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 […]
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 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. On any given morning, the operations team at a mid-size food distributor might spend hours logging orders from restaurant clients, received by email, text, voicemail, […]
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 […]
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. When Andrius and Tomas Šlimas sold their dropshipping platform Oberlo to Shopify in 2017, they could have sat out the next decade comfortably. […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
