German drone maker Stark Defence hits unicorn status with billion euro valuation
Stark Defence reached a valuation over one billion euros after a recent funding round. This comes as Berlin now plans a major drone order from the firm.
Stark Defence recently surpassed a valuation of more than 1 billion euros after securing a new round of investor funding a few weeks ago. This milestone marks a significant expansion for the company, reflecting a major influx of private capital into the industry.
According to reporting by Manager Magazin, the recent funding round included participation from the Founders Fund (Peter Thiel) as well as several European investors. The involvement of Peter Thiel and other high-profile backers helped push the company's market value past the billion-euro threshold during the early weeks of 2026.
