The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.
Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 17%.
Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Series D+ — a $100M–$400M round). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the defense sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.
