CHICAGO, 23 de septiembre de 2026 — May River Capital anunció hoy que Dickson, una empresa de su cartera, ha sido adquirida por Copeland, una compañía de la cartera de Blackstone. Copeland es un líder mundial en tecnologías de compresión y soluciones de control, y cuenta con más de 100 años de experiencia y aproximadamente 18.000 empleados en más de 40 países.

May River adquirió Dickson en abril de 2018. Desde entonces, May River y el equipo directivo de Dickson han transformado la empresa —que originalmente era un negocio familiar con una única sede— en una plataforma global de monitoreo ambiental que atiende a clientes en más de 50 países desde sus centros de operaciones en Addison (Illinois), Montpellier (Francia) y Kuala Lumpur (Malasia). El equipo fortaleció las capacidades comerciales de Dickson, invirtió en soluciones de monitoreo basadas en la nube y tecnología de sensores de última generación, y posicionó a la empresa para atender aplicaciones altamente reguladas en los sectores farmacéutico y de ciencias de la vida. La exitosa adquisición y exclusión de bolsa de Oceasoft —una empresa francesa de monitoreo ambiental que cotizaba en el mercado público— amplió aún más la cartera tecnológica y la presencia internacional de la compañía.

Rick Weiler, presidente y consejero delegado de Dickson, indicó: “Con el apoyo de May River, hemos invertido en nuestro equipo y ampliado nuestras capacidades tecnológicas y de producto, reforzando así la capacidad de Dickson para atender las necesidades críticas de monitorización ambiental de los clientes del sector de ciencias de la vida en todo el mundo. La incorporación a Copeland marca el inicio de una nueva y apasionante etapa para Dickson, y esperamos con interés las oportunidades que se presentan dentro de su plataforma global de mayor alcance”.

Steve Griesemer, socio de May River Capital, comentó: “Rick y el equipo de Dickson han sido unos socios excepcionales, y la fortaleza actual de la organización es testimonio de su liderazgo y dedicación. Gracias a nuestra colaboración con el equipo directivo, hemos transformado a Dickson en un líder mundial de su sector y la hemos posicionado para seguir creciendo. Creemos que Copeland es el socio ideal para la próxima etapa de Dickson y que ayudará a la empresa a ampliar sus capacidades para llegar a una base de clientes aún más extensa”.

Houlihan Lokey actuó como asesor financiero principal, y William Blair & Company L.L.C. como asesor financiero conjunto de May River y Dickson. Paul Hastings LLP actuó como asesor jurídico.

Built on the Nasdaq eVestment™ Market Lens, Capital Intelligence enriches the relationships IR teams have and surfaces the ones they don’t, without leaving Juniper Square’s CRM.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23, 2026 — Juniper Square, the operations partner to more than 2,300 private markets GPs, today launched Capital Intelligence, a new product within its Investor CRM that embeds Nasdaq eVestment Market Lens institutional intelligence directly into the CRM General Partners (GPs) already use.

Fundraising has never been more competitive. As Limited Partners (LPs) concentrate capital with fewer managers, the gap between firms with institutional-grade market intelligence and those without it keeps widening. Maintaining a current, detailed view of investors and their consultants is a challenge for every IR team — the largest GPs solve it with costly integration projects, while the rest are left with stale, incomplete data.

Capital Intelligence is designed to help address that information gap. Built on Nasdaq eVestment Market Lens, a source of institutional investment intelligence spanning 30,000+ institutional firms, 70,000+ mandates, and 100,000+ key professionals, it automatically refreshes investor and consultant records as the market moves, pairing structured relationship data with qualitative context like pacing plans, consultant sentiment, and allocation trends.

“Fundraising is won by the firms that understand their investors best and move first,” said Jay Farber, General Manager of GPX at Juniper Square. “Capital Intelligence puts that advantage in every GP’s hands by turning the CRM into an always-current view of the institutional market, so teams can target the right LPs, act the moment something changes, and compete for capital that used to be out of reach.”

Capital Intelligence delivers three new capabilities:

• Enrich: Starting with the contacts a firm already has, an AI matching engine proposes links to the Nasdaq dataset, allowing teams to confirm thousands of matches in a single session instead of tracking each one by hand. Every match is a suggestion until someone accepts it, so the system speeds up the work without taking the judgment call away from the team.
• Discover: Pipeline Builder, a new feature within the CRM, lets teams search more than 100,000 investor and consultant professionals across 30,000+ institutional firm profiles and 70,000+ mandate opportunities. Firm type, AUM, and geography filters allow teams to import the right ones in one click.
• Act: Capital Intelligence tracks contact changes across investor and consultant organizations and presents relevant updates for user review and acceptance. Teams can review relationship developments, validate them, and take action where appropriate.

