Rune Technologies, a company transforming military logistics through AI-powered predictive software tailored for contested, modern battlefield environments, has closed a $24 million Series A funding round. The investment was led by Human Capital with participation from Pax VC and Washington Harbour Partners, alongside existing backers Andreessen Horowitz, Point72 Ventures, XYZ Venture Capital, and Forward Deployed VC.
“Our mission is to bring military logistics sophistication in line with the prowess of our fighting capabilities,” said David Tuttle, Co-Founder and CEO of Rune Technologies. “We've seen significant demand from across the services for a product that can replace the whiteboards and spreadsheets that are currently used to track logistics operationally. This investment will allow us to accelerate our deployment of TyrOS to sustainers across the joint force.”
Rune’s flagship product, TyrOS, features an edge-first architecture that eliminates reliance on distant server processing. Intelligence is deployed directly at the tactical level, enabling decision-making without the need for continuous connectivity. Synchronization occurs once communications are reestablished, allowing operations to continue seamlessly in communication-challenged environments.
“Rune is solving the perennial problem of anticipating, planning and executing military logistics in dynamic, high-tempo and contested environments,” explained retired Major General Duane Gamble, former Army G4. “Throughout my 37-year career, military logisticians spent virtually all available time on the science of logistics. TyrOS leverages AI/ML and world-class engineering to do the science, freeing up logisticians and commanders to focus on the art of warfare. It’s a game changer.”
Rune Technologies draws on operational experience from veterans across all branches of the U.S. military, offering a practical understanding of logistics in active combat zones. By embedding engineers alongside frontline personnel, feedback is rapidly integrated into product development to ensure mission relevance.
"It's urgent that the Department of Defense keeps modernizing its core systems and software with the best technology available — and that's Rune, automating granular work so logisticians can focus on strategic decisions," says Ross Fubini, Managing Partner at XYZ Venture Capital. "We've invested in Rune twice in just a few months because it's clear they're making huge impact across multiple operational military units, and that this type of transformation is crucial right now."
TyrOS has been deployed within both U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps initiatives, with the latest funding supporting broader rollout across other branches. Rune Technologies was also recently accepted into the Palantir Startup Fellowship and completed an integration with Palantir’s Defense Ontology Software Development Kit (OSDK), enhancing end-to-end automated logistics through open architecture solutions.
This Series A funding round follows a previously announced seed round in February, bringing total capital raised by Rune Technologies in the past year to more than $30 million.
