UNION

Seed Round in 2025
For nearly a century, the energetics sector- factories, munitions, and propellants have been stagnant, plagued by a lack of innovation and sophistication. Despite a total addressable market of nearly $6 trillion, this industry has largely been dominated by outdated technologies and entrenched legacy players who have failed to adapt, eroding their credibility and trust currency across the global stage. The U.S. energetics enterprise is now outmatched, outclassed, and outranged by our adversaries. Our ability to project power and influence outcomes for the U.S. and our Allies is crippled. The U.S.’s position has weakened as our adversaries advance. The West is vulnerable. Our edge is gone. Enter: UNION.
