| 59,858 | 12/11/2026 12:00 PM | Mondrio secures $3.75M to rethink B2B pricing with AI agents | mondrio-secures-dollar375m-to-rethink-b2b-pricing-with-ai-agents | 12/11/2026 | AI-powered B2B pricing platform Mondrio has raised a $3.75 million funding round led by Heartcore Capital, with participation from Pretiosum VC, Hersir Ventures, Cambrena Capital and Momo VC, alongside angel investors with experience in pricing, CPQ, AI and payments. Founded in 2026 by Gregor Biljardt and Joep van den Nieuwenhoff, Mondrio operates across Amsterdam and San Francisco. The company develops an AI-powered platform designed to help businesses develop and execute pricing strategies, optimise revenue and automate related workflows. As AI accelerates product development, businesses are introducing new features, products and business models at a pace that traditional pricing processes often struggle to match. Pricing strategies that previously remained relevant for extended periods can quickly become outdated as market conditions, customer expectations and competitive dynamics change. The growing adoption of AI also introduces new pricing challenges, particularly for software companies. Unlike traditional software products with relatively low marginal costs, AI-powered services can generate variable costs with each interaction, making effective pricing increasingly important for maintaining profitability. Mondrio aims to address these challenges by combining AI agents with pricing expertise to help businesses continuously adapt their pricing strategies. Its platform analyses product changes, customer behaviour, competitive intelligence and market signals to identify pricing opportunities and recommend adjustments. The platform consists of two complementary products. Pricing Studio supports the design and optimisation of product packaging, pricing models and price levels, while Deal Engine brings pricing intelligence into individual transactions, providing guidance on quotes, discounts, negotiations and renewals. It also automates quoting and approval processes within predefined parameters. By connecting pricing strategy with deal execution, Mondrio enables information from individual transactions to inform future pricing decisions. Businesses can use the platform to support their existing pricing teams or access Mondrio's pricing experts for additional assistance.
said Gregor Biljardt, Mondrio’s co-founder and CEO. Mondrio's platform also addresses changes in B2B purchasing, as AI increasingly influences how businesses research products, compare solutions and negotiate commercial terms. The company aims to help businesses manage pricing decisions when interacting with both human buyers and AI-powered purchasing tools. With the new funding, Mondrio plans to expand its AI, engineering and pricing teams, advance its agent capabilities and further connect pricing strategy with deal execution. The company also intends to strengthen its commercial presence in the United States and Europe, while expanding its reach beyond B2B technology into manufacturing and professional services. |

The $20m Series B funding round was led by Octagon Partners with participation from Notion Capital, A+ Ventures, Nordic Ninja, Breega and other existing investors. Griffin, whose CEO David Jarvis is a former Airbnb executive, has now raised around $95m in total. Griffin is what is called a banking-as-a-service provider. It has a UK banking licence, which allows fintechs and businesses to offer banking services to their customers without them having to acquire the necessary banking licences. Its tech allows companies to integrate bank accounts and payments into their own apps and platforms, as well as offering services such as KYC and anti-money-laundering. It says that since launching as a licenced bank two years ago, more than 80 companies are building on its infrastructure, including Uber. The London-based fintech says it will use the funds to expand its suite of banking services, such as card issuing and stablecoin services. The funds, it says, will also help steer the UK fintech through to making a full-year profit. Jarvis, CEO and co-founder, Griffin, said: “This round lets us go further: cards and stablecoins are the natural next layer for our infrastructure, and the response from investors so far reflects the scale of the opportunity ahead of us. We’re delighted to have Octagon leading this round alongside our existing investors." |

UFORCE builds autonomous uncrewed platforms across sea, land and air, and the AI software, orchestration, and command-and-control (C2) layer that operates them. Its goal is to make defence a hundred times cheaper than offensive operations. Its products include the MAGURA family of uncrewed surface vessels, the NEMESIS family of strike platforms, the LIUT family of ground robotic platforms, the PREDATOR turret family counter-UAS systems, and C2, the software that controls them. The MAGURA Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) family has contributed to the destruction of more than a dozen Russian warships in the Black Sea and has shot down multiple helicopters and fighter aircraft in combat. The Ukrainian armed forces have used MAGURAs as a mobile maritime base for multi-domain operations, launching NEMESIS UAVs for long-range strikes against targets like air defence systems. NEMESIS Class 1 heavy strike UAV platforms, both multi-use and one-way attack, are among the most widely deployed bombers and strike UAVs on the Ukrainian battlefield, with more than 300,000 combat flights and adopted across 100+ units. Valor Equity Partners and the UK National Wealth Fund (NWF) co-led the funding round, with participation from the US–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund (URIF). The round also drew leading investors from across Silicon Valley, Europe, and Asia, including Menlo Ventures, Xantium, and Hiro Capital. Existing investors, including Shield Capital, Ballistic Ventures, Lakestar, and Squadra, also increased their stakes in UFORCE. According to Oleg Rogynskyy, Chief Executive Officer of UFORCE, the war in Ukraine has shown that in an increasingly volatile world, effective defence requires systems that can keep improving as threats change.
The funding round will empower UFORCE to expand and distribute its production capacity across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, manufacturing its platforms close to the theaters where they are needed while helping allied nations expand their sovereign manufacturing capabilities. This distributed capacity will enable UFORCE to maintain continuous production and supply front-line troops with uncrewed systems despite continued attacks in Ukraine, while bringing advanced capabilities to the battlefield.

