Salesforce has agreed to acquire Rune Technologies, a startup that builds AI software to help the U.S. military predict supply needs and manage logistics from the field, for $375 million in cash and stock, Resilience Media reported. The acquisition underscores Salesforce’s push into defense tech through Missionforce, its business unit serving national security and defense agencies.
据 Resilience Media 报道，Salesforce 已同意以 3.75 亿美元的现金和股票收购 Rune Technologies。该公司是一家初创企业，致力于开发人工智能软件，以帮助美国军方预测补给需求并管理前线物流。此次收购凸显了 Salesforce 正通过其服务于国家安全和国防机构的业务部门 Missionforce，进一步进军国防科技领域。
Since Missionforce launched last year, its business has grown 80% year over year, driven in part by a new 10-year, $5.6 billion contract with the U.S. Army, the company said in a blog post. By integrating Rune’s frontline logistics data, Missionforce will extend beyond back-office administrative planning to support battlefield operations.
该公司在一篇博客文章中表示，自 Missionforce 去年成立以来，其业务同比增长了 80%，部分得益于与美国陆军签订的一份为期 10 年、价值 56 亿美元的新合同。通过整合 Rune 的前线物流数据，Missionforce 的业务将从后台行政规划扩展到支持战场行动。
Since its founding in 2024, Rune has raised a total of $30 million from investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Point72 Ventures, and IQT, a CIA-backed nonprofit venture firm formerly known as In-Q-Tel. The startup was last valued at $127 million when it raised a Series A led by Human Capital last year, according to PitchBook.
自 2024 年成立以来，Rune 已从 Andreessen Horowitz、Point72 Ventures 以及由中央情报局支持、前身为 In-Q-Tel 的非营利性风险投资公司 IQT 等投资者处筹集了总计 3000 万美元的资金。据 PitchBook 数据显示，该初创公司去年在由 Human Capital 领投的 A 轮融资中，估值为 1.27 亿美元。
Salesforce has been on an acquisition spree this year. In addition to Rune, the CRM giant agreed to buy AI agent platform Fin (formerly Intercom) for $3.6 billion, bought Qualified for $1.2 billion, and signed an agreement to buy Listen Labs after the startup walked away from a $125 million Series C term sheet at a $1.5 billion valuation, as TechCrunch reported. Salesforce didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Salesforce 今年一直在进行疯狂收购。据 TechCrunch 报道，除了 Rune 之外，这家 CRM 巨头还同意以 36 亿美元收购人工智能代理平台 Fin（前身为 Intercom），以 12 亿美元收购了 Qualified，并与 Listen Labs 签署了收购协议——此前该初创公司放弃了一份估值为 15 亿美元、金额为 1.25 亿美元的 C 轮融资条款清单。Salesforce 未回应置评请求。
