Linea Energy and Crux Close Tax Equity Financing for 172 MWdc Michigan Solar Project

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6, 2026 — Linea Energy (“Linea”), a U.S.-based renewable energy developer and independent power producer that is sponsored by EnCap Investments L.P. (“EnCap”), today announced the closing of a tax equity financing with Crux for its Watertown solar project (“Watertown” or the “Project”). Watertown is a 172 MWdc utility-scale solar energy facility located in Sanilac County, Michigan.

The Watertown financing package includes a single-investor tax equity commitment from Crux. This tax equity commitment is the final commercialization transaction for the Watertown project. Linea previously announced a $299 million project debt raise comprised of a construction-to-term loan, a tax equity bridge loan, and a letter of credit facility. The debt financing was led by Santander Corporate & Investment Banking (“Santander”), with participation from Société Générale, S.A., Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, and Truist Bank. With this investment from Crux, the total capital raise for the project totals $457 million.

The Watertown project is contracted under a 25-year power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with Consumers Energy, a regulated Michigan utility operating under the jurisdiction of the Michigan Public Service Commission.

“Watertown represents exactly the kind of project Linea was built to execute — a large-scale, long-term clean energy asset paired with creditworthy offtake and an efficient financing structure. Linea’s acquisition of the Project in December 2024, and subsequent completion of development, commercialization, financing, and conversion to construction reflects the strength and depth of the Linea platform” said Cassidy DeLine, Chief Executive Officer of Linea Energy. “We’re proud to be bringing meaningful economic benefits to Sanilac County and clean, reliable power to Michigan consumers. We are grateful to Crux, Santander, and our full financing team for their partnership in getting this project to the construction phase.”

“Watertown is a strong example of the high-quality projects that define the market today — long-tenor contracted revenue and a financing structure that brings together the right capital in the right form. We’re pleased to support Linea Energy as they bring this project to market and look forward to continuing to deploy capital alongside next-gen independent power producers like Linea as clean energy demand continues to grow,” said Yonette Chung McLean, Chief Capital Officer of Crux.

Now under construction, Watertown is expected to support approximately 150 construction jobs and generate enough clean energy to power approximately 25,126 Michigan homes annually on the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (“MISO”) grid, roughly equivalent to every home in a city the size of Pontiac. Commercial operations are expected to begin in mid-2027. Over the project’s operating life, Watertown is projected to deliver $16.4 million in local property tax revenue to Sanilac County and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 148,389 metric tons annually, supporting a cleaner, more resilient energy grid across Michigan.

This tax equity closing marks another significant milestone in Linea’s growth as a leading independent power producer in the U.S. renewable energy market.

Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP served as borrower’s counsel to Linea Energy. Sidley Austin LLP served as legal counsel to Crux.

HELSINKI and JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 6, 2026CurifyLabs, a health technology company transforming how personalized medicines are made, today announced the closing of a $14 million Series A funding round. The round was co-led by Sandwater and HealthCap, with participation from Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment Ltd.) and existing investors, including Lifeline Ventures. U.S. customers and employees also participated in the round.

Proceeds will be used to expand U.S. operations, strengthen supply chain infrastructure, enhance customer support, and accelerate product innovation.

CurifyLabs’ Compounding System Solution (CSS) combines proprietary software, GMP-manufactured excipient bases, and advanced 3D printing technology to automate the preparation of personalized medications.

We are excited to support their rapid growth in the U.S. and beyond.”

“We have backed more than 136 life sciences companies over nearly three decades, and what sets the best founders apart is their ability to combine scientific depth with real-world execution,” said Daniel Karsberg, partner at HealthCap. “The CurifyLabs team has done exactly that.”

“CurifyLabs is the kind of company we want to support — innovative, globally ambitious, and built on deep scientific expertise,” said Joni Karsikas, Investment Director at Tesi. “Their growth in the U.S. is further proof that Finnish health technology can compete and win on the world stage.”

“This investment reflects the conviction our partners have in what we’re building,” said Charlotta Topelius, CEO and Founder, CurifyLabs. “We have set a high bar for clinical rigor, product quality, and customer support, and this funding gives us the resources to raise that bar further.”

The funding will support ongoing development of the CurifyLabs platform, including its most recent product, the PharmaPrinter Aurum, which compounds up to nine times faster than manual processes.

