Boom Supersonic funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 2025 | Series B | Darsana Capital Partners (lead); Robinhood Ventures; Y Combinator; Altimeter Capital; Bessemer Venture Partners; ARK Investment Management | $300M | $1.5B | Boom Supersonic, founded in 2014 by Blake Scholl and based in Centennial, Colorado, develops supersonic passenger jets like the Overture airliner and the Symphony engine, alongside the Superpower 42-megawatt natural gas turbine for AI data centers using shared high-temperature technologies. The company secured a $300 million Series B funding round on December 9, 2025, led by Darsana Capital Partners with participation from Altimeter Capital, ARK Investment Management, Bessemer Venture Partners, Robinhood Ventures, and Y Combinator, more than doubling its initial $150 million target and bringing total funding to over $900 million at a $1.5 billion post-money valuation. The proceeds fund scaled production of Superpower turbines to support Overture certification and production, with passenger flights targeted by the end of the decade. Boom holds preorders for over 130 Overture planes from airlines including United Airlines, American Airlines, and Japan Airlines. Concurrently, it announced a $1.25 billion backlog for Superpower, anchored by Crusoe Energy's order for 29 units totaling 1.21 gigawatts (GW), positioning Boom to produce over 4 GW annually by 2030 while generating engine data to accelerate aviation certification. This round rebounds from a 2024 downround at $429 million valuation, reflecting investor optimism amid AI energy demands and supersonic tech progress, including the XB-1 demonstrator breaking the sound barrier at Mach 1.18 in early 2025. Boom's 'Boomless Cruise' enables overland supersonic flight without sonic booms, aiming to halve transoceanic flight times and enhance global accessibility. Prior raises include $100 million in December 2024 and undisclosed strategic funding from NEOM in 2023. |
| Dec 2024 | Series A | Michael Moritz; Y Combinator; Paul Graham; FJ Labs; Bessemer Venture Partners; Reid Hoffman; Alexander Gerko; Sam Altman | $100M | $429M | Boom Supersonic develops supersonic commercial airliners, including the Overture designed to fly at Mach 1.7 with net-zero carbon emissions, aiming to halve international flight times. The company also advances the Symphony engine and has pivoted toward energy generation via Superpower turbines for AI data centers. On December 16, 2024, Boom closed a $100 million Series A-II funding round with investors Alexander Gerko, Bessemer Venture Partners, FJ Labs (aligned with prior backers), Michael Moritz, Paul Graham, Reid Hoffman, Sam Altman, and Y Combinator, fully funding the first Symphony engine prototype to support Overture development. This round brought total funding to approximately $350 million, following prior raises including a 2023 strategic investment from NEOM. It was described as a downround at a post-money valuation of $429 million, lower than previous rounds amid market challenges, but demonstrated Silicon Valley confidence despite industry skepticism. The funds target engine prototyping, with Blake Scholl noting it positions the company to prove critics wrong on technical feasibility. Boom maintains a strong order backlog, including commitments from United Airlines, American Airlines, Japan Airlines, and Virgin Group for over 130 Overture aircraft, plus a $1.25 billion contract with Crusoe Energy for 29 Superpower turbine units totaling 1.21 GW. The company employs over 250 people in Denver, CO, and has achieved milestones like XB-1 breaking the sound barrier at Mach 1.18. |

