Replit conclut un financement de 250 millions de dollars afin de profiter de l’élan généré par ses clients

Des créateurs de divers secteurs utilisent Replit pour créer des applications, notamment les équipes de Zillow, Duolingo et Coinbase. Fort de cette dynamique, Replit lance aujourd’hui l’Agent 3, son agent le plus autonome à ce jour. Ces avancées signalent la transformation d’un agent assistant utile en véritable collaborateur. L’agent 3 est dix fois plus autonome que les versions précédentes, avec la possibilité de tester et de corriger le code ainsi que de construire des agents et des flux de travail personnalisés capables automatiser des tâches complexes ou répétitives pour tout type de travail et pas seulement pour l’ingénierie logicielle.

« Nous avons été les premiers à faire du vibe-coding (programmation au ressenti) une réalité pour les personnes sans expérience préalable du codage dans le monde entier », a déclaré Amjad Masad, PDG et fondateur de Replit. « Grâce à cette augmentation et à notre nouvel agent d’intelligence artificielle, nous sommes en mesure d’accélérer la traction des clients et de devenir la norme pour les entreprises. L’avenir est passionnant : des millions, voire des milliards de personnes donneront vie à leurs idées en quelques clics. »

« La vision de Replit, consistant à donner à chacun les moyens de construire, a trouvé un écho favorable chez nous. La traction avec des individus, des équipes et des entreprises a positionné Replit comme la principale plateforme d’IA agentique construisant des logiciels, des agents et des flux de travail personnalisés », a déclaré Jay Park, associé directeur et cofondateur de Prysm Capital, « Nous sommes ravis de soutenir l’équipe de Replit dans la prochaine phase de leur aventure. »

En plus de ce nouvel investissement, Replit a annoncé que ses produits sont désormais à la disposition des clients du monde entier par l’intermédiaire de Google Cloud Marketplace. 

« Replit montre ce qu’il est possible de faire avec des agents d’intelligence artificielle », a déclaré Jonathan Silber, directeur du AI Futures Fund chez Google. « Nous sommes impatients de travailler avec eux pour créer des agents utilisant Gemini qui alimenteront les entreprises et continueront à offrir les avantages de Gemini aux développeurs de logiciels. »

Les nouveaux fonds seront utilisés pour élargir les opérations, accélérer le développement des produits et l’expansion mondiale, alors que Replit construit une nouvelle façon de travailler à l’ère de l’IA.

« Nous avons investi dans Replit parce que nous pensons que ses solutions de vibe-coding ont le pouvoir de transformer la façon dont les entreprises construisent – en donnant aux employés non techniques les outils nécessaires pour donner vie aux produits logiciels », a déclaré Kevin Weber, vice-président d’Amex Ventures. « Nous sommes impatients de voir comment la technologie de Replit peut accélérer le développement de produits pour les entreprises de toutes tailles et alimenter la croissance de la société. »

Replit a été créé avec l’idée que tout un chacun peut créer des logiciels. En supprimant les barrières entre une idée et un produit fini, Replit permet aux individus, aux équipes et aux entreprises d’innover plus rapidement et d’avoir une plus grande portée. 

L’agent 3 constitue une avancée dans le domaine du développement de logiciels autonomes.

  • L’agent 3 constitue une avancée dans le domaine du développement autonome de logiciels, car il peut donner vie à des idées avec une interaction minimale avec l’utilisateur.
  • L’agent 3 est le premier agent sur le marché capable de travailler comme un véritable coéquipier. L’agent 1 ne pouvait travailler que pendant 2 minutes, tandis que l’agent 2 travaillait jusqu’à 20 minutes. Désormais, l’agent 3 peut travailler jusqu’à 200 minutes, s’attaquant à des tâches de niveau humain.
  • L’agent 3 peut tester et corriger son code, améliorant constamment l’application de l’utilisateur dans les coulisses. Le système de test propriétaire de Replit est jusqu’à trois fois plus rapide et dix fois moins cher que les modèles utilisés par ordinateur.
  • L’agent 3 se comporte un véritable développeur et il décidera périodiquement de se tester. Les utilisateurs pourront voir le navigateur de l’agent parcourir l’application, vérifier les boutons, les formulaires, les API, les sources de données, etc. et confirmer que chaque partie de l’application fonctionne comme prévu.

