Raindrop Raises $15 Million to Detect Critical AI Agent Failures

“Like Sentry, but for AI Agents” – Funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners will enable Raindrop to meet enterprise demand and become the default monitoring solution for AI agents.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1, 2025 — Raindrop, the monitoring platform for AI agents, announced $15M in seed funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners. The funding will enable Raindrop to meet enterprise demand, and continue defining the frontier of production monitoring and issue detection for AI agents.

The round includes participation from leading AI companies including Figma Ventures, Vercel Ventures, founders of Replit (Amjad Masad and Michele Castata), Cognition (Walden Yan), Framer (Koen Bok and Joen van Dijk), Speak (Andrew Hsu), Notion (Akshay Kothari), and YC.

“AI agents are more capable than ever. They’re reasoning longer, using more tools, and connecting to MCP servers. Some agents now run autonomously for hours,” said Raindrop CEO Zubin Koticha. “Traditional testing methods, like evals, aren’t capable of handling the complexity of these long trajectories. This leaves engineering teams in the dark – unable to discover or track issues. Raindrop is the first monitoring platform to solve this problem.”

AI agents are increasingly entrusted with high-stakes tasks and deployed across critical sectors like healthcare and financial services; failures mean business-critical or even life-threatening issues. Recent headlines have been flooded by issues like ChatGPT encouraging users to stop taking medication or Air Canada being sued because their chatbot promised refunds they couldn’t honor.

Legacy monitoring tools for AI agents simply provided latency or token usage metrics. At best, they offered unreliable or generic metrics like toxicity or user sentiment. These metrics were not effective at revealing errors in AI agents.

Raindrop established the new standard for monitoring AI agent behavior: small, custom models that adapt to the unique shape of each AI product. This enables engineers to monitor signals that were previously invisible. For example, in addition to Raindrop’s default signals like “User Frustration,” customers can define custom signals like “UI Aesthetic Complaints” or “Agent Stuck in a Loop” and see incident rates over millions of events. Raindrop then triggers Sentry-style notifications when problems emerge.

To discover hidden issues, Raindrop’s AI agents work in the background to triage and investigate potential issue patterns. When a new issue is detected, like the agent encouraging toxic user behavior, Raindrop collects information on the issue and generates step-by-step explanations of what happened.

“We keep seeing AI engineering teams struggling with agent failures in production, and traditional evals are not really helping,” said Bucky Moore, Partner at Lightspeed. “We invested in Raindrop because they defined monitoring for AI agents. They made an early bet that monitoring would be the most critical part of building reliable agents, and they’ve been right. They’re growing fast as Raindrop is being embraced by some of the most forward-thinking engineering teams in AI. Lightspeed is thrilled to partner with Alexis, Ben, Zubin, and team to help them scale Raindrop into the default agent observability platform for enterprises and startups alike.”

Today Raindrop works with frontier AI customers processing millions of events each day to help quickly discover, monitor and resolve critical issues. Many of these teams use Raindrop Experiments, the first A/B testing platform for agents, to validate and iterate on solutions (tool, model or broader pipeline changes) and see if their fixes actually worked.

“Raindrop has been invaluable as we’ve been growing quickly,” said Evan Goldschmidt, CTO Tolan. “It’s critical for us to keep issue incidence below an acceptable threshold and become aware of any spikes. It’s like if we see an iOS crash report in Sentry, but for our AI capabilities.”

“Our founding team was building a coding agent ourselves and kept running into silent agent failures in production. When we did YC we saw everybody building agents in our batch had the same problem,” said Zubin Koticha, Raindrop’s CEO.

Raindrop was founded by Ben Hylak, Zubin Koticha and Alexis Gauba. Alexis and Zubin are second-time founders (previous company acquired by Coinbase); Ben was an engineer at Apple, before joining Apple’s elite Human Interface (HI) Design team where he worked for four years.

  • Advance its lead program, ReLiver®, toward clinical proof-of-concept;
  • Expand its manufacturing capacity and team of world-leading experts;
  • Deepen its global collaborations and lay the foundation for future financing rounds.

Building on its strong presence in Québec and North America, Morphocell will now establish its first European subsidiary in Italy, a move that reflects the company’s Italian-founded roots and its commitment to contributing to Italy’s dynamic biotechnology sector. This expansion will serve as a strategic entry point into Europe, enabling Morphocell to build partnerships, access world-class talent and research infrastructure, and reinforce its position as a global leader in regenerative medicine.

