Daniel Ek, co-founder and chief executive of Spotify, has invested €600 million in the German defense startup Helsing — a company that supplies strike drones to Ukraine.
Helsing has sold thousands of strike drones, produced in its facility in southern Germany, to Ukraine. It has also secured contracts the UK, Germany and Sweden.
Prima Materia, the investment company founded by Ek and early Spotify investor Shakil Khan in 2020, made the first significant investment into Helsing in 2021, months before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Now Prima Materia is "doubling down", Ek told the Financial Times.
"There's an enormous realisation that it's really now AI, mass and autonomy that is driving the new battlefield. We can't understate the implications of that for this conflict [in Ukraine] or really any conflict going forward," he added.
Helsing's investors also include the Swedish defense company Saab, as well as venture capitalists Accel, Lightspeed Ventures, Plural, and General Catalyst. The deal brings its total capital raised to €1.37 billion.