TVM Capital Healthcare Announces First Closing of its USD 150 Million Southeast Asia Fund

SINGAPORE, Sept. 10, 2025 — TVM Capital Healthcare, a global private equity investor and operator specialized in healthcare growth capital across emerging markets, today announced the first closing of its USD 150 million TVM Healthcare Southeast Asia Fund (“SEA Fund”).

The SEA Fund is the third generation of TVM Capital Healthcare funds and builds on the firm’s nearly 40 years of global healthcare investment and operator experience, including over 15 years of scaling healthcare companies across the Middle East and Southeast Asia. TVM Capital Healthcare has a strong track record of creating leading specialty care providers and advancing innovative care models outside of traditional hospital settings that expand access and improve quality of healthcare delivery.

Commitments to the SEA Fund have come from a broad group of leading institutional investors, including cornerstone investor, Invest International, founded by the Dutch government and FMO to support Dutch businesses and international partners with financing solutions that drive sustainable economic growth and create positive social and environmental impact worldwide.

The TVM Healthcare Southeast Asia Fund will focus on underpenetrated market segments where demand is high, but supply remains limited, including but not limited to post-acute and rehabilitation services, women’s health, diabetic and oncology care, and local manufacturing of essential pharmaceuticals. By addressing these urgent needs, the fund reinforces the resilience of healthcare as an investment sector and its fundamental importance to economic and social development.

In addition to scaling local specialty care clinics to become national and regional leaders, TVM Capital Healthcare also strategically invests in healthcare innovators from the US and Europe, directing their expansion into Southeast Asian target markets, as well as building cross-border partnerships such as those it has established with US-based, Harvard-affiliated teaching hospitals and leading European medtech companies —  to help accelerate the transfer of proven models of care, advanced medical technologies, and global best practices into local ecosystems.

The firm’s model emphasizes operational partnerships, global accreditations, and robust governance structures, enabling companies to grow as best-in-class businesses and supporting the leapfrogging of emerging market healthcare systems into new standards of care.

Hoda Abou-Jamra, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Southeast Asia, TVM Capital Healthcare, said:
“This first close marks an important step in supporting Southeast Asia’s healthcare ecosystem and entrepreneurs. By combining capital with operational expertise and introducing proven healthcare models from around the world, we are helping to create companies that can lead nationally and regionally, improve access to quality care, and contribute to building sustainable healthcare systems.”

Jannie Tsuei, Partner, TVM Capital Healthcare, added:
“We see a unique opportunity in Southeast Asia’s healthcare sector, particularly in specialty care and medical manufacturing. With our investment strategy that combines local growth with international expansion, we can help companies scale into institutional-quality leaders delivering impactful healthcare outcomes.”

Eelco Benink, Head of Equity at Invest International, commented:
“Robust and equitable health care systems ensure that economies can become and remain resilient. Invest International is proud to anchor TVM Capital Healthcare’s SEA Fund. Its strategy — delivering accessible, quality healthcare while ensuring strong ESG performance — aligns with our mission to create sustainable impact by linking local companies to global solutions. Together, we will help build healthcare infrastructure that benefits patients and supports long-term development.”

Replit Closes $250 Million in Funding to Build on Customer Momentum

Creators across various industries use Replit to build apps, including teams at Zillow, Duolingo, and Coinbase, among others. Building on this customer momentum, Replit launched Agent 3 today, its most autonomous agent to date. These advances mark a shift from a helpful assistant agent to a true collaborator. Agent 3 is ten times more autonomous than previous versions, with the ability to test and fix code, and to build custom agents and workflows that can automate complex or repetitive tasks for any type of work, not just software engineering.