“Capital Intelligence keeps our contacts updated automatically and shows us the investors beyond our network, all inside the CRM we already use every day,” said Jedd Horn, Director of Capital Markets at ABR Investment Partners.

“Capital formation works best when investors looking to place capital can find the managers whose strategies fit their needs. That comes down to the quality and timeliness of the intelligence behind the match. By bringing Nasdaq eVestment into Juniper Square’s CRM, we put that intelligence where fundraising actually happens — helping capital formation teams work more efficiently and connect the right capital with the right managers,” said Daniel Brickhouse, VP, Head of Nasdaq eVestment.

Capital Intelligence is available now for GPs raising institutional capital. Following the launch of Headless GPX in June and the general availability of Fay, Juniper Square’s first GPX Agent, in July, this latest release continues Juniper Square’s strategy of embedding AI natively into the platform rather than bolting it on from the outside. Firms that already license Nasdaq eVestment Market Lens can connect their existing subscription. To learn more or schedule a demo, visit junipersquare.com/capital-intelligence.

Novel synthetic biomaterial is designed to support volumetric tissue regeneration
while minimizing inflammatory foreign-body response

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 23, 2026 — Tempo Therapeutics, Inc. (“Tempo”), a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company pioneering synthetic biomaterials designed to promote the formation of healthy, functional tissue, today announced that it has received a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to support a randomized clinical study of its proprietary Microporous Annealed Particle (MAP™) Wound Matrix.

“This award brings Tempo closer to an important value-enhancing milestone: demonstrating that MAP can provide a fundamentally different approach to wound management by accelerating the formation of healthy tissue while minimizing the inflammatory foreign-body response,” said Steven Sands, Chairman of Tempo Therapeutics. “If successful, we believe this platform could address multiple wound indications where current treatment options remain inadequate, potentially improving outcomes for patients while reducing the clinical burden and cost of managing complex wounds.”

The award provides potential total funding of approximately $2.25 million over two years, subject to continued satisfactory progress and availability of funds. The project, MOSAIC II: A Randomized Clinical Study of the MAP Wound Matrix to Reduce Time to Graft-Readiness after Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Resection, will be led by Stephanie Deshayes, Ph.D., Vice President of Research & Development at Tempo and Principal Investigator of the grant.

“MAP is designed to accelerate the formation of healthy, vascularized tissue within complex wounds,” said Stephanie Deshayes, Ph.D., Vice President of Research & Development at Tempo Therapeutics and Principal Investigator of MOSAIC II. “This award allows us to evaluate that approach in more challenging wounds where the unmet clinical need remains significant.”

Unlike traditional approaches that can trigger a persistent foreign-body response, MAP was engineered to support the body’s regenerative processes while minimizing inflammatory signaling associated with implanted materials. The goal is to enable rapid, volumetric growth of healthy tissue within complex wounds and create a vascularized wound bed suitable for subsequent reconstruction or grafting.

“The ability to regenerate tissue throughout the volume of a complex wound—rather than simply promoting healing from the margins—could fundamentally change the way difficult wounds are treated,” said Westbrook Weaver, Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Tempo Therapeutics. “MAP was designed as a flowable, volumetric scaffold to support the rapid ingrowth of cells and tissue formation in a wound without provoking the persistent foreign-body response commonly associated with implanted materials. MOSAIC II gives us the opportunity to rigorously evaluate whether that biology can translate to improved tissue formation over bone in the definitive reconstruction of complex wounds.”

The newly funded study builds upon Tempo’s recently published first-in-human randomized, controlled, multicenter study in patients with full-thickness wounds following Mohs surgery for non-melanoma skin cancer. In that study, MAP-treated wounds achieved a favorable Wound Bed Score approximately 14 days earlier than controls, without delaying overall wound closure. At approximately six months, MAP-treated wounds also demonstrated significantly improved physician-assessed scar quality and reduced soft tissue volume loss compared with standard-of-care hydrocolloid treatment.

