TOP PICKS 📢

1/3

Amount: $47M 🎉

Round: Series A

Lead Investor: ICONIQ Growth

TinyFish offers enterprise web agents.

Their agents use advanced reasoning to navigate changing interfaces, authenticate where needed, extract structured data, capture insights, and trigger downstream processes without requiring APIs or backend access. Enterprises can automate previously manual, outsourced, or infeasible web operations such as real‑time pricing intelligence, large‑scale data aggregation, and inventory integration.

2/3

Amount: $314M 🎉

Lead Investor: Bezos Expeditions, Prysm, Temasek

FieldAI builds Field Foundation Models (FFMs) which power robotic systems to navigate and perform tasks without needing pre-mapped layouts, GPS signals, or hardcoded movement paths.

FFMs are risk-aware and generalise across humanoids, quadrupeds, autonomous vehicles, and other machines. They incorporate physics-based reasoning to assess how confident they are in any decision and defer action when that confidence falls below a defined threshold. The models learn from a blend of on‑site operational data and large volumes of synthetic data generated via thousands of simulations using Nvidia’s open‑source Isaac Lab.

3/3

Amount: $17M 🎉

Round: Seed

Lead Investor: Cherry Ventures, Google Ventures

Phoebe continuously monitors live system data and autonomously resolves software issues in production.

Their system of AI “swarms” crawl through fragmented telemetry, logs, and system states to generate and evaluate competing hypotheses about what’s going wrong. Once a root cause is identified, Phoebe’s agents generate code or infrastructure changes to remediate the issue.

FOR CURIOUS MINDS

From LLM Wrappers to RL Sculptors: The Dawn of Reasoning AI - Battery Ventures

In July 2025, OpenAI competed in the International Math Olympiad — and won gold. They did it not by memorizing past problems, but by reasoning step-by-step like human contestants. A month later, OpenAI competed in the analogous coding competition, the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) – and secured gold again. And they won with the… Continue reading From LLM Wrappers to RL Sculptors: The Dawn of Reasoning AI