Keyfactor Announces $1B+ Strategic Growth Investment Led by Summit Partners to Expand Leadership in Securing the AI and Post-Quantum Enterprise

ATLANTA and STOCKHOLM, July 6, 2026Keyfactor, the leader in trust infrastructure for the AI and quantum era, today announced a $1 billion+ strategic growth investment led by Summit Partners. The transaction reflects the increasing strategic urgency around machine identity security, reinforcing Keyfactor’s industry leadership at a pivotal moment for enterprise security. The new investment will help accelerate the company’s global scale and growth initiatives, enabling product innovation, geographic expansion, team building and strategic acquisitions. Following the close of the transaction, existing investors, including Insight Partners and Sixth Street Growth, will maintain significant ownership in Keyfactor.

“Trust infrastructure has become the foundation that every enterprise, government agency, and AI-driven organization depends on, and Keyfactor is the platform built to manage it at scale,” said Jordan Rackie, Chief Executive Officer, Keyfactor. “This investment is a powerful validation of what our team has built and where we are headed. Summit Partners shares our conviction that the opportunity in front of us has never been larger, and this partnership gives us the resources and runway to capture it. For our customers and partners, this is a moment of continuity and acceleration: the same leadership, the same mission, and an even stronger platform.”

Four forces are converging to make trust infrastructure a board-level priority: AI-driven identity sprawl, shrinking certificate lifespans, tightening regulatory requirements, and the migration to post-quantum cryptography (“PQC”). Machine identities already outnumber human identities by orders of magnitude and continue to multiply faster than organizations can manage with fragmented tools and manual processes. Governments are reinforcing that urgency through new policy initiatives, including the White House’s June 2026 executive orders to accelerate the nation’s transition to post-quantum cryptography ahead of 2030. Trust can no longer be configured once and left alone. It must be continuously managed.

Meeting that challenge requires bringing these fragmented pieces under one roof. Keyfactor helps organizations manage digital trust through a unified approach rather than a collection of disconnected tools. The company’s Trust Control Plane is designed to provide centralized visibility into the machine identities, cryptographic assets, and trust systems that underpin digital operations, while automating key aspects of lifecycle management and supporting consistent governance across the enterprise. With Keyfactor, customers can achieve greater resilience, stronger security, and a measurable path to post-quantum readiness across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, spanning devices, workloads, and AI agents.

“In our view, the convergence of post-quantum preparation, agentic AI governance, shrinking certificate lifespans, and evolving regulatory expectations is creating an increasingly urgent need for a unified, enterprise-grade platform like Keyfactor’s,” said Andy Collins, a Managing Director at Summit Partners. “We believe the Keyfactor team has built a category-defining company with deep customer relationships, a highly differentiated solution, and a demonstrated ability to support organizations operating in some of the world’s most complex and regulated environments. Unlike point solutions that address a single stage of the certificate lifecycle, Keyfactor offers an end-to-end platform spanning cryptographic discovery, issuance, and ongoing management.”

With accelerating year-over-year revenue growth and a record of strong profitability, Keyfactor is scaling from a position of financial strength. The company issues and manages billions of machine identities globally each year, helping more than 2,500 customers worldwide secure and automate trust at scale. Today, Keyfactor supports 50% of the largest banks in the U.S. and Europe, 80% of leading U.S. retailers, and over 40% of Fortune 100 companies with deep penetration in financial services, banking, technology, healthcare, telecom, and the U.S. federal government. Earlier this year, the company achieved FedRAMP certification status to support federal agencies and other government customers, offering a cloud-based option for certificate lifecycle automation designed to support secure modernization efforts.

“Companies across industries and government entities are working to meet PQC-readiness before 2030, and we believe the market opportunity for Keyfactor is significant,” said Colin Mistele, a Managing Director at Summit Partners. “Keyfactor’s traction with early industry movers looking to prepare for compliance in the future, including those in the global financial services market, government and beyond, lays a solid foundation and builds confidence in the company’s potential in other markets.”

Upon the close of the transaction, both Andy Collins and Colin Mistele will join the Keyfactor Board of Directors.

“We are incredibly proud of what the Keyfactor team has built. The company has evolved from a market disruptor into a leader in machine identity management,” said Thomas Krane, Managing Director at Insight Partners and Board Member at Keyfactor. “Our conviction in the business is stronger than ever, and our decision to remain an active investor reflects our continued excitement for Keyfactor’s vision, leadership, and long-term growth potential.”

