We at @svangel are so excited to partner with Furientis alongside amazing partners like Silent Ventures (@jamoses92), Bessemer Venture Partners (@NextBigTeng) and Liquid 2 Ventures. One of the defining constraints in modern air defense systems is their ability to be produced in meaningful quantity. Designing cost effective systems that incorporate scalability from day one prototypes is key to beating this constraint. Excited to see Furientis launch publicly today as @brody_franzen, Aris and the team work to address that challenge through interceptor systems engineered for scalable production.

Excited to finally share this update. @SilentVentures is privileged to lead @Furientis' $5M Pre-Seed raise alongside some incredible partners, including @BessemerVP @svangel @humbavc @VanderbiltU @Liquid2V and angel founders from @anduriltech @ereborbank and @armada_ai. Under the seasoned leadership of Brody Franzen and Aris Simsarian, the company is manufacturing missile interceptors for machine-on-machine dispatch. Never before has America's magazine coverage been so at-risk. The prior administration boldly proclaimed how "we're only giving our allies the old stuff." To be clear, there is no "old stuff." There's just "stuff," and these inventories are nearly depleted. Never before have we been so vulnerable. Furientis is the fix. While we did not plan for this raise to coincide with the @DeptofWar's rapid replenishment and procurement announcement, I think I speak for the team, fellow investors, and Americans writ large in thanking @SecWar Hegseth for modernizing acquisition frameworks and, instead of simply paying lip service to U.S. national security requests, actually actioning initiatives that protect, strengthen, and amplify the Western defense apparatus.

Silent Ventures is proud to announce we've led @Furientis' $5M Pre-Seed round. Missile defense has moved from "passively convenient" to headline news in a matter of months as the world watches Israel’s Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems intercept waves of Iranian drones, (un)guided conventional missiles, and ballistic missiles. What was once considered niche defense technology is now unmistakably mainstream - and the lesson is clear: whoever outproduces affordable mass denial capabilities at scale will hold a decisive battlefield advantage. This is why we’re thrilled to back Furientis. Led by Brody Franzen and Aris Simsarian, the company is building next-generation interceptor systems engineered for high-volume production. Like other great neo-primes, Furientis is attacking the core issue: depleted magazines, painfully slow replenishment cycles, and exorbitant pricing structures. Through rapid design-build-test loops, vertical integration, and manufacturing capacity, the company has embraced first principles to deliver what current and future threat environments demand. We’re joined in this $5M Pre-Seed by our good friends at @BessemerVP @svangel @humbavc @VanderbiltU @Liquid2V and repeat founders from @anduriltech @ereborbank and @armada_ai. This investment comes at a pivotal moment. We commend @SecWar and the @DeptofWar for pushing real acquisition reform and accelerating efforts to rebuild America’s arsenal of freedom. We're extremely excited to support a team that understands both the urgency on the battlefield and the realities of the factory floor. Welcome to the portfolio, Furientis! 🇺🇸 Thanks to @LilyMaeLazarus and @FortuneMagazine for covering! fortune.com/2026/05/14/fur…
