🚀Mach Industries Valuation Soars to $1.8B in Series C
Self-Driving Startup Skyrockets with DoD Contract and Rocket Tech
TL;DR
Self-driving vehicle startup Mach Industries raises $300 million at a $1.8 billion valuation, nearly quadrupling its value in a year. The company is developing five autonomous vehicles and has secured a DoD contract for a new Navy aircraft.
Mach Industries just raised $300 million in Series C funding, pushing its valuation to $1.8 billion — that's up from $470 million last June. This massive raise comes as the company gears up for production of at least three autonomous vehicles and a Department of Defense contract for a new Navy aircraft. If you're tracking self-driving tech or military contracts, this is worth watching. Mach now has five vehicles in development: Viper, Glide, Stratos, Dart, and Pike. They've also acquired Exquadrum to control their own rocket motor production.