“Morphocell’s goal has always been clear, to create revolutionary cell-based organ replacement therapies that cure patients,” added Dr. Paganelli. “This additional funding reinforces our shared conviction, with our investors, our partners, and our team, that we are building the future of regenerative medicine right here in Québec.”

“Our government is proud to support Morphocell Technologies in its growth. We want to help stimulate innovation in Quebec, which will play a decisive role in the evolution of modern medicine, particularly in regenerative medicine.

Protego Biopharma Raises $130 Million Oversubscribed Series B Financing to Advance First-in-Class AL Amyloidosis Program into Pivotal Study

  • Financing led by Novartis Venture Fund and Forbion, with new investment from Omega Funds, Droia Ventures, YK Bioventures, and Digitalis Ventures
  • Renewed backing from Vida Ventures, MPM BioImpact, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Scripps Research

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 1, 2025 — Protego Biopharma, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to pioneering first-in-class small molecule therapeutics that reprogram protein folding to address systemic amyloid diseases and other protein misfolding disorders, today announced the completion of an oversubscribed $130 million Series B financing.

The round was led by Novartis Venture Fund and Forbion, with participation from new investors including Omega Funds, Droia Ventures, YK Bioventures, and Digitalis Ventures. Existing investors, including Vida Ventures, MPM BioImpact, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Scripps Research, also participated, underscoring their continued conviction in the Protego approach. The round also reflects the active engagement of Ed Hurwitz, Executive Chairman, alongside Chris Weyrer, M.D., Ph.D., Principal at Vida Ventures and Acting Chief Business Officer of Protego, as the company advances its lead program.

Proceeds will advance Protego’s lead candidate, PROT-001, into a pivotal clinical trial for AL amyloidosis, a rare and often fatal condition caused by protein misfolding that leads to organ damage, especially in the heart.

“We are deeply grateful for the steadfast support of our existing investors, who have believed in us through every stage, and we are pleased to welcome leading global investors to join us on this journey. Their confidence underscores the promise of our science and the urgency of our mission,” said Brent Warner, Chief Executive Officer of Protego Biopharma. “With the capital raised, we are positioned to advance PROT-001 into pivotal trials, moving closer to delivering the first disease-modifying therapy for AL amyloidosis and offering new hope to patients who currently face devastating outcomes.”

Protego’s therapeutic strategy is rooted in human genetics and a unique pharmacological chaperone mechanism. These small molecules act as cellular “guides,” ensuring proteins fold correctly. By stabilizing immunoglobulin light chains and preventing amyloid buildup, PROT-001 addresses disease at its root cause rather than simply managing symptoms. This approach represents a potential paradigm shift not only for AL amyloidosis, but also for a wide spectrum of protein misfolding disorders with profound unmet needs.

“Protego is advancing a highly differentiated approach with the potential to transform treatment for patients with AL amyloidosis,” said Tim Lohoff, PhD, Principal at Forbion. “By targeting the root cause of this severe disease, PROT-001 has the potential to deliver the first truly disease-modifying therapy in this indication. At Forbion, we invest in bold teams turning breakthrough science into tangible medical and commercial impact, and Protego exemplifies that vision.”

About Protego Biopharma
Protego Biopharma is a San Diego-based biotech company focused on developing small-molecule drugs that target protein misfolding pathways. By reprogramming cellular processes to restore proper protein function, Protego aims to treat rare and systemic diseases with precision and improved patient outcomes.

Singapore’s RockFlow Raises Tens of Millions to Accelerate AI Agent Capabilities and Global Expansion

SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2025 — RockFlow, a Singapore-based AI-native fintech company backed by Lanchi Ventures, recently announced it has raised tens of millions of U.S. dollars in a new financing round. The round was led by a top-tier global digital financial services platform, with continued participation from Lanchi Ventures, Monolith Management, Forwest Capital, and Evergreen.

The fresh capital will be used to advance RockFlow’s proprietary financial AI, “Bobby,” and to accelerate the company’s global business expansion.

The financing follows the success of the RockAlpha AI Stock Trading Arena, a live-stock market stress test that benchmarked LLMs against real-world volatility. The initiative validated that RockFlow’s AI agent, Bobby, can autonomously execute complex trading strategies, marking a pivotal shift from passive AI assistance to active, agentic decision-making.

Underpinning this growth is a strong regulatory foundation. RockFlow’s parent group recently secured Type 1 (Dealing in Securities), Type 4 (Advising on Securities), and Type 9 (Asset Management) licenses from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).This milestone cements the platform’s ability to conduct regulated financial business in the international financial hub. Building on this regulatory milestone, RockFlow is poised to scale its business operations worldwide.

