LONDON and BUDAPEST, Hungary, Feb. 24, 2026 — Turbine, a leading virtual biology company, today announced a $25 million Series B financing, an expansion of its virtual cell platform across industries and a new immunology-focused partnership with a top 10 pharma company.

The Series B round is led by Interactive Venture Partners, with participation from Beiersdorf AG and existing investors, including MSD Global Health Innovation, Accel and Mercia.

“Central and Eastern Europe has produced exceptional innovation, and Turbine stands out as one of the region’s most compelling virtual biology platforms. Our team assessed the opportunity from both a technology and life sciences perspective, and we believe the ambitious team’s unique capability to virtualize biological experiments with AI positions them to be among the global leaders embedding such technology into biopharma R&D,” said Laszlo Czirjak, Managing Partner at Interactive VP, a fund backed by the family office of Thomas Peterffy, Founder and Chairman of Interactive Brokers Group, Inc.

With the new funding, Turbine will expand its platform to virtualize new assays across discovery and translational medicine. Turbine’s lab-in-the-loop will generate additional proprietary perturbation datasets, allowing the company to fine-tune its foundational virtual cell model to novel assay and tissue types. These virtual assays are deployed through the company’s Virtual Lab, a no-code platform that integrates with pharma workflows and systems.

“At Beiersdorf Venture Capital we see clear potential in AI-driven technologies such as virtual cell models that help researchers assess how active ingredients interact with skin biology, skin conditions, and safety. Our investment in Turbine reflects our interest in deep‑tech approaches that could shape the future of skin research.” – Ascan Voswinckel (Head of Beiersdorf Venture Capital)

With the new momentum from the investment round, Turbine is expanding its oncology-focused offering in biopharma to include immunology through a newly announced collaboration with a top 10 pharma company. Per the agreement, Turbine’s virtual assays will be trained to model immune cell behavior using proprietary datasets provided by the partner. The companies aim to provide deep mechanistic insights into immune pathways to inform the identification and prioritization of novel therapeutic combinations. The collaboration will enable scientists to run virtual experiments at a massive scale and interpret in silico results in the Virtual Lab so that only high conviction hypotheses proceed to wet lab validation. 

“Combination therapies have been proven to offer patient benefit. However, given the complexity of immunological diseases and the sheer number of potential combinations, virtualization is the only way scientists can rationally explore and identify the right drug combinations, as well as which patient cohorts may benefit from them.” said Szabolcs Nagy, Co-Founder & CEO at Turbine. “We are excited to expand into immunology, as a new therapeutic area, to build an active learning loop where simulations inform the right wet lab experiments, which in turn generate data that improves the next round of predictions to ultimately identify a number of potentially successful immunology drug combinations.”

About Turbine
Turbine is virtualizing biological experiments with AI to accelerate drug discovery and improve clinical translatability. Using its foundational virtual cell model powered by its lab-in-the-loop, Turbine creates virtual copies of experimental assays. Running experiments at computational speed and scale allows researchers to test millions of ideas, beyond physical lab constraints, to understand biological drivers of disease. Working with scientists at leading biopharma like MSD (Merck & Co.), AstraZeneca and Bayer, Turbine’s virtual assays have rationalized experiments across more than 30 discovery programs. Backed by leading tech and industry investors like Accel, MSD Global Health Innovation Fund, Interactive Venture Partners and Beiersdorf, Turbine is turning biology into an engineering discipline.

Funding will support expanded real-time risk assessment and visibility across complex enterprise environments

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 24, 2026 — Circadian Risk, a pioneer in enterprise risk analysis SaaS and scenario-based assessment products, has closed a $6 million Series A funding round led by Arthur Ventures, with participation by Roll Tack Ventures and existing investors 11 Tribes and Tamiami Angel Funds. The Series A round was meaningfully oversubscribed, and strong investor demand allowed Circadian Risk to assemble a focused group of partners aligned with its growth strategy.

“We work closely with some of the world’s most sophisticated organizations—early adopters who understand the complexity of modern risk and the challenge of effective management,” said Michael Martin, CEO of Circadian Risk. “This investment affirms that we’re on the right path and gives us the resources to expand our reach, refine our platform, and bring our approach to a broader market.”

A Minneapolis-based early growth equity firm specializing in B2B software companies, Arthur Ventures has invested in more than 70 software companies across North America, including several in the security and risk management space.