| 59,851 | 12/11/2026 10:29 AM | Gama secures €15M to tackle the growing power demands of satellites | gama-secures-euro15m-to-tackle-the-growing-power-demands-of-satellites | 12/11/2026 | Gama, the French company building ultra-light deployable solar arrays for satellites, today announced €15 million in Seed funding from Transition, Planet A, Draper Associates, and Manta Ray. Power is becoming the bottleneck in orbit. Direct-to-device networks, broadband constellations and orbital data centres need far more electrical power per satellite than previous generations. Every watt comes from solar array surface area, and all of that area has to fold into a rocket fairing for launch. Gama's deployable solar array Wing packs very large arrays into a small stowed volume. Designed for simplicity and scale production, it aims to achieve an industry-leading cost per watt. Wing is designed as a complete power system: solar generation, sun-tracking array rotation, power management and optional energy storage, all in one integrated unit. Gama also supplies the control algorithms that keep a satellite stable with such a large array attached, to run on the customer's flight computer. Supply has not kept pace with that demand. Most satellite makers still rely on specialised III-V solar cells, made in small volumes by a handful of suppliers, with lead times of a year or more. Gama instead takes high-volume terrestrial silicon cells, the kind made by the billion for rooftops, and makes them ready for space to break the cell supply and cost bottleneck. Because Gama develops both the deployable hardware and the software that controls these very large surfaces in orbit, the Wing architecture is designed to scale to much higher power levels as satellites grow. "For years the hard part of space was getting there. Launch has become dramatically cheaper, unlocking vast new applications, and the constraint has moved to power," said Andrew Nutter, CEO and cofounder of Gama.
Gama targets six-month lead times for Wing once its production line is running, with lead times dropping further as volumes grow. In September 2026, Gama and Eclipse Space, a provider of customer-owned satellite constellations founded by former SpaceX Starlink engineers, announced a partnership under which Gama will supply deployable solar arrays as the power layer for Eclipse's satellite platforms. Gama will deliver its first demonstration unit in summer 2027. Gama's engineering team is led by CTO Daniel Chapman and VP of Engineering Duncan Adams, both of whom built Starlink hardware and production lines at SpaceX. The new funding will be used to:
"At SpaceX we learned that building one great piece of hardware is not the hard part. Building thousands is," said Daniel Chapman, CTO of Gama.
"Energy in orbit is becoming critical infrastructure, and the way it is produced matters," said Nick de la Forge, Co-founder and GP at Planet A.
"Europe needs companies that can build strategic space hardware at industrial scale," said Ari Helgason, Co-founder and GP at Transition.

Biomatter develops computational technology to design enzymes tailored to specific chemical reactions and industrial applications. Rather than modifying existing natural enzymes, the company focuses on creating enzymes based on the chemistry required for a particular process. Enzymes play an important role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, agriculture and industrial biotechnology. However, conventional enzyme development can take months or even years, particularly when naturally occurring enzymes are unsuitable for specific applications. To address these challenges, Biomatter combines computational models with laboratory testing to develop enzymes with properties suited to customers' requirements. Its technology draws on a proprietary dataset of experimentally characterised enzymes, which expands with each development programme. According to the company, its enzyme design process currently takes weeks rather than months or years. Biomatter has developed custom enzymes for enterprise customers across Europe, the United States and Japan, including AstraZeneca, BASF, Sanofi and Tereos. Its technology is also used in commercial products, including an enzyme developed in collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific to improve stability for molecular biology and mRNA research applications. The company has also designed a methylase for mRNA vaccine manufacturing that operates without S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), an expensive additive required by naturally occurring methylases, enabling a chemical reaction not found in nature.
said Laurynas Karpus, CEO and co-founder of Biomatter. With the new funding, Biomatter plans to establish a 2,000-square-metre enzyme design and testing facility in Vilnius, scheduled to open in 2027. The facility is intended to bring more development and testing activities in-house and reduce enzyme development timelines from weeks to days. The company will also expand its commercial team and presence in the United States, while continuing to develop its computational platform and proprietary enzyme dataset. |

The round included participation from Exor Ventures, Tenacity Capital, TGVG Capital and Fastweb+Vodafone (via Founders Factory), alongside returning investors and angel investors. CDP Venture Capital SGR also supported the round through its Digital Transition Fund, backed by the European Union's NextGenerationEU programme. As businesses increase their investment in artificial intelligence, measuring its impact on productivity, operational efficiency and revenue has become an important challenge. While AI agents are increasingly used to support employees, handle customer enquiries and automate everyday tasks, many organisations still struggle to determine the returns on these investments. The challenge is particularly complex for enterprises using AI agents from multiple providers alongside internally developed solutions. Traditional metrics, such as the number of users, prompts or responses, provide insight into adoption but do not necessarily show whether AI is saving time, improving workflows or generating additional revenue. Nebuly addresses this gap through a platform that analyses how AI agents are used across an organisation, bringing together data from employee-facing tools and customer-facing assistants to measure their business impact. For internal AI applications, the platform evaluates efficiency gains, including time saved and additional capacity, as well as new tasks that employees can perform with AI assistance. It also identifies how different teams use AI, whether it is being applied to high-value activities and where additional training could improve its effectiveness. For customer-facing AI assistants, Nebuly measures AI-influenced revenue and identifies potential customer churn risks and upselling opportunities. The platform also allows leadership and finance teams to review and adjust the assumptions behind its calculations.
said Francesco Signorato, co-founder and CEO of Nebuly. Nebuly integrates with existing enterprise AI systems, including custom-built tools and assistants based on Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Its models analyse agent behaviour at scale and can operate on-premises or within a customer's private cloud, allowing organisations to process enterprise data without sending it to external model APIs. With the new funding, Nebuly plans to expand its go-to-market team across the United States and Europe and further develop its platform to support enterprises in measuring the business value of AI. |
