Neuberger Specialty Finance Announces Launch of New Bridge AeroFinance

New aerospace financing platform will seek to provide flexible and scalable capital to aerospace sector

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 — Neuberger Specialty Finance (“NBSF“) today announced an agreement with several leading aerospace finance professionals to jointly establish and launch New Bridge AeroFinance (“New Bridge Aero“), a new aerospace financing platform that will enable NBSF- managed funds to originate and acquire loans and other debt instruments across the aerospace sector. New Bridge Aero will aim to pursue aerospace financing opportunities consistent with NBSF’s focus on asset-based investments that seek to offer downside protection and durable cash flows. The platform will initially seek to build a portfolio in excess of US$2 billion.

New Bridge Aero will be led by Richard Moody, with Debbie Frew and William Glaister assuming the roles of Co-Founders and Principals. The management team brings significant aviation experience to the platform, with Moody most recently serving as Global Head of Aviation Finance at Hamburg Commercial Bank AG, having earlier led Transportation Finance at Deutsche Bank AG globally. Frew and Glaister bring complementary expertise, with Frew holding senior aviation finance positions at Hamburg Commercial Bank AG and Deutsche Bank AG, and Glaister previously serving as Global Head of Asset Finance at Clifford Chance LLP.

Neuberger Specialty Finance is the Asset Based Finance arm of Neuberger, a private, independent, and employee-owned investment manager, which manages US$613 billion of equities, fixed income, private equity, real estate and hedge fund portfolios for global institutions, advisors and individuals[1]. NBSF manages over US$5 billion across 50+ portfolio companies and various investment vehicles since the strategy’s inception in 2018. The group is led by Peter Sterling and has cumulatively invested more than US16 billion through 80 global origination partners, from commercial banks to fintechs, across thousands of underlying loans.

Commenting on the announcement, Sean Hinze, Managing Director who leads hard asset investing at NBSF said,  “Launching New Bridge AeroFinance represents a compelling opportunity to build a differentiated aviation & transportation credit platform in a market where specialized capital, structuring expertise and speed of execution are increasingly valuable. Aviation finance is a complex, asset-intensive sector where deep underwriting experience matters.  We believe New Bridge is well positioned to provide flexible, scalable financing solutions across the capital structure.

Richard Moody and his team bring substantial experience across aviation and transportation finance, and we believe combining that specialist capability with Neuberger Specialty Finance’s capital base, sourcing network and global platform creates a significant opportunity to build a leading franchise.

Richard Moody added, “We are delighted to partner with Neuberger to develop a structured debt platform focused on creative solutions for the broader aerospace sector, targeting transactions across the capital stack involving not just aircraft but all parts of the aviation and aerospace ecosystem.  Neuberger Specialty Finance’s experienced team, creative approach, and flexible capital make them a natural partner in our mission to build a best-in-class financing business”.

Sophia Space and SLI Set Terms for $300 Million Asset Financing for 10-Satellite High-Performance Edge Computing Constellation

SLI’s asset financing model, proven across other asset classes, such as transportation and energy, now accelerates deployment of orbital infrastructure

PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 — Sophia Space today announced a $300 million financing framework with aerospace leasing specialist, SLI, for a planned 10-satellite high-performance edge computing constellation, bringing proven financing models used to scale aviation, energy, maritime, rail, and telecommunications, into this next phase of orbital computing. Under the arrangement, SLI will purchase the satellites from Sophia and lease them to the end-users on the basis of fixed monthly or quarterly payments.

Once deployed, the constellation would deliver aggregate computing capacity equivalent to 240 state-of-the-art edge servers, while allowing Sophia to preserve equity capital for technology development and operations.

The collaboration also reflects a long-term commitment between the two companies to develop the financing structures and deployment playbook that orbital compute infrastructure will require to move from the laboratory to low Earth orbit.