“We are excited to partner with Circadian Risk, a company that has earned the confidence of its customers by providing a holistic platform that strengthens physical security and limits risk,” said Jake Olson, Principal at Arthur Ventures. “We believe their solution addresses the unique challenges faced by security teams today and are thrilled to provide growth capital to support their continued success.”

The Circadian Risk platform helps organizations identify and manage physical security risks, compliance gaps, and threat exposure. With this funding, the company will accelerate its next phase of growth, refining its go-to-market strategy and expanding its development team to integrate generative AI into the real-time, scored platform. Circadian Risk will also scale its client success team, deepening industry-specific expertise to support broader enterprise adoption across vertical markets.

Early and continuing investor 11 Tribes has supported Circadian Risk since its initial institutional funding and elected to participate again in the Series A round, citing continued conviction in the company’s leadership, execution, and market opportunity.

“From our earliest conversations, what stood out was the strength of the team and their understanding of the market,” said Mark Phillips, Founder & Managing Partner at 11 Tribes. “Circadian Risk wasn’t just building an interesting product. They had already demonstrated the ability to win customers and execute. That founder-market fit, combined with real traction, gave us confidence early on, and the company’s continued progress has reinforced that conviction.”

Investing in B2B technologies that strengthen the mid-market corporate tech stack and enable scalable growth and resilience across the Midwest’s core industries, Roll Tack is a new investor in Circadian Risk.

“Circadian Risk addresses a critical need that many organizations have historically managed through manual, fragmented processes,” said Sarah Lerner-Mantel, Partner at Roll Tack Ventures. “Customers adopt the platform because it brings real-time visibility across distributed locations, allowing teams to anticipate issues and respond quickly. As adoption grows, the platform benefits from increasing returns to scale, and leaders gain better insight into risk and more confidence in their decisions.”

Before the Series A round, Miami-based Tamiami Angel Funds supported Circadian Risk across two successive funds, both backed by strong member co-investment alongside fund capital—an internal signal of broad confidence in the company’s leadership, execution, and platform.

“Each time Circadian Risk came back and asked us to invest, they had earned it,” said Timothy Cartwright, Founder and Chairman of Tamiami Angel Funds. “They continue to hit milestone after milestone, which made it an easy decision. Their meaningful progress, strong execution, and a willingness to listen give investors increased confidence to support the company over time.”

Led by Battery Ventures, the round comes just four months after the company’s previous raise, as enterprise revenue teams turn to AI to improve deal outcomes

CHICAGO, Feb. 24, 2026 — Letter AI, the AI-native revenue enablement platform for the world’s leading go-to-market teams, today announced it has raised a $40 million Series B funding round led by Battery Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, Lightbank, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Stage 2 Capital, and existing investors. The new funding will be used to scale product development, expand the team globally, and accelerate go-to-market efforts as enterprises move away from fragmented, low-adoption enablement tools toward AI-native platforms built for modern revenue teams.

Letter AI helps companies like Lenovo move beyond traditional revenue enablement towards deal enablement – bringing intelligence directly into live opportunities where it can have the greatest impact on sales outcomes. “Letter AI has changed how enablement shows up in our sales process,” said Abdul Hakim, Executive Director, Digital Workplace Solutions, Lenovo. “Rather than relying on static training that arrives too late, our teams now get real-time, deal-specific guidance that adapts to individual seller strengths and the realities of each opportunity. That level of personalized, in-the-moment intelligence has allowed us to respond much more quickly to evolving service offerings and accelerate sales cycles in ways we simply couldn’t before.”

Letter AI is Rebuilding Revenue Enablement for the AI Era

Revenue enablement has become one of the most fragmented layers in the enterprise stack, with companies relying on disconnected tools that lead to low adoption, slow onboarding, and sellers spending less than 30% of their time with customers (source: Salesforce State of Sales, 2024). Unlike legacy platforms that retrofit AI onto static architectures, Letter AI was built from day one as a unified platform with intelligence at its core – connecting content, learning, coaching, and buyer engagement into a single system that adapts in real time to each seller and each deal.

Real-Time Deal Intelligence for Go-to-Market Teams

Alongside the funding, Letter AI is launching Letter Compass, a new product that delivers real-time, deal-specific guidance for active opportunities. By combining enablement content and learning with live CRM data and customer interactions, Letter Compass brings highly contextual intelligence directly into the flow of sales execution.

