Defence Tech Investor and Builder Gallos Raises $50M

Gallos Technologies, a defence tech investor and builder, has secured $50 million in funding from a group of investors.

The funding round, which is still open, was led by Ventura Capital, an early backer of Spotify, and asset manager Aberdeen Investments. Existing investor Lansdowne Partners, the investment management firm, also participated in the round.

Gallos Technologies was founded in 2021 by Josh Burch, a former national security official, and Dean Jones, an armed forces veteran who serves as CEO of its portfolio company StirlingX, a drone and data intelligence startup. Sir Jeremy Fleming, the former director of the UK's security and cyber agency GCHQ, serves as an advisor to Gallos and chairman of StirlingX.

The funding will be used to support Gallos's next cohort of company investments and investment in its platform. Gallos backs and builds defence, security, and resilience startups.

Gallos's portfolio includes StirlingX, a drone and data intelligence startup, and AI Score, a data prevention startup, in which Fleming is an advisor and Burch is a non-executive director.

The funding comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and governments investing in new tech on the battlefield. Sir Jeremy Fleming stated, "The world faces rapidly growing and evolving digital threats, fuelled by geopolitical instability and sharpened by the speed at which new and emerging technologies are being turned against us. Gallos's work enhances our ability to protect both people and businesses, in the UK and other allied nations."
