DENVER, Feb. 10, 2026 — GenFlux, a platform helping brands track and optimize how they appear in AI-generated answers, announced a $4.2 million seed funding round led by Symbolic Capital, with participation from Borderless Capital, Frachtis, Glasswing Ventures, Dispersion Capital, Delphi Ventures, and Radical Ventures.

More than 40% of Gen Z now use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini as their primary search tools. In a world where AI engines recommend products directly — with no page two — most brands have zero visibility into whether they’re being mentioned, how they’re being described, or what they can do about it.

“In the age of AI search, there are no blue links — your brand either gets recommended or it doesn’t,” said a partner at Symbolic Capital. “GenFlux is building the essential infrastructure for brands to win in this new landscape.”

GenFlux pioneers AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), two emerging disciplines purpose-built for the AI search era. The platform includes:

• Multi-Engine Tracking: Real-time brand monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek, and Meta AI
• Answer Rank Scoring: Proprietary ranking system measuring where brands appear in AI-generated answers relative to competitors
• Query Intelligence: AI-powered discovery of the exact questions that trigger brand mentions, with optimization recommendations
• Content Optimizer: Automated suggestions to restructure content for maximum AI discoverability and citation

About GenFlux

GenFlux equips marketers to succeed as AI agents — rather than traditional search results — drive product discovery. The seed funding will be used to scale the engineering team, launch a self-serve platform, and expand go-to-market efforts across the US and Europe.

New funding led by Ten Coves Capital to fuel continued growth and U.S. expansion

DUBLIN and NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2026 — Circit, the audit confirmation and financial data verification platform, today announced a $22 million growth equity financing to scale its global verification network and embed trusted data at the core of every audit.

The round was led by Ten Coves Capital, a New York–based growth equity firm specializing in financial software, with strong participation from existing investors Aquiline and MiddleGame Ventures. Together, the investor group brings deep experience supporting enterprise technology companies that transform mission-critical infrastructure across audit, tax, and regulated financial services industries.

The funding follows a breakout year for Circit, with adoption across more than 400 audit firms – including all of the Top 20 global audit networks – and a verification network spanning over 30,000 banks, funds service providers, and other evidence providers. Over the past year, the Circit platform facilitated the confirmation of assets and liabilities for 150,000 corporate entities and, on average, independently verified over 100 million transactions.

This growth comes as demand from audit committees at the largest corporates is accelerating, with an expectation that auditors will increasingly leverage AI-enabled technology to deliver enhanced quality and better economics via real-time, verified audit data.

Building the Verification Layer for Modern Audit

Circit provides auditors with independent, source-verified audit evidence by connecting audit firms, financial institutions, law firms, and corporates through a secure, API-driven network.

The Circit platform allows auditors to replace manual, client-provided workflows with direct data connections that improve audit quality, speed, and trust and reduce the risk of large-scale financial fraud. The platform enables:

• Digital audit confirmations across bank and non-bank-held assets and liabilities
• Direct, permissioned access to bank-verified transaction data
• A single AI-driven end-to-end auditor to client collaboration, and data ingestion workflow that delivers critical evidence directly into the audit file

As the audit industry transitions from manual processes toward digital, continuous, and agentic workflows, Circit is emerging as the trusted verification layer underpinning the next-generation of AI-powered audit evidence, analytics and transaction insights.

The new capital will be used to invest in product innovation, including AI-powered workflows across all stakeholders in Circit’s audit confirmations network; deepen bank API connectivity; and scale go-to-market and customer success teams with a focus on the US and plans to double the Circit team over the next two years.

David Heath, Co-Founder and CEO of Circit, said, “We’re pleased to welcome Ten Coves and to partner with investors who understand the long-term importance of modernizing audit infrastructure. Audit confirmations are fundamental to trust in financial reporting, yet the process has remained manual, costly, and fraught with fraud risk for both auditors and corporates. Circit was built to change that—by giving auditors direct, independent access to confirm all asset and liability types on corporate balance sheets.

