D3 Invests in TYTAN, a Defense Tech Company with Production Facilities in Ukraine

TYTAN Technologies, a European defense technology company, has closed a €30 million Series A funding round.

  • The round was led by specialized defense investment firms Armira and the NATO Innovation Fund (NIF), with participation from existing investors Visionaries Club, OTB Ventures, Lakestar, Magnetic, D3, and 10x Group.
  • The new financing brings the company’s total funding to €46 million.
  • TYTAN emphasized that all capital raised to date has come from European investors.
  • D3 is an investment firm launched in Ukraine by Eric Schmidt that focuses on defense technologies.

The fresh capital will allow TYTAN to scale production capacity across Germany, Ukraine, and other allied markets; accelerate development of its AI-based interceptor systems; and deepen integration across all layers of air defense, including next-generation missile systems.

  • Founded in 2023, TYTAN has been actively operating in Ukraine and has secured several government contracts, including agreements to supply thousands of METIS interceptor drones to the Ukrainian armed forces.
  • In Germany, the company received an order from the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) to deliver AI-based control infrastructure and strike systems designed to protect military facilities.

According to TYTAN, the new funding round reflects a broader structural shift in European defense. Private capital is increasingly complementing government procurement efforts to accelerate technological sovereignty and strengthen industrial resilience among allied nations. Historically, European investment firms have been reluctant to back defense companies, favoring less complex industries. But in the fifth year of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, that dynamic has changed.