MOSAIC II is designed to extend these findings into a clinically important reconstructive setting by evaluating whether MAP can reduce the time required to develop a wound bed suitable for grafting following complex non-melanoma skin cancer resections with exposed bone. The NIH award specifically supports one or more clinical trials and identifies the MOSAIC II randomized clinical study as the funded project.

About Tempo Therapeutics

Tempo Therapeutics is a privately held, clinical-stage regenerative medicine company developing synthetic biomaterials designed to enable the body to regenerate healthy tissue. The Company is leveraging its patented MAP™ technology platform to develop products for surgical reconstruction and wound healing, with additional opportunities in aesthetic dermatology and other regenerative medicine applications.

Tempo’s lead product has completed first-in-human clinical evaluation and has been submitted to the FDA through the De Novo pathway.

Namit Malhotra, Founder & CEO of DNEG

“Brahma AI began with Prabhu’s bold idea: to bring together the technology stacks and capabilities developed across DNEG, Metaphysic and Prime Focus Technologies and create a new, independent technology company built for the AI era. What he and his team have built from those foundations in such a short period of time has been remarkable.

Under Prabhu’s leadership, Brahma AI has developed its own technology and products, won major global customers and partnerships, and established a clear identity and ambition of its own. There is also a special symmetry to this moment. Prabhu, United Al Saqer Group and Thor Björgólfsson backed and invested in Prime Focus Limited, DNEG and me at an important stage in our journey. Today, all of us are backing Brahma AI and Prabhu alongside new investors led by Multiples.”

Prabhu Narasimhan, Founder & CEO of Brahma AI

“What excites me most about this investment is what it allows us to build next. We are close to launching interactive digital humans, we are building Brahma AI to be model agnostic, and we are taking our technology into entirely new use cases. And security, authenticity and provenance are such an important part of what we are building.

What resonated with us about Multiples is our shared belief that category-defining companies are built through a combination of bold ambition, disciplined execution and long-term thinking. I could not be more excited to have Multiples alongside us as we scale globally and continue pushing the boundaries of enterprise AI.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22, 2026 — Snorkel AI, the frontier AI data lab, today announced it raised $350 million at a valuation of $3.5B in a round co-led by Insight Partners and S32, with significant participation from existing investor Addition. The round included new investors March Capital, Blumberg Capital, Allegis Capital, Frontline, Standard, and Third Point Ventures, along with existing investors Greylock, Lightspeed, GV, Factory, Prosperity7, Walden Catalyst, and Wells Fargo. The investment will expand Snorkel’s agentic data factory, which supplies the data and environments behind the world’s most advanced AI lab systems.

The raise comes amid a fundamental phase shift in AI data. Building AI in the Data 1.0 era meant simple labeling tasks, a volume problem solved with headcount. Today’s frontier and agentic systems demand Data 2.0: expert agentic tasks, environments, and rubrics that take even the most qualified humans hours or days to construct. Designing them well is research work, where quality and complexity determine value.

Meeting that bar requires a wholly new paradigm for data development, which is partly why Snorkel has grown rapidly since launching its expert Data-as-a-Service offering in September 2025. The company works with leading AI labs and enterprises on the data behind frontier model evaluation and training. The work is a natural outgrowth of Snorkel’s roots: the company grew out of the Stanford AI Lab nearly a decade ago with a founding team that pioneered the field of data-centric AI and continues to contribute science on data at the jagged frontier of AI development. That body of work spans 250+ peer-reviewed papers cited more than 25,000 times.

“The teams pushing the frontier want a research data partner who pioneers the science of data development,” said Alex Ratner, co-founder and CEO of Snorkel AI. “That’s what Snorkel was built to be: the frontier lab for agentic data, combining human excellence with over a decade of research and technology.”

“Snorkel’s research-grade approach to AI data, environments, and measurement is becoming an increasingly important ingredient in building capable and reliable AI systems – and their demonstrated growth at scale reflects that,” said Lonne Jaffe, Managing Director at Insight Partners. “We’re excited to back Alex and the team as they continue to bring their frontier AI data factory capabilities to longer-running, complex work in high value industries like healthcare, law, and software engineering.”

“Snorkel’s expert-agentic environments create a unique flywheel between human expertise and AI, delivering data at the speed and quality that enables a new era of efficiency and accuracy for model development,” said Andy Harrison, CEO and General Partner of S32. “Working with Snorkel ensures the highest frontier model success rate and creates a true partnership between model developer and data provider.”