As financial infrastructure evolves through open banking, API access, and digital asset frameworks such as the GENIUS Act, Circit is building the verified data infrastructure to power AI-driven audit testing and workflows.”

“Circit is delivering critical infrastructure for the audit profession at a time of profound industry change,” said Steven Piaker, Managing Partner at Ten Coves Capital who will join the Circit Board. “Circit’s network-driven model, deep auditor adoption, and API-first architecture position it to become the trusted verification layer powering modern audit and compliance workflows globally.”

Giovanni Nani, Head of European Venture at Aquiline, added, “Repeated, high-profile audit failures have underscored the systemic risk of relying on unverified, client-provided data. Circit addresses this challenge head-on by enabling independent, real-time verification at scale across the audit ecosystem. At Aquiline, we focus on building businesses that matter by backing teams solving fundamental industry problems and supporting them as they scale globally. Circit is building critical verification infrastructure for the future of audit, and we’re excited to continue supporting the team as they expand the platform’s reach and impact across the industry.”

Patrick Pinschmidt, Co-Managing Partner of MiddleGame Ventures, noted that “Circit is operating at the intersection of powerful financial services trends — the digitization and automation of data augmented by differentiated AI tools that facilitate a global network to transact and manage risk in a faster and more secure manner.”

About Circit

Founded in 2017, Circit is an audit confirmation, data validation, and client collaboration platform that connects auditors directly with banks, financial institutions, and trusted counterparties to verify financial data at the source. Circit transforms manual confirmations and unstructured client-provided data into structured, independently verified audit evidence.

New investment arm reflects JumpCloud’s commitment to building a more secure and productive tech ecosystem

LOUISVILLE, Colo., Feb. 10, 2026 — JumpCloud Inc. has revealed the launch of its new venture arm, JumpCloud Ventures. JumpCloud Ventures will support early-stage companies building identity, security, AI, and IT productivity solutions. The program fuels the foundational technologies that help modern enterprises scale safely. The company also announced its first investment in Tofu, a startup focused on addressing identity fraud in hiring.

“Greg Keller and I have spent much of our careers building companies from the ground up,” said Rajat Bhargava, CEO, JumpCloud. “At our current scale, it is time to give back. We are supporting emerging companies tackling hard problems in identity and security. JumpCloud Ventures is about investing in innovation and helping these companies grow.”

JumpCloud Ventures is a long-term investment program and offers more than just capital. It gives portfolio companies access to JumpCloud’s experience, insights, and network as they grow. JumpCloud Ventures aims to support companies without prescribing product direction or integration.

Tofu, JumpCloud Ventures’ first investment, focuses on preventing identity fraud during the hiring process. This is an increasingly visible risk as organizations expand remote and distributed workforces.

“Identity-based attacks often begin long before a user ever logs in,” Bhargava said. “Hiring and onboarding represent an important but underexplored area of identity risk. Tofu is bringing new thinking to that problem, which is why we’re excited to support the team through JumpCloud Ventures.”

The investment reflects JumpCloud’s belief in Tofu’s vision and leadership, as well as the growing importance of identity verification earlier in the employee lifecycle.

“JumpCloud’s support is a strong validation of the problem we’re solving,” said Jason Zoltak, co-founder and CEO, Tofu. “Our mission is to build the identity and security platform for recruiting that helps establish a new foundation of trust in an AI and remote working world. This is a new problem that has suddenly emerged. While companies are ill-equipped to solve it, we’re ready to help every company establish a stronger layer of trust between talent, security, and candidates. We’re excited to work with the JumpCloud team as we continue to build and scale our platform.”

About JumpCloud

JumpCloud^® is the AI-powered unified IT management platform designed to secure the modern workforce. By consolidating identity, device, and access management, JumpCloud provides intelligent, secure IT that scales from human users to autonomous AI agents. We help organizations around the globe eliminate complexity and turn AI risk into an optimized advantage, ensuring the right people and agents have secure access to the right resources at all times.

