Salesforce said it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rune Technologies, a company that builds logistics and sustainment software for the U.S. military and allied nations, expanding the Missionforce defense business^1,2.

In a company announcement dated Oct. 29, 2026, Salesforce said Rune's technology is intended to help frontline teams forecast supply needs and allocate resources in environments with denied, degraded, intermittent or limited connectivity¹.

Techmeme, summarizing Axios reporting by Chris Metinko, said Rune raised about $30 million and that Salesforce is using the deal to grow Missionforce, launched about a year ago².

Salesforce described the purchase as its most significant national security-focused acquisition and said that one year after Missionforce launched, its defense business is growing 80 percent year over year, with customers across all six U.S. military branches¹.

The company also said recent work includes a 10-year U.S. Army contract with a $5.6 billion ceiling, and that Rune software is already deployed with the Army and Marine Corps¹.

Kendall Collins, president and CEO of Missionforce and Government Cloud, said, "Salesforce is doubling down on national security with our most significant acquisition in this space"¹.

Salesforce said co-founders David Tuttle and Peter Goldsborough started Rune in 2024 after leadership roles at Anduril, and that Tuttle is CEO¹.

Neither Salesforce nor the Techmeme roundup stated a purchase price^1,2.

Salesforce said the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2027, subject to customary closing conditions¹.