“Revenue enablement is a perfect problem for an AI-native platform because it sits at the intersection of content, people, and live decision-making,” said Ali Akhtar, co-founder and CEO of Letter AI. “Legacy tools were built for static libraries and periodic training. We built Letter AI for modern sales teams who need guidance that is personalized, contextual, and available in the moment a deal is happening.”

“AI has made individual enablement features easy to replicate, exposing the limits of point solutions,” said Armen Forget, co-founder and CTO of Letter AI. “What enterprises need is a holistic system that understands deal context and supports sellers throughout the lifecycle of a deal.”

Battery Ventures led the round based on strong customer adoption and growing enterprise demand for system-level AI platforms in revenue operations. “Revenue enablement is undergoing a fundamental reset,” said Brandon Gleklen, Principal at Battery Ventures, who has joined the board of Letter AI. “Letter AI stands out because it wasn’t designed as a content repository or an AI add-on – it was built from the ground up as an AI-native platform that delivers real, measurable impact at the deal level. That’s what modern revenue teams are looking for.”

“Sales methodology has historically lived in static playbooks that reps skim once and forget. Letter AI changes that – it’s a living intelligence layer that’s tuned to every call prep, embedded in every live interaction, and actively shaping next steps for each deal,” said Mark Roberge, co-founder at Stage 2 Capital and founding CRO of HubSpot. “What makes this truly transformative is the personalization – the guidance is customized to each buyer’s unique context, and the coaching adapts to where each seller is in their own development journey. Letter AI meets sellers where they are – always on, always relevant, and always adapting to the changing buyer landscape.”

Note to editors:

Letter AI was recently recognized by G2 as the Highest Momentum Leader in Sales Enablement and earned 21 badges in the G2 Winter Reports, reflecting strong customer adoption, satisfaction, and growth across enterprise and mid-market segments.

About Letter AI

Letter AI is an AI-native revenue enablement platform that turns a company’s existing knowledge into real-time, deal-specific guidance for go-to-market teams. Rather than organizing static content and training, Letter AI dynamically generates personalized enablement and coaching based on live deal context, so sellers get what they need in the moment a deal is happening. Built from the ground up as a platform, Letter AI connects content, coaching, learning, and buyer engagement into a single intelligent system, driving higher adoption, faster onboarding, and more time spent with customers.

Letter AI is trusted by global enterprises, including Lenovo, Adobe, Novo Nordisk, Plaid, Zip, RingCentral, Kong, and SolarWinds, and supports revenue teams across more than 30 countries. Headquartered in Chicago, the company was co-founded by seasoned AI, product, and engineering leaders, Ali Akhtar and Armen Forget, and is backed by Battery Ventures, Y Combinator, Lightbank, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Stage 2 Capital, and other leading investors.

LONDON, Feb. 24, 2026 — Talentis – the Executive Search Software with a 4.9* rating on G2, is pleased to announce growth of 67% in exit ARR in H2 of 2025. This dramatic increase in revenue and subscriber numbers likely positions the platform as the fastest growing executive search CRM on the market.

Alongside the announcement of Talentis’ significant sales acceleration, ultimate parent Dillistone Group Plc announced an equity fundraise worth more than US$2Million. Backed by investors from both the US and the UK, a specific objective of the investment is to “provide adequate resources to take full advantage of the immediate and global opportunity afforded by Talentis”.

Strong Growth in Executive Search Software

Talentis has delivered impressive growth as executive search firms increasingly reassess their technology infrastructure. The platform is now used by executive search firms and in-house recruiting teams across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Independent user reviews on sites like G2 refer to how the platform has “dramatically increased productivity” for users, with clients reporting that the “new software is simply outstanding.”

A changing recruitment landscape

Talentis has benefited from a changing recruitment landscape. Unlike legacy executive search software that requires extensive data input and maintenance by users, the Talentis CRM provides an integrated CRM and candidate sourcing platform, which streamlines the executive search process – while offering a seamless user experience. This is an attractive combination for executive recruiters who are tasked with building candidate shortlists ever faster.

Purpose-Built Executive Search Technology

Unlike generalist recruitment CRM systems, Talentis was designed exclusively for executive search firms. The platform combines:

• Executive search CRM functionality
• Search assignment management
• Structured market mapping tools
• Candidate intelligence capture
• Access to hundreds of millions of public candidate and client profiles via the integrated TalentGraph
• Numerous AI integrations built into the platform.

