The most interesting release in this batch is a product launch, and it’s a security one. Rubrik has built Code Guardian, a service that runs Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 against customer source code. The model never touches the live repository. It works on a clone of Rubrik’s immutable, air-gapped backup copy, looks for vulnerability chains that cross files, services, authentication patterns and cloud boundaries, checks whether each chain can really be exploited, and sends the confirmed critical ones to Jira or GitHub with file-level fix guidance.

Wonderful closed a $550 million Series C at a $5 billion valuation on September 2, led by Insight Partners with Salesforce joining as a new investor. The round size is the headline. The number that decides whether the price holds is 650, the employee count, measured against annual recurring revenue tracking toward roughly $100 million by year end. That is about $154,000 of ARR per head. If the company reaches the 900 employees it told investors in March it would hit by December, the ratio drops toward $111,000.

Two funding rounds closed the same day at opposite edges of the AI stack. Enigma, which runs large-scale experiments exploring how humans interact with robots, emerged from stealth with a $70 million seed led by Index Ventures and Ribbit. Multiverse Computing, based in Spain and focused on shrinking large language models to reduce energy and compute costs, raised a $570 million Series C at a $1.7 billion valuation. One is betting that the interface is the unsolved problem.

Infinity.inc, an early-stage AI infrastructure research company, has closed a $15 million seed round at a $100 million post-money valuation. Touring Capital led the participation, joined by Principal Venture Partners, executives from major chip companies, researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic, and a group of angel investors. The company’s core product is Ignition, an autonomous AI agent that writes, tests, and optimizes the low-level compute kernels that determine how efficiently a chip runs AI models.

10Beauty, the Boston-based robotics company behind what it calls the first full-service robotic manicure, has closed a $23.5 million funding round led by Story Ventures. The raise pushes the company’s total funding past $70 million and arrives as it moves from a single-market pilot into a multi-city rollout. What the Machine Actually Does Unlike nail-polish vending gimmicks or partial-automation concepts that have surfaced in the beauty space before, 10Beauty’s system handles the entire manicure workflow: polish removal, nail shaping, cuticle care, color application, top coat, and drying.

The economics of healthcare hiring have always had a strange flaw baked into them. Systems spend aggressively to attract talent, then act surprised when that same talent leaves once the incentives expire. What Clasp is doing—backed now by a $20 million Series B—isn’t just another HR-tech tweak. It’s an attempt to rewrite the incentive structure entirely, shifting the focus from recruitment spikes to long-term workforce stability. At the center of Clasp’s model is a concept borrowed from the military: early commitment.

Halter is pushing deeper into the idea that livestock management can become a software-defined business, and its latest funding round shows investors believe that shift is no longer experimental. The New Zealand-founded agtech company said on March 25, 2026 that it has raised $220 million in Series E funding at a $2 billion valuation, in a round led by Founders Fund with participation from Blackbird, DCVC, Bond, Bessemer, NewView, Ubiquity, Promus, and Icehouse Ventures.

CometChat’s new $6.5 million strategic funding round from existing investor Run Ventures feels less like a routine extension and more like a targeted push into a very specific direction the market is moving toward: turning communication platforms into intelligent, decision-making layers. The company now brings its total funding to $21.1 million, and the intent is pretty explicit — accelerate its AI platform and reposition itself from a messaging infrastructure provider into something closer to an operational brain for customer interaction.

Amplio, the AI startup reshaping how enterprise manufacturers manage industrial surplus, has closed an $11.1 million Series A round led by Hitachi Ventures and Yamaha Motor Ventures, with continued support from Construct Capital, Slow Ventures, Alpaca VC, and High Alpha Capital.
