Corridian secures $38 million in seed funding to develop ultra-large Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The Boston-based defense technology company launches with backing to advance its underwater autonomous systems. The funding supports early-stage research and engineering for large-scale AUV deployment.
Layup Parts, founded by former Anduril engineer Zack Eakin, raises $42 million in a Series A to scale its custom composite-parts business. Marlinspike leads the round, with participation from Cerberus Ventures, Pinegrove Venture Partners, Founders Fund, and Lux Capital. The Huntington Beach startup plans to hire and move into a larger facility, while serving customers in aerospace, defense, motorsports, and other industries; it has cut production lead times from weeks to hours in some cases.
