Y Combinator's first bet on weapons eyes a U.S.-China war and SpaceX playbook
Briefly

Ares Industries aims to develop low-cost anti-ship missiles that are smaller and more effective, addressing the needs for modern warfare in the Taiwan Strait and beyond.
Founders Devan Plantamura and Alex Tseng highlight the urgency for innovative missile solutions, stating the U.S. stockpile would be depleted within weeks in a conflict.
Y Combinator partner Jared Friedman notes that current missile manufacturers are bloated and incapable of meeting increasing demand for smaller and more affordable missiles.
The founders promise to deliver early working missile systems to their first customers by mid-2025, showcasing rapid development in a niche market.
