of $1.1 billion.
The company said the funding will help it scale and reinforce its platform as the backbone for command operations, bringing planning, wargaming, simulation and live decision support into a single unified system.
The proceeds will be used to expand its AI Assist product and bolster the platform’s resilience in war time.
The funding has also enabled Onebrief to acquire Battle Road Digital, which develops gaming technology for defense and national security.
The acquisition adds real-time wargaming and operational modeling capabilities to Onebrief’s platform, the company said.
“Integrating with Onebrief allows us to rapidly bridge the gap between simulation and live operations,” said Josh Henderson, founder of Battle Road Digital.
Onebrief’s platform gives military teams a single workspace to plan missions, run simulations and make real-time decisions, blending live data and AI to speed command in high-stakes operations.