“Asset financing didn’t invent aviation or shipping, but it accelerated them at scale,” said Rob DeMillo, CEO and Cofounder of Sophia Space. “We’re doing the same for orbital computing. This approach with SLI signals that Sophia Space’s space infrastructure is mature enough to attract the capital structures that have historically built terrestrial infrastructure.”

The financing structure, outlined in a non-binding letter of support, aligns SLI’s financing with Sophia’s build and deployment schedule, supporting the purchase and deployment of 10 Sophia TILE spacecraft through a long-term operating lease. Mission launches are scheduled for as early as 2028.

The constellation is designed to deliver in-orbit edge data services for applications including Earth observation, weather analytics, supply-chain management, and disaster preparedness, while also addressing growing demand for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and other mission-critical security applications.

“Lowering barriers to entry unlocks markets,” explained Praveen Vetrivel, Chief Executive Officer at SLI. “Sophia has the technology, the team, and the vision. What had been missing was access to scalable, non-dilutive capital. This framework provides it, giving them the capacity and flexibility they need to build the next layer of digital infrastructure.”

The long-term lease is designed to span the satellites’ expected useful lives, matching capital deployment with the revenue-generating life of the assets. The approach provides Sophia with a predictable financing structure for scaling its orbital infrastructure without relying exclusively on equity capital.

SLI is the aerospace subsidiary of Libra Group, which brings more than $15 billion in asset financing experience in the transportation industries to the space economy.

About Sophia Space Inc.
Sophia Space is building the future of orbital computing and in-space data centers. Its modular TILE technology enables passive computing alongside in-situ data processing, AI acceleration, and edge computing for satellites, defense systems, and commercial space stations, dramatically reducing latency and delivering actionable insights where and when they are needed.

About SLI
SLI was established by Libra Group in 2023 to address the capital needs of the rapidly growing aerospace industry by providing flexible, innovative asset-financing solutions with an initial focus on satellites, ground stations and frontier aviation assets, such as zero-emission electric aircraft. Leveraging Libra Group companies’ decades of experience owning and leasing high-value, mission-critical assets around the world across aviation, maritime, and renewable energy, SLI seeks to bridge the gap between capital availability and asset deployment, accelerating the creation of an integrated aerospace economy. www.sliaerospace.com

EscapeSquid Pursues $2.5 Million Seed Round to Scale Virtual-to-Destination Fitness and Travel Platform

EscapeSquid Connecting Riders with Local Experiences

NEWARK, Del., Sept. 11, 2026 — Xanh Entertainment Inc., developer of EscapeSquid, today announced that the company is pursuing a $2.5 million seed funding round to support the next phase of development and expansion of its virtual-to-destination fitness, entertainment and travel platform.

EscapeSquid is expanding its model around stationary cycling and fitness experiences, creating a progression that can take participants from at-home virtual rides to participating fitness studios, local events and destination travel experiences.

“Our next phase is about building the infrastructure that connects virtual fitness participation with local businesses and ultimately destination travel,” said John Phung, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Xanh Entertainment Inc. “If completed, the proposed $2.5 million seed round is intended to give us the resources to develop that network, expand our technology and establish partnerships across fitness, hospitality and travel.”

From Virtual Rides to Real-World Travel

The platform is intended to allow participants to begin through virtual cycling and on-demand experiences using compatible stationary bikes and then progress into participating studio classes, local experiences and destination events.

For local businesses, the model is designed to create additional opportunities to reach both residents and travelers. Fitness studios can participate through classes and events, while hotels, restaurants, attractions and tour operators can become part of the destination experience.

The company believes this structure can create a scalable ecosystem connecting:

Virtual Participation → Studio Classes → Local Experiences → Regional Events → Destination Travel

“Our goal is to bring people together while supporting the local businesses that make each destination unique,” John said. “We want our events to create new opportunities for local fitness studios, restaurants, hotels, attractions and other businesses.”

