Source: http://go.intelligence360.io/ and https://intelligence360.news/ Across the United States, a new industrial age is taking shape. Trillions of dollars in infrastructure, from energy projects and advanced manufacturing to data centers and critical mineral facilities, must be built in the next decade. But large construction projects are slower and more expensive today than they were half a century ago. Unlimited Industries, a California-based company using AI to rethink how infrastructure gets built, has raised $12 million in seed funding to change that. The round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and CIV, with participation from leading industry investors. The capital will accelerate Unlimited’s expansion and further develop its proprietary AI platform – one designed to make large-scale engineering and construction faster, cheaper, and more ambitious. Unlike traditional construction firms or standard software companies, Unlimited is an AI-native construction company that both designs and builds. Its proprietary platform can generate and evaluate hundreds of thousands of design configurations in parallel, automatically identifying optimal layouts for cost, safety, and performance before construction begins. By integrating AI-driven design with its own vertically integrated engineering and construction teams, Unlimited eliminates the costly handoffs and misaligned incentives that have defined the industry for decades. In a statement Alex Modon, Co-Founder and CEO of Unlimited Industries said, “Advances in AI mean we can finally build the physical world the way we build software.” “The traditional construction model is slow, brittle, and fundamentally misaligned. Our approach replaces static design choices with a dynamic, data-driven process that learns from every project. The result is faster, cheaper, and more successful projects.” Unlimited is an AI-native construction company headquartered in San Francisco. Today, the company designs and builds across energy infrastructure, data centers, critical minerals, and advanced manufacturing, helping developers build with greater speed, ambition, and efficiency. Their mission is to build a future of radical physical abundance by automating construction end-to-end. The company was founded in 2025 by serial founders Alex Modon, Jordan Stern, and Tara Viswanathan.

The company will use the capital to expand its product, scale its team, and grow its global footprint as demand for trustworthy, intelligent search accelerates. Shopping has quietly become one of the hardest problems on the internet. People spend a collective lifetime moving between tabs, filtering through over-SEO’d listings, comparing conflicting reviews, and trying to work out what is real and what is marketing. The average person takes 79 days to make a single purchase decision, and the number is growing. Onton was built to reset this experience by making every decision as informed as asking an expert and as easy as asking a friend. The timing is significant. Traditional e-commerce is struggling under the weight of unstructured data and models that were never designed for the volume or complexity of information the modern web produces. Existing search engines rely on keyword matching, outdated filters, or advertising incentives that often push relevance to the background. Onton combines a new interface with a novel neurosymbolic AI foundation that learns more about the world with every search, dramatically increasing accuracy and enabling people to move from discovery to decision in minutes. In a statement Zach Hudson, CEO and Co-Founder of Onton said, “We are building the future of decision making online.” “People deserve a way to shop that feels intelligent, transparent, and effortless. Onton is designed to remove the friction that slows everyone down and to give users absolute confidence in their choices.” Looking ahead, Onton plans to expand beyond home decor and furniture into new categories like apparel and electronics, guided by the demand it already sees from users. The company will continue refining its knowledge graph, scaling its data pipeline, and preparing to introduce a customizable search engine that adapts to each individual. Over time, Onton aims to become a global decision making tool that supports any product, in any category, in any country.

Source: http://go.intelligence360.io/ and https://intelligence360.news/ SAFE, the leader in Autonomous Cyber Risk Quantification and Management, today announced its acquisition of Balbix, a recognized Leader in Continuous Threat Exposure Management. With this milestone, SAFE and Balbix unveil the ultimate Agentic-AI-powered cyber risk platform – one that links every exposure, control failure, and vulnerability to real business impact, a capability unmatched by any CTEM and CRQ vendor today. For the first time, organizations can run on a single, living source of truth, enabling remediation, reporting, and resource allocation to be driven by a unified, real-time understanding of cyber risk. For decades, security operations and cyber risk operations have worked in parallel but disconnected worlds – using independent assessment models, fragmented data, and incompatible processes. This separation has made it nearly impossible to link day-to-day vulnerabilities to top business risks, often leading to unfocused investments and leaving attackers with a target-rich environment. In a statement Saket Modi, Co-Founder and CEO of SAFE said, “This is a gamechanger for the cybersecurity industry.” “Our goal from day one has been clear: build CyberAGI – the definitive system of intelligence and action for the modern CISO. We started with risk; Balbix started with exposure. Two companies chasing the same summit from opposite sides. This acquisition brings those missions together and propels us into the future of security operations and cyber risk management, in one unified Agentic-AI platform.” Gaurav Banga, Founder and CEO of Balbix, who is joining SAFE as the President of CTEM added, “Balbix has always helped customers understand what’s exploitable.” “With SAFE, we take that capability to an entirely new level. Together, we can tie every exposure to business impact and drive immediate, decisive action. This isn’t incremental – we’re delivering the unified cyber risk platform the industry has been waiting for.” SAFE is redefining cyber risk management with Agentic AI. We empower CISOs, cybersecurity, and TPRM leaders to continuously quantify, prioritize, and mitigate cyber risks across their entire attack surface – enabling digital growth and organizational resilience. Trusted by industry leaders including Google, Fidelity, T-Mobile, Chevron, and IHG, SAFE has achieved triple-digit revenue growth every year since the launch of its platform in 2020, and raised over $170 million to date.

