Harpoon Raises $1.3M Pre-Seed

Harpoon, America’s venture firm, has secured $1.3 million in new investment capital.

This funding round underscores the firm's continued commitment to its unique investment thesis, focusing on early-stage founders developing technologies vital to U.S. power and national resilience.

Since its inception in 2018, Harpoon has positioned itself as a venture firm purpose-built for America’s resurgence, recognizing the growing importance of geopolitics in the venture landscape.

The firm invests in companies that contribute to national resilience, having built a portfolio of over 60 companies that have collectively secured more than $1 billion in U.S. government contracts.

Harpoon's mission is to back bold leaders shaping the next era of American innovation, working closely with founders to navigate complex government procurement processes.

The capital raised will enable Harpoon to accelerate its investment strategy, further expanding its reach to promising early-stage companies aligned with its core mission.

The firm plans to deploy these funds to identify and support more founders who are developing critical technologies, from geostationary communications satellites to AI for drug discovery and sustainable chemical manufacturing.

This investment will strengthen Harpoon's capacity to provide what it calls a "tactical advantage" to its portfolio companies, extending beyond traditional capital provision.

Looking ahead, Harpoon aims to deepen its impact on the American innovation ecosystem.

The firm is committed to continuing its work side-by-side with founders, helping them secure significant government contracts and scale their technologies.

This strategic funding positions Harpoon to further solidify its role in fostering the technological advancements essential for U.S. power and global competitiveness in the coming years.
