Rune Technologies is transforming military logistics with its AI-based software TyrOS, which was designed for the modern battlefield. The company recently secured $24 million in Series A funding, led by Human Capital, with contributions from Pax VC, Washington Harbour Partners, and existing investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Point72 Ventures.
TyrOS employs an edge-first architecture, embedding intelligence at the tactical level, which enables it to operate independently without constant connectivity to remote servers. This innovative approach enhances real-time decision-making.
With a team experienced across all branches of the U.S. military, Rune understands logistical challenges deeply and collaborates closely with warfighters for timely code updates. TyrOS has already been deployed with the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, and the new funding will help expand its reach into other military branches. Recently, Rune was selected for the Palantir Startup Fellowship and integrated with Palantir’s Defense OSDK to enhance automated logistics capabilities.
KEY QUOTES:
“Our mission is to bring military logistics sophistication in line with the prowess of our fighting capabilities. We’ve seen significant demand from across the services for a product that can replace the whiteboards and spreadsheets that are currently used to track logistics operationally. This investment will allow us to accelerate our deployment of TyrOS to sustainers across the joint force.”
David Tuttle, Co-Founder and CEO of Rune Technologies
“Rune is solving the perennial problem of anticipating, planning and executing military logistics in dynamic, high-tempo and contested environments. Throughout my 37-year career, military logisticians spent virtually all available time on the science of logistics. TyrOS leverages AI/ML and world-class engineering to do the science, freeing up logisticians and commanders to focus on the art of warfare. It’s a game changer.”
Retired Major General Duane Gamble, former Army G4
“It’s urgent that the Department of Defense keeps modernizing its core systems and software with the best technology available — and that’s Rune, automating granular work so logisticians can focus on strategic decisions. We’ve invested in Rune twice in just a few months because it’s clear they’re making huge impact across multiple operational military units, and that this type of transformation is crucial right now.”
