SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AtoB, the leading provider of modern payment solutions for the transportation industry, today announced significant growth and strategic milestones, including $130 million in new equity and debt funding to further support product and team expansion. This momentum reflects AtoB’s dedication to transforming the transportation sector through cutting-edge fintech solutions and strategic partnerships.

AtoB successfully raised $130 million in a combined Series C equity and debt funding round, led by General Catalyst and Bloomberg Beta along with participation from Mastercard and leading trucking and logistics industry players. This funding will drive AtoB’s continued growth and innovation in supporting fleet owners, trucking companies, and truck drivers, a critical yet often underserved industry.

“As AtoB continues to grow and scale, we remain dedicated to transforming the trucking industry’s financial systems,” shared AtoB CEO Vignan Velivela. “Trucking is one of the largest occupations in the US, with small and medium-sized trucking businesses making up the vast majority of fleets today. These milestones will allow us to better support truckers and the small businesses they represent–the backbone of America’s economy – with tools that allow for transparency and efficiency.”

The combination of rising fuel costs and tight profit margins undermines the financial stability of those working tirelessly to keep goods moving across the country. By simplifying payment processes and providing 24×7 instant access to earnings through the AtoB Carrier Wallet – designed for managing both fuel and non-fuel expenses – AtoB helps drivers optimize their finances, reduce fraud, and maintain the stability essential for success in a challenging industry.

In the past year, AtoB has achieved remarkable growth with a 500% increase in revenue and volume with its partners. This growth has been driven by strategic partnerships, including their work with Uber Freight to offer a co-branded fuel card to their customers. These partnerships enhance AtoB’s services by delivering effective solutions for on-road purchases, enabling carriers and drivers to manage fuel expenses, streamline logistics, and reduce costs on long hauls.

Partnering with companies like Mastercard and Uber Freight and several top-10 brokerages, freight factoring and energy companies enables AtoB to deliver valuable and reliable service to even more small and medium-sized customers. Focusing on innovative payment solutions and strategic partnerships across the trucking ecosystem, AtoB is well-positioned for continued growth in supporting America’s trucking industry.

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.

The investment is aimed at supporting certification and commercial production of Joby’s electric air taxi.

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.