“Our enthusiasm for Keyfactor only continues to grow. Since our 2023 investment, the company has more than doubled in size, reflecting the strength of its leadership team and differentiated platform,” said Alex Katz, a Managing Director at Sixth Street Growth. “With demand for machine identity management and cryptographic security accelerating, we believe Keyfactor is well-positioned for its next phase of growth.”

Piper Sandler has served as financial advisor to Summit Partners, and Qatalyst Partners has served as financial advisor to Keyfactor.

Marlinspike Partners Closes Oversubscribed $127 Million Fund II to Rearm & Rebuild America

Marlinspike Disruptive Technology Fund II will invest in early-stage companies executing at the intersection of national security and American industrial strength.

ARLINGTON, Va., July 2, 2026Marlinspike Partners, a venture capital firm investing in dual-use technologies with national security and commercial applications, today announced the final close of Marlinspike Disruptive Technology Fund II at $127 million, surpassing its $75 million target.

Rearming and Rebuilding America is the most important mission of our time. With geopolitical tensions around the globe rising, the technological race to capture leadership in AI and robotics heating up, and de-globalization redrawing commercial relationships, the only guarantee of a bright future is a strong American military and economy.

The Fund II close comes at a critical time as AI and robotics are not only changing how wars are fought and won, but are also significantly increasing the strategic value of domestic industrial production. Marlinspike’s investments in rebuilding the industrial base to reclaim American dominance of global manufacturing will significantly increase America’s security and prosperity.

The oversubscribed Fund II will support Marlinspike’s continued investment in early-stage companies operating at the intersection of national security and next-generation industrials, with a focus on the United States and its allies. As industrial output gets progressively impacted by robotics and AI, Fund II will back companies developing technologies across artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, advanced manufacturing, and other mission-critical sectors.

“Marlinspike was built around the belief that maintaining American technological dominance requires investing in the companies rebuilding the industrial base and rearming the United States for the next generation of national security challenges,” said Neil Keegan, Co-Founder and CEO of Marlinspike Partners. “With Fund II, we are deepening our commitment to founders building technologies that can serve urgent defense needs while scaling into large commercial markets. We are high-conviction investors taking bold action before it’s obvious, funding companies shaping the next generation of industrial leadership.”

Marlinspike’s Fund II advances its strategy of building a generational investment firm focused on maintaining American technological leadership by investing in companies such as Anduril Industries, BrightAI, Layup Parts, Armada, JetZero, and others.

“We believe we are transitioning from a human-centric to an autonomy-centric world; from a world run and operated by humans to one run by AI and operated by robotics. We are at the early stages of the transition, and we expect to see meaningful acceleration of U.S. GDP growth in the next few years. We look for bold founders rebuilding the U.S. industrial base through grit and pushing the boundaries of engineering,” said Mislav Tolusic, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Marlinspike Partners. “The Internet did not change how we make and drive cars; AI is changing both. The implications for national security and economic prosperity are clear: nations that master AI-enabled design, manufacturing, and autonomy will build faster, compete harder, and lead the next industrial era.”

Fund II is supported by legacy Marlinspike investors, notable family offices, Conway Investment Solutions, and leading institutional investors including Fairfax County Employees’ and Police Officers Retirement Systems. “We are delighted to be partnering with Neil Keegan, Mislav Tolusic, and the broader team at Marlinspike,” noted Katherine Molnar, Chief Investment Officer of the Fairfax County Police Officers Retirement System. “We share a constructive outlook on the investment opportunities ahead across Autonomy, Advanced Manufacturing, and Artificial Intelligence.” Such investments reflect a growing interest in technologies serving national security, defense innovation, and commercial industrial markets.

About Marlinspike Partners
Marlinspike was founded in 2020 and, following successful co-investments in companies such as Palantir and Shield AI, launched a series of venture funds focused on dual-use technologies addressing national security imperatives. Marlinspike Disruptive Technology Fund I launched in 2022 with positions including Anduril Industries, Armada, Voyager Technologies, and Elroy Air. Marlinspike Disruptive Technology Fund II followed in 2024 with positions in Layup Parts, Kodiak AI, BrightAI, and JetZero, among others. The firm invests in the convergence of AI, Autonomy, Advanced Manufacturing, and other critical national security sectors. Marlinspike is headquartered in Arlington, VA.

