VisionWave Secures Strategic $50 Million Equity Line to Accelerate AI-Driven Defense Platform
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:VWAV) ("VisionWave" or the "Company"), a next-generation defense technology company, today announced that it has entered into a transformative funding agreement with a prominent institutional investor, securing an equity line for up to $50 million in capital through a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA), along with a $5 million tranche funding commitment in the form of convertible notes.
This financing empowers VisionWave to execute on the strategic initiatives outlined in its investor presentation including the scaled deployment of its AI-powered multi-domain defense solutions across autonomous aerial, ground, and maritime systems.
Under the terms of the agreement, VisionWave has the right to sell up to $50 million in common stock over a 24-month period at its discretion, providing flexible, growth-focused capital. The investor also committed to funding $5 million through convertible notes to support immediate scaling efforts, of which, the first $3 million was funded upon entering into the funding agreement.
Importantly, the $5 million tranche funding includes protective covenants which prohibit the use of proceeds to pay any pre-existing liabilities accrued before the Company's business combination. This ensures that all capital raised is strictly designated for working capital and growth initiatives, reinforcing VisionWave's forward-focused strategy.
Noam Kenig, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave, stated:
"This funding commitment is more than just capital — it is a validation of our business model, our mission, and the extraordinary work our team has accomplished. With this support, we are positioned to accelerate delivery on our promises, enter new markets, and deepen engagements with defense and homeland security partners globally."
Douglas Davis, Chairman of VisionWave, added:
"Our business combination and public listing laid the foundation. This financing is the fuel. It provides us with the financial strength to scale operations, deliver cutting-edge technologies, and move faster than ever toward becoming a leader in intelligent defense systems. We viewed this investment as a mission to support national security innovation at a critical moment in time"
The proceeds from this financing will be used for working capital, product deployment, and continued innovation across VisionWave's defense technology platforms.
