Salesforce’s M&A spree continues with a reported $375M deal for defense tech startup Rune

Salesforce has agreed to acquire Rune Technologies, an AI logistics startup, for $375 million in cash and stock to bolster its Missionforce defense platform. Rune's AI software helps the US military predict supply needs and manage logistics from the field. The acquisition will extend Missionforce's capabilities beyond back-office planning to support battlefield operations. Rune has raised $30 million from investors and was valued at $127 million after a Series A funding round last year.
