Furientis Secures $25 Million Seed Round Led By Benchmark For Missile Interceptor Production

Furientis raised $25 million in a seed round led by Benchmark to mass-produce low-cost missile interceptors, following a $5 million pre-seed round in May. Co-founders Brody Franzen and Aris Simsarian, both aerospace and defense engineering veterans, launched the one-year-old startup to address U.S. missile shortages, and Furientis has already secured a funded Pentagon contract for mid-range interceptors.
