Today feels special. Not just because we've raised a new round, but because it reflects the growing belief in what we're building. To our customers, partners, team, and investors: thank you. This milestone belongs to all of you. This round isn't just fuel for growth. It's fuel to keep building with the same conviction we started with: quality should be easy to access, convenience shouldn't require compromise, and trust should be earned. Onwards. 🚀 Read more - inc42.com/buzz/firstclub-net…

What a weekend at the Swiss Open in Racketlon for Pauline Cavé! 👏 Three categories entered. Three titles won! Women's Elite Singles, Women's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles, all in one tournament. 🏆 Proud to be backing the World Number 1 in racketlon. 🔥

"SaaS isn't dead. Mediocrity is." @TCuvelie (RTP Global, backed Lovable at pre-seed) explains exactly where value is being built right now and what disappears. Full conversation LIVE NOW! Link in the Comments

We’re excited to double down on @Nava_Cloud (formerly Kluisz) in their $22M Series A, alongside @Greenoaks and @unicornindia! 🙌 As AI adoption accelerates across Asia, the gap between what enterprises need and what existing cloud infrastructure can deliver is widening. Most of the region's data centre capacity was built for general-purpose computing. GPU-intensive AI workloads need something fundamentally different. Nava is building to close this gap with a full-stack AI cloud that brings together AI-optimised data centres, high-performance GPU compute, and AI-native orchestration for enterprises across Asia-Pacific. As early backers, we remain impressed with the clarity and speed with which @ahnis, Vamshidhar, and Abhijeet have been building, in this highly complex space. Congratulations to the entire Nava team! 👏

We're excited to lead @kestra_io's $25M Series A! 🙌 Every enterprise is stitching together AI, data, and infrastructure workflows with tools that weren't built for this complexity. @DarrasEmmanuel and @tchiotludo built Kestra to replace that fragmentation with one open-source orchestration platform. Now, some of the world's largest enterprises already run mission-critical workflows on it. Next up: Kestra 2.0 and native orchestration for AI agents. Congratulations to the entire team! 👏 cc: @TCuvelie @tomfsheridan

Proud to be a part of this journey at OZi, can't wait to see more milestones together! 🚀 @Adwitiya_Amit | @rtpvc

We are proud to double down on @StableMoney_ and continue our partnership in their new $25M Pre-Series C round! 🚀 We’ve had a front-row seat to @saurabhjain1099 and Harish’s vision since the early days. They saw that while fixed income is a cornerstone of Indian households, the experience was stuck in the past. They set out to build a simple, modern and digital-first platform, prioritizing transparency and trust. That belief has paid off: 50 Lakh users have invested over ₹5,000 Cr on the platform. Excited to support the team as they strengthen their on-ground presence and deepen partnerships. Huge congratulations to the entire Stable Money team! 👋

We are joining the Mobility Finance Network to bring together leaders who are reshaping how we finance and scale global talent mobility. 🌏 Our Partner and CEO Galina Chifina will join leaders from The Shapiro Foundation, World Education Services, Owl Ventures, and Labor Mobility Partnerships to explore how different organizations can come together to drive systemic impact.

Documentation has existed for decades. So has frustration. Today, Trupeer has launched the world’s first truly AI documentation platform. Some say it changes everything. Some say that’s a dangerous claim. You decide.

Excited to back @varahaearth again in their Series B! 🌿 This round powers geographic expansion, scientific & MRV capabilities, and partnerships as they build a global carbon removal leader from India. Huge congrats to the entire Varaha team! 👏

“I want 90% of our projects to fail. When you work on hard things, they rarely succeed. But when they do, you’ve built something incredible.” That’s how Dr. Luc Julia set the tone as we kicked off the first Crème de la Tech dinner by @rtpvc last night in Palo Alto. We brought together some of the most exciting Europeans in tech across the Valley including founders, engineers from Meta, Nvidia, Deepmind, Cognition and Apple and students and researchers from Stanford. Luc shared lessons from over 30 years in Silicon Valley: from research at Stanford, to working at Apple, Samsung, and Google, to founding companies (including the one Apple acquired that became the foundation for Siri). The evening was filled with insights on the cyclical nature of technology, behind-the-scenes stories of the Valley, and a few memorable anecdotes about Steve Jobs. @marvinvonhagen @adri_lemercier

By automating key workflows and enhancing orchestration, the startup positions itself as a game-changer in enterprise cloud management for the AI-driven future.

AI M&A is heating up 🔥 and it's clear that enterprises now prefer buying over building AI tech. RTP's @ewakompowska shares how AI startups can become must-acquire targets. Read more: techmonitor.ai/comment-2/ai-… #AI #MergersAndAcquisitions #Startups
