Divergent secures $290M to meet aerospace and defence demand
Divergent Technologies, Inc, Torrance, California, USA, has announced the closing of its Series E financing raising a total of $290 million at a $2.3 billion valuation. The round was led by Rochefort Asset Management and consists of $250 million in equity capital and $40 million in debt capital.
Founded in 2014, Divergent is the creator of the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS), an end-to-end digital manufacturing platform enabling rapid design, Additive Manufacturing, and automated assembly. The new capital is intended to scale manufacturing capacity for the business and fund the development of new capabilities for upcoming product families.
“Divergent was founded to transform the built world with a software-defined manufacturing platform,” said Lukas Czinger, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Divergent. “This funding enables us to scale DAPS for aerospace and defence, expand our world-class team, and strengthen America’s industrial base with a truly next-generation system.”
Divergent designs and builds hardware for aerospace, defence, and automotive customers using its digital manufacturing platform. The company’s technology enables faster development cycles, higher performance, and lower cost structures for customers.
“Divergent is delivering exactly what America needs — a stronger, faster, and more adaptable industrial base,” said Kyle Bass, co-CEO of Rochefort Asset Management. “By uniting advanced software and hardware into a single platform, Divergent is proving that the US can out-innovate and out-produce on the global stage. We are confident this team will redefine manufacturing and strengthen America’s position in the industries that matter most.”
Divergent’s early customer base included luxury automotive OEMs such as Aston Martin, Bugatti, and McLaren. In 2022, the company expanded into aerospace and defence with initial work for General Atomics. Currently, Divergent has contracts with dozens of aerospace and defence customers, including General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Triumph Group, ranging from individual sustainment parts to full airframe systems.
The company’s revenue is reported to have grown more than 5x in 2025; in the first half of 2025, Divergent introduced over 200 new aerospace and defence part numbers, bringing its total to more than 600 unique parts across industries.
