The Tel Aviv-founded defence-AI firm has closed a $31M Series B led by PSG Equity, bringing total funding to $60M as it scales US operations from Washington DC.


Airis Labs, the defence-AI startup that has spent the past two and a half years operating in stealth, emerged publicly on Tuesday with $60m in total funding, including a $31m Series B led by US growth-equity firm PSG Equity.

The round brings in TLV Partners, Stepstone Group, Redseed Ventures, and angel investors including Eyal Waldman, the former Mellanox co-founder and chief executive whose company was sold to Nvidia for roughly $7bn in 2020.

The company’s pitch is narrower than the broad “AI for defence” banner under which a generation of startups has been raising capital.
