Spear AI raises first round of funding to apply AI to submarine data

John McGunnigle, co-founder of Spear AI, stands aboard the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine USS New Hampshire, which he commanded before retiring and entering the private sector, in this undated handout image. Spear AI/Handout via REUTERS SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -A startup founded by U.S. Navy veterans aiming to help the U.S. military use artificial intelligence to decipher data gathered by submarines has raised its first round of outside capital. Washington-based Spear AI specializes in working with what is known as passive acoustic data, which is gathered by listening devices underwater. Its long-term aim is to use AI to help submarine operators understand whether an object heard could be a rain squall, a whale, or a vessel that could be a threat, and to detect where it is and how fast it is moving. The challenge isthat most existing AI tools are trained on data such as words or images that have been painstakingly labeled and organized over years or decades by companies such as Scale AI, which recently signed a $14.8-billion deal with Meta Platforms. Data from acoustic sensors is different. Spear AI co-founders Michael Hunter, a former U.S. Navy SEAL analyst, and John McGunnigle, a former nuclear submarine commander for the U.S. Navy, are building a hardware and software platform that aims to prepare that data for AI algorithms. The company sells sensors that can be attached to buoys or vessels and a software tool to help label and sort the data gathered by the sensors to make it ready to be put into AI systems. The U.S. Navy this month awarded Spear AI a $6-million contract for its data-labeling tool. Spear AI, founded in 2021, has been self-funded and has about 40 employees. Hunter, the CEO, said it raised $2.3 million from AI-focused venture firm Cortical Ventures and private equity firm Scare the Bear. The funding will be used to double the company's headcount to support its government contracts and commercial business prospects, such as monitoring underwater pipelines and cables. Hunter said Spear AI also aims to sell consulting services, a model similar to defense tech firm Palantir. "We wanted to build the product and actually get it out the door before the contract came in to get it," Hunter told Reuters. "The only way you can do that is with private capital."

REUTERS/Nacho Doce/File photo LONDON (Reuters) -Spanish telecom giant Telefonica is in exclusive talks to sell its Mexican business to Beyond ONE, the owner of Virgin Mobile Mexico, three sources with knowledge of the negotiations said. TheSpanish company has accelerated plans to reduce its exposure in Spanish-speaking Latin America, where profitability is lower than the cost of capital, and to focus instead on four main markets undernew CEOMarc Murtra. Telefonica declined to comment. Dubai-based digital services provider Beyond ONE did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The sources said that a deal was not certainand askednot to be identified because the matter is confidential. The Mexican business could be worth 520 million euros ($609.28 million), according to a research note published by Kepler Chevreux in June. Beyond ONE acquired Virgin Mobile Latin America, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) with clients in Mexico and Colombia, in 2023 for an undisclosed amount. One of the sources said the creation of a new antitrust commission - proposed by Mexico - could delay any telecoms deal because it will createuncertainty about getting regulatory proposed body would have power over telecoms companies. Telefonica has said it want to focus on the four core markets of Brazil, Britain, Germany and Spain, with Murtra planning to unveil a new strategy for the company in the second half of this year. It agreed to sell its Argentina unit to Telecom Argentinafor $1.245 billion in February, and is working with advisors for a sale of its business in Chile and Ecuador. It also reached an agreement in May to sell its Uruguay business for $440 million to Luxembourg-based Millicom International.