Turbo Law raises $3.8M to bring case intelligence to complex litigation

Complex litigation produces the largest files in law: tens of thousands of pages of records, depositions, discovery, and correspondence per matter, multiplied across hundreds of active matters per firm. The systems that hold those files were built to store documents, not to understand them. Turbo Law reads the entire matter file and builds a Fact Graph — every party, expert, treater, admission, defense, and date, linked to the source line that put it there — then turns that intelligence into work product: chronologies, motions, discovery responses, case evaluations, and carrier-ready status reports.

Defense litigation firms can see Turbo Law in action today. To schedule a personalized demo and learn how the platform transforms case files into live case intelligence, visit https://turbolaw.ai/request-a-demo.

“The hardest matters in law run on the thinnest margins of time”, said Jay Sarmaz, co-founder and CEO of Turbo Law. “Everything a litigation team needs to win is already in the file — on page 8,000 of the record, or line 214 of a deposition. Turbo Law reads all of it, cites all of it, and turns it into the work product the matter actually demands.”

“Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping knowledge-intensive industries, and legal services represent one of the largest opportunities ahead. What impressed us most about Turbo Law is not only the strength of the technology, but the team’s deep understanding of defense litigation workflows and their ability to deliver measurable value to customers from day one. In a short period of time, they have secured meaningful commercial traction with leading law firms and built a product that addresses a highly complex and underserved segment of the legal market. We believe Turbo Law has the potential to become the category leader in AI-powered defense litigation, and we are excited to support Jay, Ozgur, and the entire team on that journey.” said Cenk Bayrakdar, Founding Partner and Managing Director of Revo Capital.

Turbo Law is live at firms across medical malpractice, mass tort, toxic tort, transportation, M&A and adjacent complex-litigation verticals, with 1,800+ active matters running on the platform. Firms using Turbo Law report a 60% reduction in non-billable hours per matter, 10% fewer write-offs, and significant profitability on alternative fee arrangements (AFAs).

The round funds three things: deeper coverage of the verticals Turbo Law serves, expansion of the go-to-market and engineering teams, and continued investment in the security and compliance posture the legal industry requires.

About Turbo Law — Turbo Law is the unified litigation platform for complex litigation. The platform reads the entire matter file, builds a line-cited Fact Graph, and turns it into work product across review, drafting, research, strategy and settlement, and an always-on assistant. Turbo Law is headquartered in San Mateo, CA and backed by Revo Capital, Treeo VC, BridgeX Ventures, Alchemist Accelerator, and multiple technology executives and litigation partners.

Metacon granted approximately SEK 111 million from Klimatklivet for hydrogen production reference plant in Uppsala

STOCKHOLM, July 2, 2026Metacon AB (publ) has been granted up to SEK 111 million in support from Klimatklivet to build a 10 MW electrolysis plant in Uppsala for local production of green hydrogen for use in industry and fossil-free and environmentally friendly transport. The project is part of Metacon’s strategy to more clearly demonstrate leading solutions to the market and will be implemented as a full-scale production plant connected to Metacon’s business.

Metacon has been granted climate investment support to build an electrolysis plant at Uppsala Vatten och Avfall AB’s Hovgården waste management facility outside Uppsala. The support amounts to a maximum of approximately SEK 111 million and corresponds to 55 percent of a total project investment of SEK 202 million.

The planned plant will have a capacity of 10 MW and an estimated annual production of approximately 1,480 tonnes of hydrogen at full-scale operation. The hydrogen is intended to be delivered to industrial users and hydrogen refuelling stations in Central Sweden, where availability is currently limited and largely dependent on transport from other regions and countries.

The project is based on production under real market conditions, with the aim of increasing the availability of green hydrogen in the region. Interest in the production has primarily been verified through letters of intent with both national and local market participants.

Climate benefit and system integration

According to the approved application, the project is expected to reduce emissions by around 23,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, mainly by replacing diesel in heavy transport and reducing the need for long-distance hydrogen transport.

The project also includes integration and synergies with existing operations at Hovgården. Oxygen generated in the electrolysis process is planned to be used in Uppsala Vatten och Avfall’s process for leachate treatment, while the heat generated in the process will be recovered for heating within the facility. This contributes to highly efficient overall energy use and resource utilisation in the system.

