Frontier AI lab for defence and security Twin Prime has raised have $10 million in pre-seed funding led by Expeditions, with additional investment from American and European VCs, Theon, family offices, and angels from within Palantir, Anduril, Quorum, and more.
Twin Prime is developing AI models that natively reason on data from a large number of sensor modalities in the physical world, notably across the national security landscape, compressing the perception-to-decision layer to enable smart, real-time action against threats.
The company was founded in 2025 by George Lentzas, Stephane Sezer, Drew Calcagno, and Michael Leite-Garcia, a multinational team of researchers in frontier AI, quantitative finance, and national security.
Collectively, they have extensive experience at top institutions, including Hudson River Trading, Google Research, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Columbia University, the White House, the Pentagon, and various branches of both the US and European armed forces.
