\\ Entrepreneurs First believed in Hadean from the very beginning, and their continued support means a great deal as we enter our next phase of growth. EF’s conviction in our team and mission has been instrumental in helping us build a sovereign defence technology platform with global relevance.”
Craig Beddis, Cofounder & CEO, Hadean
EF was Hadean’s founding institutional backer, supporting the company from its earliest stages. This follow-on investment reflects EF’s ongoing conviction in Hadean’s mission, leadership team, and ability to deliver deployable, mission-critical technology for modern defence and security environments.
The investment will support Hadean’s continued scaling of its wargaming, command & control, and battlefield training capabilities into live operational settings, expansion of deployments with the UK Ministry of Defence, accelerated growth in the United States, and broader application of Hadean’s technology as a high-impact dual-use platform.
\\ We like to back companies building at the frontier of what matters most. Hadean is doing exactly that. Their partnership with Palantir will see Hadean’s tools integrated into Palantir’s Foundry platform, accelerating deployment in classified environments and strengthening their work with the UK Ministry of Defence. With this level of capability and strategic traction, Hadean has the potential to become the UK’s first defence unicorn.
