Some startups go after market share. Others? They go after the very infrastructure the internet runs on, and decide it’s time for a reckoning. NexQloud isn’t whispering about disruption from the sidelines. They just walked into the room, dropped 1,850 NanoServers like chess pieces, and told the hyperscalers to check their carbon footprint and their margins. Founded in March 2024 and already closing a $2.3M pre-seed under Regulation CF, NexQloud is letting the crowd fuel a revolution the cloud incumbents would rather you didn’t notice. What Amazon does with a city block and a billion-dollar power bill, NexQloud does with…

Terra CO2 Technologies doesn’t exactly scream innovation. It’s dusty, carbon-heavy, and has been holding up bridges and bad ideas for centuries. But every now and then, someone walks in, looks at a trillion-dollar legacy industry, and says: “Yeah… we’re gonna do that better.” That someone? Terra CO2 Technologies. And this week, they just dropped a cool $124.5M in Series B extension capital like it was pocket change. Founded by Donald J. Lake, a geologist turned disruptor with 14 patents and more pending, Terra CO2 is proof that you don’t need to burn the world down to build it up. With…

Circulation. It keeps your body alive, your blood moving, and your retirement dreams chasing 10,000 steps. But what happens when the very thing keeping you alive starts to betray you, slowly, quietly, molecule by molecule? Enter Circulate Health, a biotech startup out of Novato, California, that just stepped out of stealth mode and into a $12 million seed round led by the sharp minds at Khosla Ventures, with support from Seaside Ventures and CSC Upshot Ventures. Not bad for a company that’s been quietly building a playbook on how to not just live longer, but live better. This isn’t another…

While the rest of the medical device world zigzags through incremental improvements and corporate tap dancing, Kardium’s been quietly engineering a mic drop. Their Globe® Pulsed Field System is a single-catheter beast, 122 electrodes, zero compromises. It maps and ablates atrial fibrillation (AF) in one shot, with real-time feedback so precise it could make a Swiss watch blush. For patients with paroxysmal AF or persistent AF, 59 million globally, the Globe® system doesn’t just promise efficiency, it delivers freedom. And in this game, freedom from arrhythmia is everything. On July 2, Kardium locked in a fresh $250 million in equity…

There’s a difference between another AI company and one that actually understands the problem. Argon AI isn’t throwing LLMs at life sciences because it’s trendy, they’re doing it because the industry is buried under terabytes of structured chaos, and someone finally decided to stop pretending SharePoint hacks were a strategy. Let’s talk precision. Argon AI just raised $5.5 million in seed funding from Crosslink Capital and Wireframe Ventures, with returning believers like Y Combinator and Pioneer Fund doubling down. This isn’t just another pitch deck parade, this is a team that’s already landed two of the top 15 global pharma…

Let’s talk market madness, money moves, and a startup that just raised a seed round hotter than a Manhattan sidewalk in July. Metafide, a New York City fintech outfit founded in 2022, just dropped a $3.275 million mic with their first institutional round, and if you’re not paying attention, SURGE might pass you by while you’re still refreshing your meme coin charts. Metafide isn’t selling pipe dreams. They’re building a trading platform that fuses human instinct with AI firepower, SURGE. This isn’t just another dashboard with some heat maps and fake dopamine hits. SURGE runs live predictive trading competitions that…

If you’ve ever found yourself six tabs deep into a black hole of baby bottle reviews, outdoor gear specs, or skincare ingredient lists, wondering why online shopping feels more like homework than convenience, Remark just dropped a 16-million-dollar reminder that help has finally arrived. Real help. Human help, digitized with swagger. On July 1, 2025, Boston-based Remark secured $16M in Series A funding, led by Inspired Capital, with backup from Stripe, Neo, Spero Ventures, Shine Capital, and Visible Ventures. That brings total funding to $27M for a startup that’s less “chatbot” and more “product-savvy best friend who actually knows their…

Let’s talk about research. The kind that moves markets, sharpens decisions, and gives institutional suits a six-second edge on tomorrow’s headlines. Now imagine automating that, not just streamlining it, but turning it into a real-time, multiagent machine that knows the difference between noise and insight. That’s not a pitch. That’s Enquire.AI. And they just dropped another $3 million into the tank to push harder into the world of high-stakes intelligence. Founded in 2018 as GlobalWonks, rebranded in 2021, and now firmly planted in DC and NYC, Enquire.AI isn’t your average AI company playing buzzword bingo. This crew built the world’s…

There’s something quietly menacing about a startup that names itself Bedrock Research. Not flashy. Not performative. Just… foundational. The kind of name that doesn’t scream, because it doesn’t have to. The kind that signals, “We know something you don’t. Yet.” Founded in August 2024, Bedrock Research is what happens when four defense and aerospace veterans stop playing inside the machine and start building one of their own. You don’t walk away from Lockheed Martin with a napkin sketch and a startup hoodie. You walk away with a vision, and a chip on your shoulder big enough to rewire how the…

Enterprise procurement, where billion-dollar decisions get bottlenecked by clunky portals, rogue spend, and enough red tape to gift-wrap the Pentagon. For anyone who’s ever tried to make sense of a 20-tab procurement dashboard built in the ‘08 financial crisis and somehow still live, Levelpath feels less like a product and more like a long-overdue jailbreak. Founded in 2022 by Alex Yakubovich (Co-Founder & CEO) and Stan Garber (Co-Founder & President), the same duo who sold Scout RFP to Workday for $540 million and then lived through the post-acquisition trenches, they didn’t just see procurement pain points, they wore them. Three…