The round was led by Headline, with participation from Y Combinator, SixThirty Ventures, Correlation Ventures, and a select group of strategic angels. Since graduating from Y Combinator’s Summer 2022 batch, AiPrise has grown to 150+ global customers and a 40-person team, powering onboarding for leading enterprises, including Bridge (a Stripe Company) and D.Local. In a statement Chaitanya Sarda, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of AiPrise said, “Global companies shouldn’t have to rebuild compliance infrastructure every time they expand into a new country,” “We’re thrilled to have the support from Headline, who made a dozen introductions to companies in their network. With this Series A funding, we’re expanding our product and team to meet growing demand. Our goal is to give companies a single, intelligent layer for onboarding and compliance so they can focus on growth while we handle the complexity behind the scenes.” Onboarding across borders is harder than ever. Regulations vary by country, systems don’t connect, and fraud tactics from deepfakes to synthetic identities are moving faster than most companies can keep up. Traditionally, companies stitch together multiple point solutions to manage compliance, juggling vendors and integrations across regions. This approach is slow, expensive, and brittle. AiPrise solves this with orchestration. AiPrise takes a full-stack approach to compliance, uniting three powerful layers into one seamless solution: data from 80+ local registries worldwide, a platform with advanced decisioning and case management tools, and AI agents that automate reviews and speed resolution. By bringing these elements together, AiPrise enables global businesses to onboard customers faster, reduce risk, and scale with confidence.

Other investors included Greycroft, Atria, Alumni Ventures, Gaingels, and Mana Ventures, along with strategic angel investors from across the life sciences, healthcare, and technology industries. Generating documentation for regulatory approval remains a critical drug development bottleneck. New drugs require over 200,000 pages spanning more than 1,500 unique documents.

Backed by a $25 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and GV. Counsel combines the immediacy of AI with the oversight of licensed physicians to deliver care that is faster, safer, and more cost-effective at scale. This follows the company’s $11 million Seed raise, led by a16z in October 2024, underscoring the need for a healthcare experience that combines medical AI with in-house doctors.

Counsel was designed to address these challenges while meeting the strict compliance and governance requirements of payers and employers. Counsel members can use chat or voice messaging to receive instant, context-aware answers to any health question, with Counsel’s physicians ready to step in as needed for diagnosis, prescriptions, or referrals, providing follow-up until concerns are resolved. In a statement Muthu Alagappan, Chief Executive Officer of Counsel Health said, “Health plans and employers don’t just need more access points, they need ones they can rely on.” “By combining AI speed with physician judgment, Counsel delivers trusted answers members act on—and real cost savings for plans.” The funding will support the growth of Counsel’s physician network, continued investment in AI, and enterprise partnerships with payers, employers, and provider groups.

It reflects our commitment to our team, our fans, and the city of Los Angeles, and sets a new standard for what a professional sports organization can provide for its athletes." The interior of the facility and the home of business operations of the Sparks was designed by Studio Blitz a women-run commercial design firm known for creating fluid, fresh, and community-oriented spaces that celebrate the power of women.

In a deal arranged by JLL, the company has agreed to occupy 68,301 square feet in El Segundo California. Canvas is moving from its previous location at 12015 Bluff Creek Drive, where the company occupies 36,000 square feet. The move is expected to be completed by Mid 2026. In a statement Paul Woolmington Canvas Worldwide Chief Executive Officer said, “This expansion comes at a milestone moment for Canvas Worldwide, which is our 10th anniversary! Over the past decade, we’ve grown steadily across the country, thanks to incredible clients on the West Coast and nationwide.” “While doubling our office space is certainly about accommodating growth… it’s also a commitment to our future. Independent agencies are having a real moment right now, and we believe there’s tremendous opportunity for a scaled independent like Canvas Worldwide to continue building on this momentum.” This move is a symbol of the company’s continued growth a decade after its initial launch. The new office at 2330 Utah Ave. in El Segundo will provide the company with a much larger space, but also with upgraded amenities and a spot in a market where media and innovation-driven companies are thriving. Designed by Frank Gehry, the low-rise building totaling 87,126 square feet came online in 2018. The property offers its tenants a private outdoor space, natural lighting, 24 foot-ceilings and an on-site site-cafe. According to Yardi Research Data, the building is LEED Silver certified and also includes 276 parking spaces. Canvas is working with Clive Wilkinson Architects to transform the new office into a “third space” to foster collaboration and connection once the company moves in. Located along Utah Ave. in El Segundo, the new office space is part of the larger Los Angeles office market. Canvas Worldwide will be just over 20 miles outside of downtown Los Angeles.