Snorkel plans to use the funding to grow the capacity of its agentic data factory to meet demand, accelerate investment in vertical and enterprise AI, and extend its core research and technology into new domains and modalities. The company will also deepen its investment in open research, building on programs like its Open Benchmarks Grants initiative.

About Snorkel AI

Snorkel AI is the frontier AI data lab, helping teams build the data and environments behind high-performing frontier and agentic AI. We combine technology with research-driven AI data development to create datasets, benchmarks, evals, and custom solutions for real-world AI systems. Founded out of the Stanford AI Lab in 2019, Snorkel works with leading AI labs and enterprises to move from better data to better outcomes.

About Insight Partners

Insight Partners is a global software investor partnering with high-growth technology, software, and Internet startup and ScaleUp companies that are driving transformative change in their industries. As of December 31, 2025, the firm has over $90B in regulatory assets under management.

Ande brings corporate entertainment into a single platform and gives venues a direct channel to enterprise bookings.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 — Ande, the AI-native network for corporate entertainment, emerges from stealth with more than $52 million in seed and Series A funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Duration Ventures, and Sierra Ventures, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures.

Enterprises spend an estimated $325 billion a year on entertainment from client dinners and team outings to catering, sporting events, and gifting. Yet the booking and expense management behind it is fragmented across credit cards, AP systems, and consumer apps creating an extremely manual reconciliation process for finance teams.

Ande brings structure to one of the last unmanaged categories of enterprise spend by giving teams a single platform to book entertainment effortlessly, while finance and legal teams keep full visibility and control over every dollar spent.

Ande’s agentic workflows surface venue availability, book experiences, route approvals, execute contracts, and reconcile expenses automatically. Executive assistants, office managers, field marketers, GTM teams, and their managers all work together in a single, multiplayer workspace in order to book team offsites and deal-closing dinners, while the agents move each request through approval, signing, and payment.

More than 60 enterprises already run their entertainment on Ande, reporting savings of 12 to 15 percent. Customers like Cloudflare, Salesforce, McGraw Hill, Netskope, Navan, Sigma Computing, Monday.com, Workato, Semgrep, Checkout, Rillet, and many more contribute to over $400 million in entertainment spend flowing through the platform annually.

“Entertainment is one of the most important things a company does. It builds culture, closes deals and deepens the relationships that matter most. Yet the infrastructure to manage it is broken on both sides of every transaction,” said Lohit Sarma, CEO and co-founder of Ande.

“Ande is the first enterprise channel between corporate buyers and the world’s best entertainment vendors. Part of the reason this is such a hard problem to solve is that venues and entertainment providers don’t have a centralized distribution system to plug into. We had to build it. We’ve spent two and half years working with venues to digitize their data, and train models and agents for these workflows that are unique to enterprises,” continued Sarma.

For venues on the other side of the transaction, Ande is the corporate sales and marketing channel that never existed. Venues have historically had no pipeline into the corporate market. Ande gives them a platform to market to, engage with, and transact with corporate buyers at scale. Among the current partners are 1,600 hospitality venues including some of the largest and most decorated hospitality groups like Altamarea Group, Che Fico, Gracious Hospitality, JKS, The Mina Group, MML, Nobu, Riviera Dining Group, Tao Group Hospitality, Unapologetic Foods, Bacchus Management Group, Wish You Were Here, and Wolfgang Puck. Over 93,000 entertainment venues are on Ande’s network today.

“Our programs are high stakes and high visibility, with our executive leadership team and key customers at the core of each event we host,” said Vicky Chung, Director of Corporate Events at Netskope. “My team and I trust Ande’s platform, and especially the team behind it. I have real-time visibility into what’s happening across every event, and when I need something done right, I know it will be. My team is now focused on reaching the executives that matter and scaling the program vs. worrying about the logistics.”

“Entertainment is every enterprise’s biggest expense line that is not yet well managed. For that reason, there are financial inefficiencies and a poor experience,” notes Arif Janmohamed, Venture Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and Co-Founder of Duration Ventures. “Ande is the connective tissue, the perfect handshake between corporations and venues. Lohit is an exceptional founder, and the size of the market opportunity is largely unbounded.”

Redpoint Ventures Managing Director Alex Bard notes, “Particularly when we invest in an early-stage company, our confidence has everything to do with the founder and their ambition. Lohit has both startup DNA and the enterprise experience to solve this problem. His vision for Ande is bold and ambitious.”