Planned Use of Seed Capital

As EscapeSquid enters its next stage and as part of its planned market rollout, EscapeSquid intends to host kickoff dinners and fitness evening events in select U.S. cities, with event details expected to be announced later in 2026. Initial markets are expected to include Nashville, Tennessee; Portland, Oregon; Anaheim, California; Dallas, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; and New York City, New York. The events are intended to introduce the EscapeSquid experience while bringing together participants, local fitness operators, hospitality partners and other local businesses.

The $2.5 million seed initiative is intended to help EscapeSquid move into its next stage of growth. The company plans to use the funding to expand its technology, grow fitness and studio partnerships, build its hospitality and travel network, and launch local and destination events in select U.S. markets.

About EscapeSquid

EscapeSquid, developed by Xanh Entertainment Inc., is a travel platform that connects virtual fitness and stationary cycling with local experiences, fitness studios, events, hospitality and destination travel.

UrgentIQ Announces Strategic Growth Investment From Five Elms Capital

Five Elms Capital leads investment to accelerate UrgentIQ’s AI platform and expansion across the rapidly growing urgent care market

  • UrgentIQ has received a Series A growth investment from Five Elms Capital, accelerating the company’s mission to build the definitive AI-native operating system for urgent care centers.
     
  • The investment will accelerate UrgentIQ’s expansion beyond the EMR into a unified clinical and financial platform, including AI-powered documentation and coding, automated revenue cycle management, insurance verification, and checkout.
     
  • Five Elms Capital brings deep experience scaling vertical AI-native software businesses and will support UrgentIQ as it continues to grow and innovate across the urgent care industry.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2026 — UrgentIQ, the AI-native electronic medical record (EMR) purpose-built for urgent care centers, announced today a $15M Series A growth investment from Five Elms Capital. The partnership will accelerate UrgentIQ’s product roadmap to expand AI-powered clinical workflows while scaling the team to better serve a rapidly growing network of urgent care operators across the country.

Founded by Nat Gibbs, UrgentIQ has quickly established itself as an AI-native platform built specifically to support urgent care centers, earning a 9.7/10 average customer satisfaction rating. Unlike legacy EMRs adapted from hospital and primary care environments, UrgentIQ was built from the ground up around the unique economics and workflow of urgent care – where speed, throughput, documentation, coding, and collections are tightly interconnected. Customers leveraging UrgentIQ platform cited significant improvement in throughput times of patients in their facilities, through agentic AI-powered automation and a seamless experience for the end user.

“Urgent care is one of the most operationally demanding environments in healthcare: patients arrive sporadically and providers have minutes, not hours, to make decisions; plus every visit has to move seamlessly from care to payment.” said Nat Gibbs, Founder and CEO of UrgentIQ. “And yet, the industry’s core software was largely built for healthcare environments that operate nothing like this. We believe urgent care deserves its own operating system – one designed around speed, intelligence, and automation from the ground up. That is what we’re building with UrgentIQ.”

With Five Elms’ backing, UrgentIQ will accelerate development of its core platform, including a native billing module to bring revenue cycle management fully in-house, advanced AI-powered diagnosis and coding capabilities, live insurance verification, and an AI checkout agent. These capabilities are designed to help clinics see more patients, capture more revenue, and reduce administrative burden across every stage of the patient visit. As the urgent care market consolidates around private equity-backed platforms and multi-site groups, UrgentIQ is positioned to serve both independent operators and larger organizations seeking a modern, scalable platform that works across their entire network.

Joe Onofrio, Partner at Five Elms Capital, commented on the investment: “UrgentIQ has built a platform with exceptional operator adoption and product satisfaction, and the metrics reflect it. We are proud to partner with Nat and the team as they bring a modern, purpose-built solution to a market that has been long overdue for one”.

