Arda raises $160 million Series A at a $1.5 billion valuation

Khosla Ventures announced it co-led Arda's $160 million Series A, with participation from Altimeter Capital and Accel. Arda founder Bob McGrew said the company was founded in 2025 and over the past year developed its platform with Anduril as a design partner, helping manufacturers design and operate manual assembly lines and speed products into production; next it will build automated assembly lines that can be reconfigured as quickly as manual ones. Khosla Ventures said Arda has entered every division at Anduril.
