Wonderful just raised five hundred fifty million dollars at a five billion dollar valuation, twenty months after launching. That's the number that sets the tone for everything else today.
SciFin emerged from stealth today with forty-four million in seed funding, co-led by Altimeter and Madrona. The founder is Mohit Aron, who previously built Nutanix and Cohesity.
HiddenLayer closed a hundred million dollar Series B. Delta-v Capital led, with Morgan Stanley, Microsoft's M12, and Booz Allen all participating.
Tripo AI closed four hundred forty-six million dollars in a Series B-plus round denominated in Chinese yuan, backed by Chinese strategic and financial investors. The company builds production-ready three-dimensional generation infrastructure.
Félix raised two hundred million dollars for its WhatsApp remittance platform, but the structure is what's worth tracking. Eighty-seven million in equity came from Andreessen Horowitz.
Two other rounds worth flagging. Gridsight, a Sydney-based company, raised twenty-six million in a Series B led by Insight Partners.
The through-line today is infrastructure. Not consumer AI, not foundation models.
