AgentMail raises $6M to give AI agents their own email inboxes

The San Francisco startup, backed by General Catalyst and Y Combinator, is betting that email, not some new identity protocol, is how AI agents will establish themselves on the internet. AI agents can already book your meetings, negotiate contracts, and handle support queues. What they have not had, until now, is a proper email address […]

Legal AI platform Legora raises $550m at a $5.55bn valuation

The Stockholm-born company has gone from zero to $5.55 billion in under two years, and it is not slowing down. There is a standard piece of mythology in the legal profession: that lawyers are resistant to technology, constitutionally sceptical of change, and will be the last white-collar workers standing when the AI reckoning comes. Max […]

Anchr raises $5.8m to automate food distribution’s manual back office

Anchr has raised a $5.8 million pre-seed round to automate the back office of America’s food distribution industry, a sector still running on phone calls, spreadsheets, and manual order entry.

Swiss startup Seprify raises €13.4M to replace titanium dioxide with cellulose

Swiss startup Seprify has raised €13.4 million to scale a cellulose-based alternative to one of the most widely used, and increasingly banned, industrial whiteners on the planet. IKEA is backing it. Somewhere in Southeast Asia, a small beetle called Cyphochilus produces the whitest surface found in nature, not through pigment, but through the microscopic structure […]

The Oberlo veterans taking on Europe’s restaurant supply chain raise €20M

Lithuanian food marketplace Saltz pulls in a €20M Series A backed by the EBRD, Inovo, Lifeline, and a roster of Baltic tech founders, to digitalise how restaurants across Europe source their ingredients.

Italy’s Mirai Robotics raises $4.2M to build autonomous vessels for the ‘blue economy

A Puglia-based startup founded by the man behind aircraft maker Blackshape has closed a pre-seed round to build software-defined ships and maritime AI. The ocean, it argues, is the last major physical environment not yet governed by software. Mirai Robotics, a startup headquartered in Puglia, southern Italy, wants to change that. The company has closed […]

Nscale raises $2bn Series C at $14.6bn valuation

The UK hyperscaler has now raised over $4.5bn across equity rounds in less than six months, and says it is the largest Series C ever closed in Europe. That claim deserves scrutiny. When Josh Payne founded Nscale, the company was barely a year old, and the world’s appetite for GPU compute had not yet tipped […]

Augur raises $15m from Plural to turn existing surveillance infrastructure into real-time intelligence

A London startup founded by the creator of safety app Path is betting that the cameras and sensors already deployed across Europe’s transport hubs, stadiums, and power stations are gathering dust when they matter most. In the first week of February 2026, anarchists severed electrical cables near Bologna on the opening day of the Milan–Cortina […]

Munich’s Telura exits stealth with €4M to make deep geothermal economically viable

Telura has come out of stealth with €4 million and a bold claim: it can make deep geothermal economically viable almost anywhere on Earth. The problem with geothermal energy has never been the heat. The Earth’s core sits at roughly 5,000 degrees Celsius, and the thermal gradient beneath the surface is consistent enough that, in […]

DealFlowAgent raises $750,000 to automate small business M&A

A seed-stage investment bank for small business M&A raises $750,000 from the backers of Uber and SpaceX. The market they’re targeting is enormous. The question is whether they’re early or right on time. Most people who sell a business do it once. They don’t know the going rate, they don’t know which buyers are serious, […]