The company plans to extend its service offerings into new verticals, including brokerage, trusts, stablecoins, and digital banking. This supports RockFlow’s goal to build a comprehensive “All-in-One” platform that integrates traditional equities with emerging asset classes such as crypto, Real World Assets (RWA), and private equity.

“AI Agents are fundamentally reshaping the entry point and user experience for financial services,” said Vakee, Founder & CEO of RockFlow. “Our mission is to make investing simple, smart and fun. We are building an interface where complex, professional financial services become accessible and personalized through AI, all while adhering to strict global compliance standards.”

Lanchi Ventures commented: “We invest in AI that brings professional depth to mass markets. RockFlow’s ‘All-in-One’ platform and Bobby AI perfectly embody this vision. We remain bullish on their expertise at the intersection of finance and AI Agents as they scale globally.”

Anyformat schließt eine von Kibo Ventures angeführte Seed-Runde in Höhe von 3,3 Millionen Euro ab, mit dem Ziel, das Dokumentenmanagement für globale Unternehmen zu transformieren

MADRID, 27. November 2025Anyformat, eine generative KI-Plattform, die sich auf die Extraktion und Strukturierung komplexer Daten aus jeglichen Dokumenten spezialisiert hat, hat in einer von Kibo Ventures angeführten Seed-Runde 3,3 Millionen Euro eingeworben, an der sich auch 4Founders, Abac Nest Ventures und Decelera Ventures beteiligt haben. Alle drei Fonds haben auch in die vorherige Finanzierungsrunde des Unternehmens investiert.

Das Unternehmen entwickelt die nächste Generation der Dokumenteninfrastruktur, basierend auf generativer KI. Die Technologie ermöglicht es großen Unternehmen, Verträge, Rechnungen, E-Mails oder Präsentationen mit menschlicher Genauigkeit und maschineller Geschwindigkeit zu verarbeiten und dabei die vollständige Kontrolle über sensible Daten zu behalten. Anyformat hat bereits Projekte für die Regierung von Singapur, die L’Oréal Group und die IAG Group entwickelt und damit seine Fähigkeit unter Beweis gestellt, in komplexen Umgebungen mit hohen Anforderungen zu agieren.

Seit der Beschaffung von 520.000 Euro im Juni 2025 hat Anyformat seine Fähigkeiten über die herkömmliche Dokumentenextraktion hinaus erheblich erweitert. Das Unternehmen ist nun der einzige Anbieter, der aus einem Dokument extrahierte Informationen in Echtzeit mit den firmeneigenen Daten eines Unternehmens kombinieren kann. Dies ermöglicht die automatisierte Analyse unstrukturierter Dokumente bei gleichzeitigem Abgleich der Daten mit internen Aufzeichnungen wie Kundendatenbanken, Richtlinien, Produktkatalogen oder historischen Informationen.

Für Unternehmen, die mit komplexer Dokumentation und fragmentierten Systemen arbeiten, eliminiert diese Funktion manuelle Validierungsschritte, reduziert Fehler und beschleunigt wichtige Geschäftsprozesse. Laut dem Innovation Catalyst-Bericht von Dell Technologies sind 68 % der spanischen Unternehmen nicht in der Lage, ihre Daten in wertvolle Echtzeit-Erkenntnisse umzuwandeln – eine Lücke, die Anyformat schließen möchte.

„Der Markt für Dokumentenintelligenz tritt in eine neue Phase ein, die von generativer KI und agentenbasierten Systemen vorangetrieben wird. Anyformat hat eine einzigartige Technologie entwickelt, die es Unternehmen ermöglicht, kritische Prozesse zu automatisieren und gleichzeitig die Datenhoheit zu wahren, eine wesentliche Anforderung in Europa. Die Vision und das Talent der Gründer in Verbindung mit dem enormen Potenzial der KI in einem großen und wachsenden Markt waren ausschlaggebende Faktoren für unsere Investitionsentscheidung”, erklärt Javier Torremocha, Mitbegründer und geschäftsführender Partner bei Kibo Ventures.

Das Unternehmen arbeitet kontinuierlich an der Weiterentwicklung seiner Technologie, um jegliche Dateien in strukturierte Daten für Analysen, Business Intelligence und operative Arbeitsabläufe umzuwandeln, wobei stets strenge Datenschutz- und Sicherheitsstandards eingehalten werden.

Das Wachstum schreitet voran: Für das Jahr 2026 wird ein wiederkehrender Jahresumsatz von über 1 Million Euro prognostiziert

Anyformat prognostiziert für 2026 einen jährlichen wiederkehrenden Umsatz von über 1 Million Euro, angetrieben durch die Expansion in Europa und die steigende Nachfrage nach Automatisierung, Compliance-Tools und fortschrittlicher Dokumentenverarbeitung.

