Chaos Industries, the Hawthorne-based military intelligence startup, announced in mid-November it raised $510 million in fresh funding, putting the company at a $4.5 billion valuation. The more-than-half a billion-dollar round was led by Valor Equity Partners with additional participation from previous investors like Accel and 8VC. The round came a mere four months after the company already raised $275 million in series C funding back in May. In total, the company has raised more than $1 billion since it was founded in 2022. “Autonomous threats are compressing decision time on every front,” Antonio Gracias, the founder, chief executive and chief investment officer at Valor Equity Partners, said in a statement. “Chaos is developing the sensing and timing capabilities needed to restore that time advantage for U.S. and allied forces.” It’s been a banner year for Chaos, which also landed two federal contracts at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. One contract came out of a $10 million appropriation to jumpstart the development of a new radar system, and the other was a $1.9 million award given to Chaos by the Air Force’s Tactical Funding Increase program.