Strategic investment for Metacon

For Metacon, the project also constitutes a strategic reference plant in commercial operation. The plant enables demonstration of the company’s technology, system integration and operation under real conditions, which is central in dialogues with customers and partners. One of the purposes is to strengthen the company’s core business in the design, integration and delivery of hydrogen systems by establishing a full-scale reference environment for Metacon’s electrolysis modules for large-scale production of green hydrogen on market-based and competitive terms.

Financing

Metacon’s net investment after received support is already partly financed through the acquisition of assets from Hynion’s bankruptcy estate, which was communicated on 14 October 2025. The project is also structured so that the capital requirement is lower in the initial phases, meaning that the majority of the remaining financing need will arise later in the project.

Timeline

Construction is planned to start in the second half of 2026, with commissioning expected during the first quarter of 2029.

We are pleased that Klimatklivet wants to enable this initiative, which will show that green hydrogen can be produced efficiently and locally at larger scale. The project brings climate benefits, increased resilience and a higher degree of self-sufficiency in the region, and has clear relevance to market needs. For Metacon, the plant is also an important reference environment where customers and other decision-makers can evaluate a complete production module in practice – from technology and integration to operation and use,” says Christer Wikner, President and CEO of Metacon.

This information is information that Metacon AB (publ) is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted, through the agency of the above contact person, for publication on 2 July 2026 at 14:18 CEST.

LinqAlpha Raises $22 Million to Build the Alpha Intelligence Layer for Global Public Markets

LinqAlpha turns each investor’s own research into AI agents that surface market-moving signals before they are priced in.

NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 — LinqAlpha, the AI-native company building the Alpha Intelligence Layer for global public markets, today announced $22 million in Series A funding. The round was anchored by AVP, Atinum Investment, and GFT Ventures, with participation from a global syndicate of strategic financial institutions and venture platforms.

Founded by Jacob Choi, Subeen Pang, Jin Kim, and Hojun Choi, LinqAlpha brings together former Goldman Sachs analysts and MIT computer science PhDs. Since launch, the platform has seen rapid adoption, serving over 70 financial institutions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including sell-side sales, trading, and research teams at leading investment banks, as well as buy-side clients such as Causeway Capital Management LLC and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC. Collectively, LinqAlpha’s buy-side clients manage more than $5 trillion in assets.

The company was built to address a critical inflection point in modern finance: public markets have become too fast, global, and interconnected for traditional research workflows. A supply-chain disruption in Asia, a policy shift in Europe, a social-media signal, an earnings call, and a credit-market move can all become part of the same thesis within hours. The challenge for institutional investors is no longer finding information; it is synthesizing thousands of moving signals into differentiated judgment before consensus catches up.

“The first wave of AI in finance made analysts faster. The next wave changes what they can know,” said Hojun Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha. “The edge no longer comes from retrieving information; it comes from systems that surface market-moving signals before they are priced in.”

To deliver this edge, LinqAlpha enables institutional teams to deploy specialized AI agents that learn each user’s unique investment framework.

“In effect, LinqAlpha builds a second brain for every investment team: one that turns accumulated research into actionable insight across liquid public markets,” said Jacob Choi, co-founder and co-CEO of LinqAlpha. “Instead of a generic model’s average answer, each team gets agents that reason in the context of its own thesis history and evolve with its feedback and market view.”

“Most AI tools in finance help professionals retrieve information faster or automate repetitive work,” said Manish Agarwal, General Partner at AVP. “LinqAlpha is addressing a larger opportunity: building systems that help institutional investors discover differentiated insights in public markets that reward speed, context, and proprietary judgment.”

Alongside the lead investors, the round was oversubscribed with participation from a deep bench of strategic financial institutions and venture platforms across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The new capital will be used to expand LinqAlpha’s global team—now headquartered in New York—deepen integrations across market and alternative datasets, and accelerate the deployment of its multi-agent platform across equities, macro, credit, and multi-asset strategies.

About LinqAlpha

LinqAlpha is a New York-based AI company building the Alpha Intelligence Layer for global public markets. Its platform lets institutional investors deploy specialized AI agents that learn each user’s investment framework and synthesize data into actionable insight. More than 70 financial institutions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia use LinqAlpha to support investment research and decision-making, including buy-side clients that collectively manage more than $5 trillion in assets.