| Jun 2021 | Undisclosed stage | Prime Movers Lab (lead); Ion Pacific; Caruso Ventures | $45M | - | Boom Supersonic is an aerospace company founded in 2014 in Denver, Colorado, developing the Overture supersonic airliner capable of Mach 1.7 speeds for 60-80 passengers using sustainable aviation fuel, alongside the XB-1 demonstrator and later Superpower turbine for energy applications. The company raised a $45M round in April 2021 led by Prime Movers Lab (with ACOF mentioned in some sources), aimed at accelerating Overture design and prototyping; Prime Movers Lab GP Zia Huque joined the board post-investment. This followed a $50M raise crossing $1B valuation by late 2020, bringing total funding to ~$270M at that point, with backers including Celesta Capital, American Express Ventures, and others like Reid Hoffman. Cumulative funding later reached $700M+ by 2023-2024 across multiple rounds, including later Series B-1 at $1.5B valuation in 2025 and a $300M raise at $1.5B post-money led by Darsana Capital. Boom has secured airline orders, SAF partnerships, and a $1.25B backlog for Superpower turbines, with production scaling in Greensboro, NC, and test flights of XB-1 completed by 2024. Competitors include Hermeus and Relativity Space, with Boom differentiating via dual aviation-energy focus and U.S. manufacturing. |
| Dec 2020 | Series C | Celesta Capital (lead); Hugo Barra; Sunstone Management; Amex Ventures; Angel Collective Opportunity Fund | $50M | $1B | Boom Supersonic is an aerospace company developing supersonic commercial jets, starting with the Overture airliner designed to carry 60-80 passengers at Mach 1.7 speeds using sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to make high-speed travel affordable like business class initially then economy levels. Founded in 2014 by Blake Scholl and others, the company had raised about $160M prior to this round, including a $100M Series B in 2019 led by Emerson Collective and earlier investments from Japan Airlines, Y Combinator, and others. On December 15, 2020, Boom closed a $50M funding round led by Celesta Capital (noted as WRVI Capital at the time), pushing total funding to $210M and achieving unicorn status with a post-money valuation above $1 billion. The round included participation from investors like Prime Movers Lab, with the supersonic jet still in design phase—a scaled-down prototype was scheduled for flight the next year, factory groundbreaking in 2022, and commercial test flights by 2026, requiring further capital. Carriers such as Japan Airlines had placed preorders for the jets, which promised twice the speed of current commercial aircraft, potentially cutting Los Angeles to Sydney flights to under nine hours. Backers like Ctrip and Japan Airlines highlighted international interest in reviving supersonic travel. This 2020 unicorn round positioned Boom for ambitious milestones amid a competitive landscape of aerospace innovators. Subsequent developments included a $20M Series B extension in March 2021 with American Express Ventures, undisclosed strategic funding from NEOM in 2023, a $100M Series A-II at $429M valuation in 2024, and a major $300M Series B in December 2025 at $1.5B valuation led by Darsana Capital, bringing cumulative funding over $700M while expanding into Superpower turbines for AI data centers with a $1.25B backlog led by Crusoe. |

The company joined the unicorn club in late 2020 with a valuation exceeding $1 billion following a $50 million funding round led by WRVI Capital. Prior to this, Boom raised $100 million in a Series B round in January 2019 led by Emerson Collective, bringing total funding to approximately $210 million by December 2020. In December 2020, sources reported Boom Supersonic's valuation at $1 billion. The company has investors including Japan Airlines, Ctrip, Y Combinator Continuity, Caffeinated Capital, and others. Efforts focus on designing jets capable of supersonic speeds over water, with plans for full-scale Overture prototypes by 2022 and commercial flights by 2026. |

On January 4, 2019, it closed a $100 million Series B funding round led by Emerson Collective, including $56 million in new investment and $44 million in previously announced strategic investments from Y Combinator Continuity, Caffeinated Capital, SV Angel, and individual investors such as founders of Google, Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox, bringing total funding to over $141 million. The proceeds supported advancement of Overture development, with a one-third scale prototype XB-1 under assembly in Centennial, Colorado for flight tests later in 2019, and plans to double its over 100 full-time employees. At the time, Boom had pre-orders for 30 jets from Virgin Group and Japan Airlines. Later rounds included a 2020 raise at over $1 billion valuation and much later 2024-2025 rounds at $429 million and $1.5 billion valuations with different investors. Boom's Overture aims to enable faster transatlantic and transpacific flights, such as Boston to San Francisco at Mach 2.2, positioning it against subsonic jets from Airbus and Boeing while addressing Concorde's economic and environmental drawbacks through composite materials and greener propulsion. |
