Second Front Systems (2F), a public-benefit software company focused on enabling the delivery of mission-critical software solutions, announced today the closing of its $70 million Series C funding round. Salesforce Ventures led the round, which included new investors Battery Ventures and existing investors NEA, Moore Strategic Ventures, and Artis Ventures.
2F has a major role in enhancing the U.S. government’s technological agility, particularly within the Pentagon and DoD. It has recently ramped up its international expansion, which is highlighted by its partnership with NATO. And 2F’s Game Warden deploys commercial and government solutions to classified, air-gapped, regulated, and government environments worldwide. Game Warden is trusted by leading organizations, including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Learn to Win, and DEFCON AI.
Michael Brown, a Battery Ventures general partner, has joined the board as an observer. And 2F recently expanded its leadership by appointing Josh Bosquez as CTO, Jason Weiss as CTO-Public Sector, and former U.S. Senator Martha McSally to its board of directors.
KEY QUOTES:
“Since Second Front’s beginning, our guiding vision has been to make it easier for commercial technologies to contribute to global security. This mission still rings true to this day. Our team has proven that we can help remove barriers between commercial software companies and the U.S. government and its allies—to ensure that dollars go further and better capabilities get to mission owners faster. To ensure the best technologies support the most critical customers, we are excited to deepen our partnerships with U.S. and allied governments to power software for the free world.”

“We are excited to invest in Second Front, one of the defense technology leaders transforming how the United States and its allies gain access to cutting-edge technology. We want the U.S. government to have access to innovative software deployment strategies, and companies like Second Front help bridge the gap between the DoD and technology through their growing platform. We believe this latest funding round will support the company’s continued growth and success.”
