|
9.1
On March 18, 2026, Swarmer, an Austin-based startup founded in Ukraine, made a Nasdaq debut as shares surged over 700% and closed at $31; Erik Prince became nonexecutive chairman last month. The firm reports supporting more than 100,000 combat missions, while Ukraine's defense industry had $35 billion production capacity in 2025 but received only $6.1 billion in foreign funding. The IPO signals rising U.S. investor and Pentagon interest.
