Warhound raises $200 million to engineer war dogs with Anduril gear

Original: Warhound raises $200M to engineer war dogs and arm them with Anduril gear

Ben Lamm, the entrepreneur behind de-extinction company Colossal Biosciences, has raised $200 million for a new venture called Warhound, which aims to genetically engineer war dogs and outfit them with equipment from defence technology firm Anduril. The funding announcement is drawing attention for blending biotech and military applications, with commenters debating the ethical and practical implications of genetically engineered animals in warfare.

Why now: The mix of genetic engineering, defence technology and a high-profile founder makes the funding round a striking and controversial development.
