@a16zWe're thrilled to invest in Covenant, emerging from stealth after raising $250M. The West’s long-range strike capabilities cost too much to field in quantities a real conflict can demand. @HQ_Covenant's answer is Anthem – a low-cost, long-range, heavy-payload missile designed to be manufactured at scale. Already, Anthem has flown 250+ test flights since August 2025, with government customers under contract and production lines going up in Dallas and Germany. We’re excited to partner with @KaufmanMic, Abby Denburg, and the entire Covenant team as they make long-range defense affordable.23d