About UrgentIQ

UrgentIQ is the AI-native operating system for urgent care. Built from the ground up around the speed, throughput, and economics of walk-in care, UrgentIQ brings scheduling, patient intake, clinical documentation, AI-powered coding, revenue cycle management, and payments together on a single intelligent platform. By embedding AI directly into the workflows that run an urgent care center, UrgentIQ helps operators automate administrative work, move patients through care faster, and capture more of the revenue they earn. UrgentIQ is trusted by independent operators and multi-site urgent care groups across the country. For more information, please visit urgentiq.com.

iGan Partners Portfolio Update: Momentum Across Medtech and Health Data

TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2026 — iGan Partners, a Toronto-based venture capital firm investing in medical device, diagnostic, imaging, and digital health companies, today shared recent milestones from across its portfolio.

Flosonics Medical announced a development contract, valued at up to $70 million, with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The contract includes initial funding of approximately $15 million and supports FloPredict, an AI-enabled software enhancement to the company’s FDA-cleared FloPatch device, extending the company’s real-time ultrasound technology into trauma care and mass casualty response.

Exact Imaging delivered 166% year-over-year revenue growth in its first 12 months following a strategic transition from a single international distribution model to a direct sales and expanded distribution network approach. The company also strengthened its North American direct sales team, and the body of peer-reviewed literature supporting ExactVu now exceeds 140 published papers.

MolecuLight and The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust announced the publication of the first clinical study evaluating fluorescence imaging during orthopaedic surgery. The prospective 10-patient pilot extends MolecuLight’s clinical evidence base beyond chronic wound care into perioperative surgical applications.

Cosm Medical entered a licensing and collaboration agreement with Duke Health and Mayo Clinic to develop and commercialize Gynethotics Recovery, a new class of personalized devices for recovery after pelvic reconstructive surgery, built on Cosm’s digital gynecology platform combining medical imaging and 3D printing.

Marble launched a dedicated medical records service for claimants under the Pan-Canadian Claimants’ Compensation Plan, the $2.521 billion fund for eligible claimants outside Quebec under Canada’s tobacco settlement, working with plan agent Epiq to gather the medical evidence eligibility turns on.

Segmed provided the data behind a new paper with Stanford University and the University of Washington School of Medicine, published in The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, which tested 54 large language model configurations on cardiac imaging reports and found that open-weight models can approach the agreement of expert radiologists.

FAZE Security emerged from stealth today with 50 enterprise customers, including several Fortune 500 companies, and ~20X ARR growth in 18 months. The company also announced $6M in seed funding led by New Era Capital Partners with participation from Lockstep VC

NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 11, 2026 — Enterprises are unable to bridge the gap between the rising number of vulnerabilities and their ability to fix them. Annual pentests are out of date the day the report lands. Scanners generate thousands of unranked findings. Security teams spend their time triaging noise while attackers, increasingly armed with AI, exploit the gaps in hours. The result is a remediation backlog that grows faster than any human team can close it.

FAZE is the Offensive Security Orchestration platform built to close that gap. At its core an Agentic Red Team (ART): autonomous agents trained on proprietary attack data from thousands of white-hat hackers, running continuously against the customer’s web applications, APIs, and cloud environments, within strict guardrails. The agents discover novel exposures, exploit them the way a real attacker would, and rank them by proven business impact, not theoretical severity. Every finding ships with working proof, an assigned owner, and a remediation path, and FAZE automatically re-tests until the exploit fails. Customers report close to zero false positives and over 50% faster Mean Time To Remediate (MTTR) versus scanners and point-in-time pentests.

“FAZE’s exponential growth is no surprise,” said Ziv Conen, Partner at New Era Capital Partners. “It is the direct result of real technological advantage: proprietary data from thousands of white-hat hackers, paired with advanced agentic capabilities across the full offensive cycle, from discovery through re-test. Sustained growth at this pace while serving Fortune 500 security teams is a testament to the strength of the management team. We are proud to back FAZE as it redefines offensive security.”

FAZE Security was formerly known as CYTRIX.
