Reveal Technology, a veteran-founded defense tech company, has completed a $30 million Series B funding round led by Ballistic Ventures, with participation from several investors, including defy.vc and Booz Allen Ventures.
Founded by former U.S. Marine Corps officers and Stanford technologists, Reveal focuses on developing real-time intelligence tools for mission-critical environments that operate without cloud connectivity. The company has experienced significant growth, with a tenfold increase in revenue year over year.
The company’s products are deployed across the U.S. Army, Special Operations Command, Marine Corps, and allied forces, including the Ukrainian Defense Forces and the UK Ministry of Defence. Notable offerings include Farsight tactical mapping software and Identifi mobile biometric systems.
As part of the funding round, Kevin Mandia, Co-founder of Ballistic Ventures, will join the board, alongside Gen. Peter Pace and Les Craig. Reveal positions itself as a software-first alternative to traditional defense contractors, with plans to expand into electronic warfare and robotics.
Founded in December 2018 and based in Bozeman, Montana, the company previously raised $11.2 million in a Series A round in 2024.
KEY QUOTES:
“On the frontlines, whether a global conflict or a public safety operation, success increasingly hinges on having access to the best intelligence available offline, under fire and in real time. That’s exactly what Reveal delivers. Reveal’s technology accelerates human decision-making where and when it matters most. It’s built by people who have lived the mission, and we’re proud to support Garrett and the team.”
Kevin Mandia, Co-founder and General Partner of Ballistic Ventures
“Investors are starting to see what operators have known for years: the most valuable tools are the ones that work when everything else breaks down. This financing helps us double down on building products that work offline, under fire, and in real time.”
Reveal CEO and founder Garrett Smith, who continues to serve as a Marine Corps reserve officer, and who co-founded the company in December 2018 after experiencing operational technology gaps during his combat service
“Reveal is building one of the most important defense technology platforms of our time, one that brings real-time, mission-critical intelligence directly to the edge. Their ability to operate without the cloud or constant connectivity is a game-changer for teams in the field. We were drawn to Garrett and the team from its inception due to their deep operational experience, technical rigor, and unwavering commitment to the warfighter. Defy is proud to support Reveal as they scale into a multi-product company delivering cutting-edge, decentralized solutions for national security.”