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 10, 2026 — Today Stand Together Ventures Lab (STVL3, LLC), an early-stage investment firm that backs entrepreneurs solving society’s most pressing problems, as well as Cubit Capital, 8VC, and GSV, announced their investment in Training All People (TAP), a workforce development platform transforming how advanced manufacturing talent is trained, evaluated, and deployed. TAP enables employers and educators to reliably build and verify hands-on technical skills through immersive, simulation-based training, available in virtual reality, mobile, or any web browser.

As millions of Baby Boomers retire over the next decade, the shortage of younger workers with comparable training and education will create serious pressure on the labor market. TAP is helping strengthen U.S. manufacturing capability and resilience by addressing training bottlenecks and persistent gaps in hands-on technical readiness. Importantly, TAP is not just for people entering the workforce. It’s also a critical resource for reskilling and upskilling existing workers. Whether it’s a 45-year-old whose job has been displaced or an experienced employee adapting to new technology, TAP provides a lifeline that supports continuous career mobility. Its adaptive, AI-guided simulations offer realistic practice environments that help learners safely master real procedures, while giving employers objective insights into true competency before hiring or redeploying talent.

Traditional training is slow, inconsistent, and expensive. TAP solves some of the most persistent challenges facing employers and training institutions. New workers often lack hands-on experience with real equipment, so TAP provides safe, repeatable simulations that build practical skills without downtime. TAP also provides each trainee with a personalized AI coach to help them learn critical skills, evaluate their abilities, and prepare for interviews. Because interviews can’t reliably measure real ability, TAP uses objective, performance-based assessments to verify competency before hiring.

“At Stand Together Ventures Lab, we invest in solutions that unlock human potential and drive meaningful societal progress. TAP is a perfect fit for that thesis,” said Jonathan Jou, Managing Director, Head of Investments, STVL. “They are addressing one of the most pressing problems in the U.S. economy, which is developing a workforce that is truly prepared for advanced manufacturing and they’re doing it with technology that is both scalable and proven. TAP’s AI-guided simulations deliver measurable performance improvement and give workers and employers confidence rooted in real data. That combination of innovation, scalability, and impact is exactly why we’re investing.”

“America is on the cusp of an industrial renaissance that will lift up millions of lives,” said 8VC Managing Partner Joe Lonsdale. “TAP’s AI-enabled skills training will be an engine of this reindustrialization, helping companies develop and scale a talented workforce quickly and with confidence.”

“TAP’s platform helps America maintain its competitive edge in advanced manufacturing by solving one of the biggest barriers to innovation: the shortage of skilled technical talent,” said Gui Hadlich, Partner at Cubit Capital. “At Cubit, we invest at the intersection of frontier technologies and human flourishing, and TAP is an incredible example of a company advancing both. They’ve achieved significant traction in a short amount of time, and we’re excited to support their growth journey.”

TAP’s platform is already delivering meaningful results for partners across defense, manufacturing, and higher education. Northrop Grumman employees improved technical skills by 45%, and Austin Community College learners developed the confidence and proficiency to succeed in high-demand technical interviews.

“GSV is proud to support TAP for delivering learning systems that produce demonstrable skills giving employers confidence and learners access to upward mobility,” said Debroah Quazzo, Managing Director, GSV Ventures.

TAP’s adaptive simulations and AI tools equip employers to remotely assess hands-on competencies, onboard workers faster, and maintain high standards of operational performance. By strengthening industrial readiness, TAP helps ensure American manufacturing remains competitive, resilient, and equipped for the challenges ahead.

New funding will help more teens and young adults feel seen, supported, and connected when it matters most.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 10, 2026 — Somethings, a digital mental health platform designed for teens and young adults, today announced it has raised a Series A of $19.2 million total funding. The round was led by Catalio Capital, with participation from existing investors General Catalyst and Tusk Ventures.

As youth suicide has increased 62 percent and one in five high school students has seriously considered attempting suicide (CDC, 2023), the mental health needs of young people are accelerating faster than the systems designed to support them. Traditional models—often reactive, clinical, and difficult to access—are failing to reach youth early, when support can matter most.

