From AI parking lots and edge chips to healthcare agents and “data OS” plays, capital flooded every layer of the stack this week.
On the other end, scrappy seeds quietly shipped infra for agents, voice, and browser automation.
Lets dive in:
🔥 Biggest AI Funding Rounds This Week:
Metropolis – $500M (Series D, equity; part of $1.6B financing) – Los Angeles, CA
AI-powered computer vision platform that turns parking lots and physical retail into “drive in, drive out, no checkout” infrastructure at a $5B valuation.
Beacon – $250M (Series B) – San Francisco, CA
Industrial automation and AI software that helps large real-world operations (from logistics to energy) orchestrate workflows and data.
Hippocratic AI – $126M (Series C) – Palo Alto, CA
Clinically safe generative AI agents for patient-facing healthcare, now valued at $3.5B and backed by major health systems.
EdgeCortix – $110M+ (Series B) – Tokyo, Japan
Energy-efficient edge AI processors and chiplets for on-device inference, riding a wave of demand for lower-latency, lower-power models.
MoEngage – $100M (Series E) – Bengaluru, India
AI-driven customer engagement platform helping brands orchestrate journeys and personalization across channels.
Infravision – $91M (Series B) – Austin, TX
Robotics-plus-AI “drone lineworkers” that string and inspect power lines to modernize critical grid infrastructure.
Aily Labs – $80M (Series B) – Munich, Germany
“Decision intelligence” platform that sits on top of enterprise data and serves AI-generated insights to business users.
Giga – $61M (Series A) – New York, NY
AI-native “second brain” for finance teams, automating reconciliation, workflows, and reporting.
Inception – $50M (Series B) – San Francisco Bay Area, CA
Agentic “copilot” layer that plugs into enterprise systems to automate complex workflows end-to-end.
Nexos.ai – €30M (~$32M) (Series A) – Barcelona, Spain
AI operations platform for industrial automation, coordinating robots, sensors, and workflows on factory floors.
ExaCare AI – $30M (Series A) – New York, NY
AI-first platform for healthcare revenue cycle and operations, targeting waste in admin-heavy workflows.
Teleskope – $25M (Series A) – New York, NY
Data security posture management for AI era—auto-discovers sensitive data and enforces policies across warehouses and SaaS.
Lumonus – A$25M (~$16M) (Series A) – Sydney, Australia
AI-driven photonics and sensor tech for defense and space, giving robots and autonomous systems sharper “eyes.”

🦄 Startups to Watch:
Mimic Robotics (Seed – Berlin, DE)
Warehouse robotics with a pragmatic price point and autonomy stack aimed at SMB logistics, not just FAANG-scale ops. If “robotics for the rest of us” hits, Mimic is early.
Subtle Computing (Seed – San Francisco, CA)
Voice AI that actually works in noisy, real-world environments is a huge unlock for wearables, cars, and field work; Subtle’s on-device voice isolation gives it real defensibility.
Anchor Browser (Seed – Tel Aviv, IL)
Every agent stack eventually hits “lol the web is messy”; Anchor is building the browser infra that lets agents robustly click, scroll, and transact at scale—likely to become default plumbing.
Nexos.ai (Series A – Barcelona, ES)
Tying together industrial robots, sensors, and workflows into an “AI conductor” for factories is a massive, durable category; Nexos is one of the few doing true orchestration rather than point tools.
📡 Signals – What This Week Tells Us:
Infra is eating the world (still): Metropolis, EdgeCortix, Nexos.ai, and Lumonus show investors still love hard infra. Think compute, chips, and physical world automation, not just SaaS wrappers.
Healthcare and security are evergreen AI theses: Hippocratic AI and ExaCare took big checks, while Zscaler’s SPLX buy cements “AI security stack” as a real M&A category.
Agentic everything: From Anchor Browser and Cactus on the infra side to Aisera, LibreChat, and Kypso in M&A, agent-orchestration is turning into its own layer of the stack.
Global heat map keeps spreading: This week’s checks spanned Tokyo, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Munich, Sydney, London, Barcelona, Bengaluru, and multiple U.S. hubs. AI capital is firmly multipolar.
Seeds remain loud: Even with $100M+ headliners, investors wrote a flurry of sub-$10M checks into very early infra (Subtle, Anchor, Hyperever, IndustrialMind), keeping the future pipeline stocked.
🤝 Mergers & Acquisitions
Zscaler → SPLX
Cloud security giant Zscaler bought AI security startup SPLX to add AI asset discovery, automated red-teaming, and governance across the “AI lifecycle.”
Automation Anywhere → Aisera
Agentic automation player Automation Anywhere scooped up Aisera to fuse RPA-style bots with AI-native service agents for IT, HR, and support—the “autonomous enterprise” thesis in M&A form.
Incredibuild → Kypso
Build-acceleration platform Incredibuild acquired Kypso to add AI agents that watch your CI/CD pipeline and auto-remediate issues across GitHub, Jira, and Slack.
ClickHouse → LibreChat
Analytics database ClickHouse bought LibreChat to ship an open-source “agentic data stack,” letting users and agents query massive datasets via chat-style interfaces.
PatientNow → Recura
Aesthetics-focused practice management vendor PatientNow acquired Recura, an AI growth engine for clinics, bundling lead capture and conversion into its core platform.
amazee.io → Amazee Labs
Mirantis-owned amazee.io re-absorbed Amazee Labs to combine cloud hosting with AI-powered consulting and digital experience work for enterprises and governments.
M&A Pulse: Buyers aren’t chasing raw models—they’re hoovering vertical AI capabilities and agentic workflows they can bolt straight into existing platforms.
