London-based defencetech venture studio Gallos Technologies has raised $50 million (£35 million) in new funding as it moves to expand its backing of early-stage companies developing technologies for defence, security and resilience.
The funding round remains open to a select group of additional strategic investors.
It was co-led by Ventura Capital and Aberdeen Investments, with Lansdowne Partners also participating.
New Capital to Support Emerging Defence Startups
Gallos Technologies plans to deploy the newly raised capital toward creating and scaling a new cohort of defencetech startups.
The venture studio focuses on companies developing technologies aimed at addressing major challenges across defence and national security.
Its investment strategy covers businesses from Series Seed through Series B, with a particular focus on startups that have demonstrated clear market traction and are developing technologies with potential applications across critical security and resilience markets.
Focus Areas Span AI, Cybersecurity and Autonomous Systems
The studio’s investment portfolio is expected to target several technology sectors, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data analytics.
Gallos also backs companies working on defence technologies, resilience solutions, autonomous systems and advanced sensors.
These areas reflect the growing role of technology in modern security operations and defence capabilities.
Gallos Founded by Josh Burch and Dean Jones
Gallos Technologies was co-founded by Josh Burch and Dean Jones, who established the venture studio around the development and financing of mission-driven technology companies.
The new funding gives the firm additional resources to identify promising founders, invest in emerging technologies and help early-stage defencetech businesses scale beyond their initial development stages.
Venture Studio Targets Companies With Market Traction
Rather than focusing solely on emerging concepts, Gallos Technologies targets startups that have already begun demonstrating market traction.
Its approach combines investment with venture-building support designed to help companies develop and expand their technologies.
With the latest $50 million raise, the London-based studio is positioned to broaden its activity across a rapidly developing defencetech landscape, particularly in areas where advanced software, artificial intelligence, autonomous technology and sensing systems are becoming increasingly important.
