Since 2022 we've run WAGMI Ventures: a private syndicate getting individual investors into late-stage names before they IPO. Allocations have included OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic & Stripe. $50M+ deployed.
Not a fund with a committee: we do the research & the allocation, members pick deal by deal. Accredited investors only.
If you invest in pre-IPO AI, or want to, DMs are open. wagmiventures.io

Hadrian raised $40m co led by Forgepoint and Smartfin, $65m in total. the number that matters is their claim that 0.47% of scanner findings are actually exploitable. what is getting funded is triage, not detection.

the three tiers are the part worth noticing. gating capability by who you can prove you are is closer to how regulated tools get sold than how software ships. defenders get the ceiling raised, nobody else does.
We’re expanding our Cyber Verification Program to give security professionals broader access to our most capable models.
Through this program, verified security professionals can access Claude Mythos 5.1, Opus 5.5, and Sonnet 5.5 with safeguards designed for defensive work.
We’re also opening up new tiers to allow for authorized offensive work, like penetration testing and red-teaming.

PaleBlueDot raised $200m series c at $3.2b, ComputeCore led, B Capital in. the mix matters: owned clusters, a gpu marketplace, serverless inference. the marketplace leg carries no hardware so it shouldn't price like a neocloud

the useful bit is the chart being the output instead of something you rebuild in sheets after. still have to check the numbers behind it, but that's a step out of the loop
Perplexity Computer now creates interactive charts and visualizations directly in your thread.
For financial data, Computer uses @tradingview Lightweight Charts for candlesticks, volume, and moving averages.

Namespace raised $42m, a Series B led by Scale Venture Partners seven months after its A. the gap is what i'd watch, not the size. an A-to-B that fast means the first price never got tested, it just got re-marked by the next cheque.

the honest part is them saying text watermarking barely works & shipping it anyway because the EU date is the EU date. that's what a regulated market does to a roadmap.
We're expanding our approach to content provenance to include text in response to EU regulatory requirements, while recognizing the significant limitations of current text watermarking technology.
Our tools already help verify whether an image or audio file was created with our models. This work builds on those efforts to help people better understand when content may have been generated or edited with an OpenAI model.
In the EU, we’ll start watermarking eligible text from ChatGPT and Codex over the coming weeks to comply with the EU AI Act.
Customers using our API can turn on text watermarking for select models worldwide today.

fourth of the tranche, flying to a published schedule. for private market pricing that matters more than the launch itself: a government constellation contract is revenue you can actually underwrite.
Falcon 9 is vertical at pad 4E in California ahead of tomorrow’s launch of the @SemperCitiusSDA's fourth Tranche 1 data transport mission. Liftoff is targeted for 1:17 a.m. PT → spacex.com/launches/sda-t1tl…

GMI Cloud's $668m is $223m of equity and $445m of credit. the headline number for neoclouds is mostly debt against GPUs now, so the depreciation schedule is the real risk, not the raise. ARCHIV led, NVIDIA in.

Arceus Legal raised $17m led by Greycroft, with Craft Ventures and South Park Commons. flat quote before the work starts, free if a contract review runs past 8 hours. the AI isn't the interesting part, moving delay risk off the client is.

embedded lending always got talked about as a software problem & it never was. someone has to hold the credit risk. buying that instead of building it is the honest version.
We’re welcoming @ParafinHQ to Stripe.
Together, we’ll expand revenue opportunities for platforms and help small businesses grow: stripe.com/newsroom/news/str….

FieldAI at a reported $10b on a $700m round, 5x its Aug 2025 mark. the number i'd watch is the other one: contracted revenue past $100m in June, $135m by October. four months of revenue behind a robotics mark reads differently to a deck.

the unlock here was a toolkit, not a bigger model. which is roughly the opposite of where almost all the money is going.
In physics, an “impedance mismatch” occurs when two systems each work well but are poorly matched.
In this Science Blog guest post, Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz argues that something similar is happening with AI and science. LLMs are capable at many things, but working with them as you would with a human collaborator isn’t currently the best way to elicit their scientific strengths.
To address this mismatch, Schwartz created a toolkit for exact calculations in quantitative science. Because similar calculations often emerge in very different areas of science, Claude found connections to ecology, population genetics, and a dozen other fields, and Schwartz worked with domain experts to steer it towards interesting questions.

half of that is spot DEX, 7.1B of the 14.2. a record where one category does the work reads differently from broad adoption.
JUST IN: Solana processed a record 14.2B non-vote transactions in Q3, up 45% from Q2.

Supabase raised $150m led by GIC, with CapitalG, IronArc & SquarePeg, and announced the Turso buy the same day. a raise & a purchase on the same morning usually means the round was underwritten for the deal, not runway.

Flow Engineering raised $50m series B at $750m, Valor and Atreides co-leading. the interesting bit is the logo list, Anduril Joby Stoke Rivian GM VW. buyers that slow do not sign unless the tool already works.

not the crowd this rail was supposed to win first. interbank settlement was always the pitch, and a state owned bank plus ninety community banks is the first version of it that isn't a demo.
BREAKING: @Fiserv's digital asset platform is live, with transactions processing on Solana.
Roughrider Coin, issued for the state-owned Bank of North Dakota, lets more than 90 banks and credit unions move money between them in seconds.

Armadin: $255.5m series B at over $2.5b, a16z & Accel co leading, one year after founding. priced off Kevin Mandia's buyer list more than the agent swarm. he sold Mandiant to Alphabet for $5.4b. security budgets follow who signs.

2,942 screened in 3 months is the part i'd underline. the lead was already known & written off, so the win is re-testing cheaply enough to go back over discarded ground.
Green hydrogen currently runs on iridium — one of Earth's rarest metals, a few tonnes mined per year. Our AI-directed lab screened 2,942 catalysts in 3 months and surfaced a palladium-based lead the field had written off, now past 1,000 hours of testing in acid. lila.ai/news/how-an-ai-run-l…

CScale out of stealth, $145m series C, $188m total, co-led by Atreides, Valor & Premji. Nvidia and Intel Capital both in, which is the tell: the interconnect is a bottleneck neither chip vendor wants to own alone.