Somethings was built to reinvent the way teens access mental health care, offering a fundamentally different approach to youth mental health—one grounded in human connection, relatability, and early intervention—by making it effortless for teens to connect with people who genuinely understand what they’re going through.

Through partnerships with schools, health plans, and community organizations, Somethings connects youth ages 13–26 with Certified Peer Specialist mentors (21+)—young adults with lived experience navigating mental health challenges who are professionally trained to provide support and guidance before concerns escalate into crises.

To date, Somethings has supported more than 11,000 teens through partnerships with state agencies and Medicaid health plans across the United States. Through these partnerships, Somethings has worked with 200+ schools and 250+ community organizations, achieving a 65% reduction in depression and a 60% reduction in suicidal ideation among participating youth.

“This funding allows us to scale a model that is already working—meeting young people where they are, when they need support most,” said Patrick Gilligan, Founder and CEO of Somethings. “Peer connection is powerful. When paired with the right training, clinical oversight, and technology, it can fundamentally change how young people experience mental health support and do so at scale.”

Somethings is built for the realities of being a teenager today. Through a secure, HIPAA-compliant mobile app, youth can connect with peer mentors on-demand, including after school and late evenings—when isolation and emotional distress are often highest. There are no waitlists, no transportation barriers, and no stigma—just immediate, relatable support delivered in a format teens trust.

The platform responsibly leverages AI to scale human care. Somethings’ proprietary technology never interacts directly with youth; instead, it equips peer mentors with tools that enhance engagement, support safety screening, and enable rapid clinical escalation when risk is detected. Technology is used to amplify human connection, not replace it.

The Series A funding will support:

• Expansion of Somethings’ partnerships with Medicaid programs, state governments, schools and healthcare organizations
• Continued investment in peer mentor training, clinical oversight, and youth centered outcomes
• Product and platform enhancements to improve accessibility and engagement
• Growth of the team to support long term impact and sustainability

With this milestone, Somethings is reaffirming its commitment to building a future where every young person has someone to talk to and doesn’t have to struggle alone.

About Somethings
Founded in 2021, Somethings is a digital mental health platform providing peer support to teens and young adults ages 13-26. By combining trained peer mentors, technology-enabled care, and partnerships with schools and healthcare organizations, Somethings helps young people navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2026 — Roo Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm that partners with founders to transform early-stage traction into durable market leadership through a proprietary value creation engine, today welcomed Varun Sridhar and Yuriy Dovzhansky as Principals. This expansion of their leadership team follows a year of significant scaling for their platform, deepening its commitment to category-defining companies across Vertical SaaS, AI, Healthcare Tech, and Cybersecurity.

Founded by three-time founder, and experienced operator and investor Nate DaPore, Roo Capital was built to move beyond the traditional venture check. The firm provides a high-velocity scaling engine by integrating flexible investment capital with an in-house executive search firm and a dedicated value-creation team focused on go-to-market execution. This Capital + Talent + Growth framework allows Roo to lead high-conviction rounds from Pre-Seed through Series A, offering the institutional rigor typically reserved for later-stage firms at early stage speed.

“I’ve always believed the enduring advantage in venture comes from people,” said Nate DaPore, Founding and Managing Partner of Roo Capital. “Institutional trust is built by the people doing the work day in and day out with conviction. Varun and Yuriy carry this forward through their collaborative partnerships with founders, adding depth to a platform built to move companies from their first milestones to long-term endurance.”

Varun Sridhar joins Roo Capital with nearly a decade of early-stage investing experience, most recently at RTP Global, VMG Technology, and Revel Partners. He began his career in investment banking at Solomon Partners, advising on M&A initiatives for technology and healthcare companies.

“Founders today are looking for more than a check; they need a partner who understands the high-level discipline required to build a company that endures,” said Sridhar. “Roo’s commitment to collaborating with founders on organizational scaling and building a best-in-class early team is exactly where I believe the most value is created in this market.”