Backed by returning investor Pivotal Ventures, a Melinda French Gates organization, the fund includes new investors Jordan Park and Unum, with financing from California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank), alongside leading foundations, funds of funds, family offices and visionary business leaders.

“Magnify’s investment in the care economy is an investment in one of society’s most pressing issues: family health and well-being,” said Erin Harkless Moore, managing director of Investments at Pivotal Ventures. ”Joanna and Julie understood this early on and had the conviction to take on a sector that has long been under-resourced, despite being a $648 billion market opportunity. They saw that investing in caregiving benefits not only women and families, but also the broader economy. I can’t imagine a stronger team to carry this vision forward.”

A Once‑Overlooked Market Gains Momentum

Magnify Ventures launched Fund I with a thesis that the care economy, long under-built and underinvested, was poised to become a broad, investable ecosystem powered by emerging technologies and poised for transformation. Over the past four years, Magnify Ventures has built a portfolio of breakout companies defining new categories across parenting, aging, household optimization and financial resilience, while convening a growing community of founders, operators and investors around the opportunity.

Venture interest in the care economy has accelerated by 45% in the last four years, with more than $26 billion invested in over 700 companies since 2015, according to The Holding Co. in partnership with Pivotal Ventures. Magnify Ventures invests across the traditional care economy — from pregnancy through to end of life caregiving solutions — and into the healthcare, financial and consumer systems that surround families. As those markets have grown, so has Magnify Ventures’ conviction that its focus on families and caregiving creates a competitive edge well beyond the category’s traditional boundaries.

“IBank’s Venture Capital Program was created to expand access to capital for innovative entrepreneurs and emerging funds driving California’s future economy. Magnify Ventures is identifying founders who are tackling some of the most significant challenges facing families, caregivers, and communities as essential participants in the care economy,” said Andy Nakahata, executive director, California IBank. “As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, the care economy represents a compelling opportunity for innovation and growth. We are excited to support Fund II and the founders developing technologies that will modernize critical infrastructure, create jobs, and provide meaningful benefits to families.”

With Fund II, Magnify Ventures will invest in founders that are moving beyond early-category platforms into applied AI that directly improves how people live, work and care for one another. This includes AI that reduces the invisible labor of running a household, agentic tools that improve quality and reduce cost across health and home systems, and fintech infrastructure that modernizes how families build and protect wealth. The firm will also back founders building the healthcare, home and workplace infrastructure built for the modern family.

“We’re at a real inflection point in some of the world’s largest, most under leveraged markets: care, wealth, aging, and the broader health, consumer and financial systems that shape family life. AI is the key to unlocking new opportunities in markets that have been stagnant for decades, inspiring innovative companies to create generational change,” said Julie Wroblewski, co-founder and managing partner of Magnify Ventures. “With Fund II, we will back the founders defining the next era of the care economy, aging and longevity, and women’s health.”

Building that infrastructure takes more than capital. Magnify Ventures is the founding producer of the Care Summit, which brings together founders, investors and LPs across the care economy. The Care Summit will return to San Francisco February 2, 2027.

Founder Quotes

Alexandra Mysoor, Co-Founder and CEO, Alix

“For most families, settling an estate means navigating hundreds of hours of practical, financial, and administrative work during one of life’s hardest moments. Today, the process takes an average of 900 hours and 18 months to complete. As more than $120 trillion transfers across generations in the largest wealth transfer in history, Alix is applying AI to simplify estate settlement and help families navigate this transition more efficiently. Magnify recognized the scale of that opportunity early on, and their belief in us from day one has been invaluable to our growth.”

Alan Charming Chan, Co-Founder and CEO, Joy Parenting Club

“Joy is built on a simple belief: Every parent deserves access to the kind of expert guidance and support that was once available only to a fortunate few. For the first time, AI makes it possible to bring a family’s trusted experts, personalized guidance and essential resources together in one place, replacing the fragmented experience of juggling dozens of apps, websites and services. Magnify understood that vision because of their depth of knowledge in care, and their network and category expertise have helped us grow.”

Patrick Coughlin, Co-Founder and CEO, Savi Security

“Savi Security is building a seamless protection platform for families at a time when digital fraud is not just the fastest-growing crime in the country, but also the most financially damaging, costing Americans over $100 billion annually.
