Contrary Research (an investor) reports a $130 million Series A in November 2025 led by Doug Philippone of Snowpoint Ventures, with Palmer Luckey, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, Dream Ventures, Day One Ventures and Contrary participating, bringing total funding to about $150M then. Valar's press library links a Bloomberg headline naming Luckey and a Lockheed director as backers, and a later Los Angeles Times B2B headline 'El Segundo's Valar Atomics Raises $130 Million'; neither article could be read. Full round-by-round detail belongs in funding.json. ANS (November 13, 2025), a second, independent report, gives the same $130 million and says the round was led by Snowpoint, Day One and Dream, with Snowpoint's cofounder joining the board and total funding above $150 million.