Yuriy Dovzhansky brings a decade of experience spanning early-stage investing and strategy consulting, including senior investing roles at Visible Ventures, DNA Capital, and SWAT Equity Partners. He began his career at Monitor Deloitte, advising Fortune 50 companies on growth strategy and M&A.

“As AI strips away the technical barriers to company creation, human capital becomes the enduring advantage,” said Dovzhansky. “Industry-defining companies are built on compounding talent from day one, and Roo’s investing approach combines deep conviction and analytical rigor with an integrated executive search capability that gives founders a structural edge.”

The expansion of the investment team follows strong momentum for Roo Capital. The firm’s portfolio companies have achieved significant milestones, including GoTu (formerly TempMee), which recently secured a $45 million growth investment led by Long Ridge Equity Partners with participation from institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Building on this success, Roo Capital recently launched Discovery Fund II to lead high-conviction investments from Pre-Seed through Series A.

Led by Run Ventures and backed by the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, Algorized scales the ‘Predictive Safety Engine’ to eliminate the “Safety vs. Speed” trade-off in industrial automation.

Algorized = The Nervous System for Physical AI

CAMPBELL, Calif. and ÉTOY, Switzerland, Feb. 10, 2026 — Algorized, the company building the intelligence layer for Physical AI, announced the close of a $13M Series A financing round led by Run Ventures, with participation from the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Acrobator Ventures, as well as continued support from existing investors.

The investment scales the Predictive Safety Engine: a ground-up, edge-AI foundation models that enable Physical AI systems to perceive human presence, sense intent and adapt in real time. This capital accelerates the global rollout of a new standard in industrial robotics – moving the industry beyond “detect-and-stop” systems toward machines with true physical awareness.

The Economic Thesis: Physics, Not Pixels

The industry doesn’t need another sensor; it needs a nervous system. While generative AI has mastered language, Physical AI must master the world of people and objects. Algorized foundation models leverage existing infrastructure of wireless sensors such as Ultra-Wideband (UWB), mmWave, and Wi-Fi to digitize environments using physics, not pixels.

By analyzing micro-motions and vital signs directly at the edge, Algorized enables Physical AI to interpret human presence and intent with ultra-low latency. This allows robots to “see” through occlusion, dust, and darkness – navigating complex, shared human environments while eliminating unnecessary stops.

“The biggest bottleneck in Physical AI is the latency tax,” said Natalya Lopareva, CEO & Co-Founder of Algorized. “In a factory or a warehouse, a 100-millisecond delay can be the difference between a fluid workflow and a costly emergency stop. We’ve built an edge-native engine that gives machines the instinct to operate around people in real time. The goal is to ensure the line doesn’t stop because the intelligence is already there – on the floor, where it belongs.”

Scaling the ‘Aware Machine’

Following its breakthrough debut with KUKA and ASUS at CES 2026, Algorized is now deploying with major automotive and industrial leaders in Europe and the U.S. The Series A funding will focus on:

• Commercial Expansion: Scaling deliveries of the Predictive Safety Engine to meet signed demand across industries.
• Technical Sovereignty: Advancing proprietary intent-prediction models that serve as the foundation for human-robot collaboration.
• Global Operations: Expanding engineering and support hubs in Switzerland and Silicon Valley to serve Tier-1 manufacturing partners.

Investor Commentary

“Algorized is defining the category of Physical AI perception and predictive safety,” said PT Ungvichian, Partner at Run Ventures. “Most safety tech is an insurance policy; Algorized is a growth asset. By enabling robots to operate at full speed in shared spaces, they unlock billions in latent capacity. It’s rare to see a deep-tech solution with this level of immediate commercial ROI.”

About Algorized

Algorized builds the edge-native nervous system for Physical AI. Creators of the Predictive Safety Engine – ground-up edge-AI foundation models – Algorized transforms standard wireless sensors infrastructure into reliable human-aware perception. Backed by the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and rooted in Swiss research in through-wall human detection, Algorized is scaling globally through strategic partnerships with leading players across industrial robotics, automotive, and smart spaces – establishing a new standard for context-aware machines built for real-world operation.
