📡 Signals – What This Week Tells Us:
Vertical AI dominates. Healthcare (Aidoc), HR (Ashby), and messaging (Gupshup) are eating investor attention.
Mega-rounds aren’t dead. Lovable ($200M) and Aidoc ($150M) show growth-stage capital is still flowing.
Agentic AI gets real. Composio’s $25M round is more proof investors are betting on autonomous AI agents.
Seed checks stay steady. Healthcare, video, and compliance play a big part in early-stage momentum.

🤝 Mergers & Acquisitions: (Jul 20–25, 2025)
Cognition → Windsurf. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you probably already heard the noise around this one. Cognition picked up Windsurf’s assets and team after OpenAI talks fell through. I highly recommend listening to Harry Stebbings 20VC episode with Scott Wu, CEO from Cognition.
Palo Alto Networks → Protect AI Completed acquisition to secure the AI application lifecycle.
Amazon → Bee Confirmed acquisition of AI wearable that records and transcribes everything you say.
