  • Congratulations to Kirill Klokov, Ilya Chatsviorkin and the entire Truv team. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch you bring an ambitious idea to life and build a company that has truly transformed the approach to financial data verification. As an early investor, we witnessed the thoughtfulness, resilience, and unwavering conviction required to build Truv - from its inception to the current phase of rapid growth and scaling. This marks a wonderful new chapter, opening the door to take Truv’s vision and technology to a much larger stage and offer them to a far broader range of clients. We are genuinely proud to have been part of this journey during which we forged real partnership and we look forward to seeing what you achieve next! 🎉 🔥 🚀 https://lnkd.in/g7-gD_yG

  • Alpaca built the rails underneath global investing — and just showed what happens when years of unglamorous work compounds. Congrats to Yoshi Yokokawa, Hitoshi Harada, Nadia Asoyan and the rest of this outstanding team on raising a $135M round alongside $300M in debt financing. What we've always respected about Yoshi and the Alpaca team is the unglamorous conviction it takes to go market-by-market: US, Japan, now India's GIFT City, the UK, and passporting across all 30 EEA countries - building the clearing, and doing the plumbing no one sees. They didn't chase the AI or tokenization trend; they spent years building the regulated rails underneath both, and the road ahead is exactly the one they've been paving. At Elefund, we're proud to have deepened our participation this round and excited to keep supporting the team as they scale. The hardest part of infrastructure is staying boring long enough to become obvious. Onward. 🚀

    We are grateful to announce a $135 million raise led by Peak XV Partners, with major participation from Elefund. Additional new and returning investors include Opera Tech Ventures, the venture capital arm of BNP Paribas Group, and Unbound 🙏   Alpaca has secured $435 million in total financing, including the raise and debt financing primarily from Payward, the parent company of global digital asset platform Kraken, and BMO U.S. This financing will accelerate our development of agent-first brokerage infrastructure, and further our role as the infrastructure layer supporting tokenized global capital markets, helping financial companies build, launch, and scale investing products across traditional and onchain markets. The milestone builds on our business growth, and highlights the strong execution we’ve had this year, which includes: 🇮🇳Acquiring an IFSCA-regulated broker-dealer in GIFT City to establish our regulated presence in India 🇬🇧🇪🇺Finalizing the acquisition of our UK and European entities, and passporting in all 30 EEA countries 🌍 Launching global equities access, starting with European equities trading 🪙 Onboarding major global crypto exchanges, leading tokenization platforms, and financial institutions  📈 Doubling revenue year over year for the third year in a row  💰 Surpassing $1.5 billion in AUC for the underlying stocks backing tokenized equities 🤖 Monthly active API users increasing nearly 4x as we expanded agentic AI capabilities Thank you to our investors, partners, and customers for believing in our vision.

    Congratulations to Patrick Hogan, Chris Woodard, Blake Robertson and the rest of the amazing Handle.com team on successfully raising their $27M Series B round! Construction needs its own financial workflow — especially right now, as critical infrastructure is scaling fast across the country, from factories and hospitals to data centers. Handle is building the Construction Data Graph to power construction finance, and we are excited to be early investors and partners on that journey. Godspeed! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gU5PyBja

    Congratulations to Baiju Bhatt and the entire Cowboy Space Corporation team on the $275M Series B and the rebrand! What makes this moment so special isn’t just the raise — it’s what they're building and how they’re building it. The vertically integrated approach is the real breakthrough: rather than treating a rocket as a workhorse and a data center as its freight, Cowboy designs the launch vehicle and the orbital data center as a single, unified system from day one. 🚀 We're grateful to continue supporting this wonderful team and excited to see them among the stars. Godspeed! https://lnkd.in/gMQZhKZQ

  • We are honored to continue backing pioneers who are building satellites to close the digital divide. Huge congratulations to the entire Astranis Space Technologies team on their $450M Series E financing — a powerful milestone toward building the resilient solutions the world needs and connecting billions of people who’ve been left offline for far too long. From our earliest seed investment to today, it has been a privilege to support John Gedmark, Ryan McLinko, and the entire team, whose vision, approach, and execution have built something truly remarkable. Onward and upward! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/eEz82izb

  • Congratulations to Anton Katz, Ethan Feldman and the entire Talos team on their extended round and on adding Robinhood to their impressive list of strategic partners and investors. It's great to see Talos continue to grow – the pace of work, market expansion, and clarity of objectives are truly impressive. As an early investor in both companies, we are especially pleased with this turn of events. Grateful for the opportunity and incredibly excited about the future. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gh-AhdiY

  • This round evokes the warmest feelings. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, because this team, led by Yoshi Yokokawa and Hitoshi Harada, embodies hard work, discipline, and talent. Secondly, it's the autonomy of thought, where decision-making begins with a thorough analysis and an engineering approach. And thirdly, it's the strategic direction with a huge mission of democratizing finance. The mental image of that last unconnected customer doesn't leave the Alpaca team in peace. That's a rare quality. Congratulations on raising this monumental round and achieving unicorn status. We are grateful for our joint work both as an early investor and as members of the board of directors. Shout out to Tarun Ajwani, Nadia Asoyan and others! The future awaits 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gC8DNde7

    The recent announcement of the landmark agreement between NVIDIA and Groq is a historic milestone for everyone who believed in Groq's vision from the very beginning. As an investor, we are extremely pleased to see the company's exceptional work in ultra-low-latency inference being recognized by a global leader in AI computing. This partnership — and the unprecedented recognition it represents — demonstrates how far Groq's technology has pushed the boundaries of intelligent computing. What began as a bold attempt to reimagine processor architecture has evolved into one of the most respected success stories in the world of AI hardware. For investors, this moment validates our confidence in the broader concept of energy-efficient artificial intelligence infrastructure. We look forward to the next chapter of this remarkable story and to continuing our work together. Congratulations to Jonathan Ross, Sunny Madra, Ian Andrews, Jacob Loewenstein, and everyone else who helped turn this audacious idea into a world-changing reality. It is a great honor!

    Congratulations to Tudor Achim, Vlad Tenev and the entire Harmonic team on reaching this major milestone with $120 million Series C and newly minted unicorn status. This raise is a powerful vote of confidence in their vision for Mathematical Superintelligence and the Aristotle model, which is already demonstrating gold-medal-level performance at the International Mathematical Olympiad and showcasing what formally verified reasoning can unlock for science, engineering, and other quantative fields. As you scale this technology, the ability to combine advanced mathematical reasoning with formal verification has the potential to reshape how breakthrough research is done and how mission-critical decisions are made in industry, making this funding round an exciting step toward a safer, more rigorous future for AI.