For firms evaluating how to choose executive search software, a key consideration is whether the platform strengthens long-term value. Talentis enables firms to build a living executive database that compounds over time — rather than relying solely on external subscription databases.

Increasing Demand for Alternatives to Legacy Executive Search CRM Systems

In 2026, executive search firms are increasingly questioning the traditional combination of:

• A legacy executive search CRM
• LinkedIn Recruiter licences
• Disconnected research spreadsheets

The market is shifting toward unified executive search platforms that integrate workflow, research, and data ownership. Talentis has gained traction among boutique retained search firms, international networks, and growth-focused executive search businesses looking to modernise their technology stack.

As 2026 progresses, firms searching for:

• “Best executive search software”
• “Executive search CRM comparison”
• “LinkedIn Recruiter alternative for executive search”
• “Executive search database software”

are increasingly considering Talentis as a modern solution built specifically for retained search.

About Ikiru People

Ikiru People is a specialist provider of executive search technology and forms part of Dillistone Group Plc. Through Talentis, Ikiru People delivers purpose-built executive search software designed to help retained search firms build proprietary talent intelligence, manage assignments effectively, and strengthen long-term competitive advantage.

Crecimiento de las soluciones de infraestructura inteligente impulsadas por IA

La plataforma UbiVu®, la plataforma de gestión inteligente de activos de Ubicquia, se está consolidando rápidamente como la solución de Planificación de Recursos Empresariales (ERP) para infraestructuras críticas. Ubicquia está ampliando las capacidades de IA de UbiVu para ayudar a las empresas de servicios públicos y a las ciudades a reducir los gastos operativos y de mantenimiento, optimizar los flujos de trabajo y convertir grandes cantidades de datos en información útil. Desde una mejor gestión y visibilidad de los activos hasta el despacho inteligente y la resolución de problemas, la plataforma UbiVu permite a los propietarios de infraestructuras operar con mayor eficiencia, responder proactivamente a los problemas y prolongar la vida útil de los activos críticos.

Ubicquia amplió recientemente su ecosistema de alumbrado público inteligente con el lanzamiento de un conjunto de soluciones diseñadas para que las empresas de servicios públicos y los municipios modernicen sus redes de alumbrado público. Estas soluciones incluyen el controlador universal de alumbrado público modelo UbiCell® Micro, la mejora de la calidad del suministro eléctrico y la visibilidad de la IA proporcionada por la plataforma de gestión inteligente de activos UbiVu®, y UbiScout™, un accesorio de cámara inteligente compatible con Zhaga Book 18 que incorpora iluminación adaptativa, inteligencia de tráfico y análisis de aceras basado en IA a la infraestructura existente. En conjunto, estas tecnologías ayudan a las ciudades a reducir el consumo energético, optimizar el mantenimiento y mejorar la seguridad vial sin costosas renovaciones del sistema.

El servicio de Monitoreo de Energía de Ubicquia ofrece a las empresas de servicios públicos y a sus clientes comerciales e industriales visibilidad en tiempo real de la confiabilidad de la energía a nivel de transformador, proporcionada por un equipo dedicado de expertos en servicios públicos y ciencia de datos. El servicio implementa el UbiGrid® DTM+ en cada transformador de distribución y lo integra con la plataforma UbiVu, que aplica aprendizaje automático para detectar anomalías, diagnosticar perturbaciones de energía y brindar información práctica. Ofrecido como un servicio totalmente administrado, de marca blanca y por suscripción, sin costes iniciales de hardware, el Monitoreo de Energía ayuda a las organizaciones a mejorar el rendimiento de la red. Este modelo basado en servicios sigue siendo un factor clave del crecimiento recurrente de los ingresos de Ubicquia.

Ubicquia también está construyendo un ecosistema de seguridad pública conectado y en tiempo real que mejora el conocimiento de la situación y la seguridad comunitaria. Ubicquia ofrece una solución de seguridad pública de última generación, la plataforma de procesamiento UbiHub®, que permite el reconocimiento avanzado de matrículas, la transmisión en vivo y la inteligencia vehicular utilizando la infraestructura de alumbrado público existente. Al aprovechar los recursos ya desplegados en cada ciudad, la plataforma UbiHub actúa como un multiplicador de fuerza para los departamentos de seguridad con presupuesto limitado, dedicados a satisfacer las necesidades de seguridad pública de sus comunidades.
