AI Summary

Warhound, a Texas defense startup founded by Palmer Luckey and Colossal Biosciences CEO Ben Lamm, is emerging from stealth with a $200 million seed round, Fortune reported. TechCrunch Venture reported the round values the company at $1.2 billion. Warhound has no signed customers yet, Lamm said, and is not quoting a price per dog. He expects the first dogs in about two years and said the company is discussing a "Canine-as-a-Service" model in which the government would buy a steady supply of trained dogs rather than individual animals.
