TEL AVIV, Israel & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Package.ai, an AI-based platform that revolutionizes customer engagement and last-mile logistics for big-box retailers and service providers, today announced a minority growth investment led by Susquehanna Growth Equity (SGE), an entrepreneur-centric growth equity firm. SGE’s investment marks the first institutional fundraise for Package.ai, which has been mostly bootstrapped since inception.

The funding round comes amid a unique paradigm shift for the broader retail sector underpinned by the advent of AI-enabled tools that are driving industry-wide modernization and customer standards as retailers across the globe increasingly seek ways to create a platform that combines an ‘Amazon-like’ customer engagement experience with an ‘Uber-like’ delivery experience. Package.ai has been transformational for home furnishing retailers and service providers that previously relied on legacy systems that placed logistics and customer service in separate silos across their business. By uniquely combining Gen-AI technology, last-mile intelligence and customer engagement data, Package.ai is pioneering retail’s pivot towards modernization as more and more brands seek to improve operational efficiency while providing humanlike services at scale with a more personalized customer experience from the website or store interactions through to the final step of the delivery process.

“We are excited to have found a vision-aligned partnership in SGE as we continue our mission of helping retailers modernize and enhance their operations with a customer-centric view,” said Ziv Fass, Co-founder and CEO of Package.ai. “The tech and retail industry is evolving from point solutions for last-mile management and customer engagement to a unified and specialized AI platform. This paradigm shift enables our customers to break the tradeoff between logistical efficiency and a quality customer experience to generate significant gains in customer satisfaction and loyalty. We look forward to collaborating with SGE, whose operational expertise and belief in our mission will be invaluable as Package.ai continues on its growth trajectory.”

“Package.ai is at the forefront of the AI revolution, and we are evolving the way in which retailers and home service providers operate and interact with their customers,” said Yoav Sadeh, Co-Founder and CTO of Package.ai. “We are constantly innovating our platform with custom AI capabilities and last-mile intelligence, and with these expanded capabilities, we are actively helping brands strengthen the relationships with their customers, who in turn become online advocates and repeat buyers.”

Founded in 2017 in Tel Aviv, Package.ai is expanding rapidly, serving hundreds of partner brands globally, and has positioned itself to be the new industry standard for furniture and appliance retailers seeking to leverage AI to create a lasting competitive advantage and future-proof their business, without interruptions to their operations. Package.ai intends to expand its evolving base of retail customers across North America. Some of their current customers include Ashley DSG, Big Sandy Home Furnishings, Bob Mills, Yale Appliance, and more.

“We are proud to partner with Package.ai, which has built an established platform at a level competitive with brand names like Amazon and Wayfair through its differentiated model and relentless innovation to solve a common problem in the industry. It is a rare feat for an Israeli-based, bootstrapped company to achieve this level of success with large retail brands operating on a global level, and we look forward to supporting their growth,” said Noa Wolfson, Partner at SGE who led the investment and will join Package.ai’s Board of Directors.

TAE Technologies, the leading fusion energy company developing the cleanest and safest approach to commercial fusion power, today announced that it has raised more than $150 million in its latest funding round, exceeding the company’s initial target for the round. Chevron, Google and NEA participated in the round, among other new and existing investors. TAE has the option to raise additional capital as part of this funding round. With more than $1.3 billion in equity capital raised since inception, this latest fundraise further validates TAE’s distinctive approach to commercial fusion.

In a statement Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies, said: “Fusion has the potential to transform the energy landscape, providing near-limitless clean power at a time when the world’s energy needs are growing exponentially due to the growth of AI and data centers. TAE’s technology uses the soundest physics to deliver superior performance in a compact machine, with attractive economics and best-in-class maintainability. We are leading the charge to develop revolutionary fusion technology for full-scale commercial deployment.”

TAE was founded in 1998 to develop commercial fusion power with the cleanest environmental profile. The company has established itself as a leader in an industry that has the potential to transform the energy economy. Since 2014, TAE and Google Research have worked together to accelerate fusion science using cutting-edge machine learning. Google engineers worked onsite at TAE facilities to co-develop advanced plasma reconstruction algorithms, leading to significantly improved plasma lifetime and performance. Fusion is nature’s preferred source of energy. It is the same process that powers the sun and stars, and it is what makes life viable on Earth. When lighter elements fuse under immense heat and pressure, they form new elements and release a tremendous amount of energy. This process is safer than conventional nuclear power because fusion can be stopped at any time – eliminating the risk of a power plant meltdown. TAE remains singularly committed to advancing the frontiers of science and innovation to benefit humanity. With a steadfast resolve to redefine the energy landscape, TAE Technologies is at the forefront of the fusion revolution, poised to usher in a new era of sustainable and limitless power generation for a better tomorrow.

Joby Aviation, a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, announced the successful closing of the first $250 million tranche of a previously announced strategic investment from Toyota Motor Corporation. The funding marks a significant milestone in strengthening the long-term collaboration between the two companies and supports their shared vision for the future of air mobility. The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi. This underscores the mutual commitment to deepening integration and delivering next generation travel to global markets. This investment also puts the two companies a step closer toward a strategic manufacturing alliance.

In a statement JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO of Joby said, “We’re already seeing the benefit of working with Toyota in streamlining manufacturing processes and optimizing design.” “This is an important next step in our alliance with Toyota to scale the promise of electric flight. With this capital and Toyota’s legendary production expertise, we’re enhancing our ability to scale cutting-edge design and manufacturing to meet the demands of our partners and customers.”

Joby Aviation is a California-based transportation company developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing air taxi which it intends to operate as part of a fast, quiet, and convenient service in cities around the world. Powered by six electric motors, their aircraft takes off and lands vertically, giving it the flexibility to serve almost any community. Flying with Joby might feel more like getting into an SUV than boarding a plane. The company's aerial ridesharing service will combine the ease of conventional ridesharing with the power of flight. A green alternative to driving that's bookable at the touch of an app. With more than 30,000 miles flown on full-scale prototype aircraft, their aircraft is designed to meet the uncompromising safety standards set by the FAA and other global aviation regulators. Joby Aviation is now engaged in a multi-year testing program with the FAA to certify their vehicle for commercial operations, and have completed the first three of five stages.