„Dokumente bilden das Rückgrat jeder Organisation. Unser Ziel ist es, Unternehmen dabei zu unterstützen, diese mit menschlicher Intelligenz, maschineller Geschwindigkeit und dem von modernen Vorschriften geforderten Sicherheitsniveau zu analysieren”, erklärt Juan Huguet, Geschäftsführer und Mitbegründer. Technischer Leiter und Mitbegründer Diego Pérez ergänzt: „Wir entwickeln Technologien, die weit über die einfache Digitalisierung von Dokumenten hinausgehen.”

Die neue Finanzierungsrunde wird die Produktentwicklung beschleunigen und die Ingenieurs- und Produktteams erweitern, wodurch die fortschrittlichen Extraktionsfähigkeiten und proprietären Fehlererkennungsmodelle gestärkt werden. Das Unternehmen wird außerdem ein spezielles Vertriebsteam aufbauen, das sich auf Spanien und die Europäische Union konzentriert.

Anyformat wird weiterhin in seine datenschutzorientierte Infrastruktur investieren und auf Zertifizierungen wie ISO 27001 hinarbeiten, die für die Betreuung großer Unternehmen und öffentlicher Einrichtungen unerlässlich sind.

Anyformat clôt un tour de financement d’amorçage de 3,3 millions d’euros mené par Kibo Ventures, dans le but de transformer la gestion de documents pour les entreprises internationales

MADRID, 27 novembre 2025Anyformat, une plateforme d’IA générative spécialisée dans l’extraction et la structuration de données complexes à partir de n’importe quel document, a levé 3,3 millions d’euros de fonds d’amorçage dans le cadre d’un tour de table dirigé par Kibo Ventures, avec la participation de 4Founders, Abac Nest Ventures et Decelera Ventures. Ces trois fonds ont également investi dans le précédent tour de financement de la société.

La société Anyformat construit la prochaine génération d’infrastructure documentaire alimentée par l’IA générative. Sa technologie permet aux grandes entreprises de traiter des contrats, des factures, des courriers électroniques ou des présentations avec une précision de niveau humain mais à la vitesse d’une machine, tout en conservant un contrôle total sur les données sensibles. Anyformat a déjà mis sur pied des projets pour le gouvernement de Singapour, le groupe L’Oréal et le groupe IAG, qui démontrent son aptitude à opérer dans des environnements complexes et très exigeants.

Depuis sa levée de fonds de 520 000 euros en juin 2025, Anyformat a considérablement élargi ses capacités au-delà de l’extraction traditionnelle de documents. C’est aujourd’hui le seul fournisseur qui soit en mesure de combiner en temps réel les informations extraites d’un document avec les données exclusives d’une entreprise. Cela favorise l’analyse automatisée des documents non structurés, ainsi que le recoupement des données avec des dossiers internes tels que les bases de données de clients, les politiques, les catalogues de produits ou les informations sur l’historique.

Pour les entreprises qui ont à gérer une documentation complexe et des systèmes fragmentés, cette capacité supprime les étapes de validation manuelle, réduit les erreurs et accélère les processus opérationnels décisifs. Selon le rapport de Dell Technologies sur les catalyseurs de l’innovation, 68 % des entreprises espagnoles sont incapables de transformer leurs données en informations profitables en temps réel : c’est cette lacune qu’Anyformat entend combler.

« Le marché de l’intelligence documentaire entre dans une nouvelle phase, portée par l’IA générative et les systèmes agentiques. Anyformat a mis au point une technologie unique qui aide les entreprises à automatiser les processus cruciaux tout en préservant la souveraineté des données, une exigence primordiale en Europe. La vision et le talent des fondateurs, associés au vaste potentiel de l’IA sur un marché important et en pleine croissance, ont été des facteurs clés dans notre décision d’investir », déclare Javier Torremocha, cofondateur et associé directeur de Kibo Ventures.

L’entreprise continue d’affiner sa technologie pour convertir n’importe quel fichier en données structurées au bénéfice de l’analyse, de la veille économique et des flux de travail opérationnels, toujours dans le respect de normes strictes en matière de confidentialité et de sécurité.

Sur la voie de la croissance : plus d’un million d’euros de revenu récurrent annuel prévu en 2026

Anyformat prévoit de dépasser le million d’euros de revenu récurrent annuel en 2026, grâce à son expansion européenne et à la demande croissante relative à l’automatisation, aux outils de conformité et au traitement avancé des documents.
