Helsing

Helsing is a confirmed 'decacorn' in the defense AI sector with a valuation exceeding $12B (approx. €12B) and ~900 employees as of 2025/2026. The project demonstrates exceptional real-world utility and technical innovation, deploying AI for critical defense capabilities (e.g., Eurofighter, drones). However, the submission text itself is of poor quality, containing inaccurate claims ('audience reach: everyone', 'traction: most people') likely due to haste or security constraints. The score reflects the massive verifiable reality of the entity while penalizing the low quality of the specific submission response.