“We were the first to make vibe-coding a reality for individuals with no prior coding experience across the world,” said Amjad Masad, CEO and founder of Replit.  “With the raise and our new AI Agent, we are positioned to supercharge customer traction to become the standard for enterprises. The future is exciting with millions — if not billions — of people bringing their ideas to life with a few clicks.”

“Replit’s vision — to empower everyone to build — strongly resonated with us. The traction with individuals, teams and enterprises has positioned Replit to be the leading agentic AI platform building custom software, agents and workflows” said Jay Park, managing partner and co-founder of Prysm Capital, “We are thrilled to support the Replit team in the next phase of their journey.”

In addition to the new investment, Replit announced that its products are now available to global customers through the Google Cloud Marketplace. 

“Replit is demonstrating what is possible with AI agents,” said Jonathan Silber, director of the AI Futures Fund at Google. “We look forward to working with them to build agents using Gemini that will power the enterprise and continue bringing the benefits of Gemini to software developers.”

The new funds will be used for scaling operations, accelerated product development, and global expansion as Replit builds out a new way to work in the era of AI.

“We invested in Replit because we believe its vibe-coding solutions have the power to transform how businesses build — by empowering non-technical employees with the tools to bring software products to life,” said Kevin Weber, vice president, Amex Ventures. “We’re excited to see how Replit’s technology can accelerate product development for enterprises of all sizes and fuel the company’s growth.”

Replit was started with the vision that anyone can create software. By breaking down the barriers between an idea and a finished product, Replit empowers individuals, teams, and enterprises to innovate faster and take on greater scope. 

Agent 3 is a breakthrough in autonomous software development.

  • Agent 3 is a breakthrough in autonomous software development, where it can bring ideas to life with minimal user interaction.
  • Agent 3 is the first agent on the market that can work like a true teammate. Agent 1 could only work for 2 minutes, while Agent 2 worked for up to 20 minutes, and now Agent 3 can work for up to 200 minutes, tackling human-level tasks.
  • Agent 3 can test and fix its code, constantly improving a user’s application behind the scenes. Replit’s proprietary testing system is up to 3x faster and 10x cheaper compared to computer-use models.
  • Agent 3 feels like a real developer, where it will periodically decide to test itself. Users will be able to see the agent’s browser as it clicks around the app, checking buttons, forms, APIs, data sources etc — confirming every part of an app works as intended.

Rendezvous Robotics Raises Pre-Seed Round with Former SpaceX, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, and Nokia Team to Build Space Infrastructure

With two orbital demonstrations completed, Rendezvous will advance its 5th-generation TESSERAE in-space assembly system on the ISS in 2026.

  • Co-founded by Dr. Ariel Ekblaw, inventor of TESSERAE at MIT and founder of the Aurelia Institute, together with Phil Frank, an experienced technology executive, and Joe Landon, an experienced space executive.
  • Flat-packed, modular systems autonomously assemble scalable infrastructure directly in orbit — solving the bottleneck rockets can’t.
  • $3M Pre-seed funding supports team expansion and transition from demonstrations to large-scale platforms for national security, commerce and exploration.

GOLDEN, Colo., Sept. 10, 2025 — Rendezvous Robotics, a breakthrough space infrastructure company pioneering modular, autonomous in-orbit assembly, today announced the close of its Pre-Seed round and emergence from stealth. Its patented TESSERAE technology was invented at MIT by Dr. Ariel Ekblaw, incubated at the Aurelia Institute, and spun out as Rendezvous co-founded by Ekblaw alongside Phil Frank and Joe Landon. The leadership team brings experience from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, and Nokia — spanning aerospace, telecom, and advanced technology — to enable the first-of-its-kind development of large-scale infrastructure built in orbit.

For more than six decades, space infrastructure has been limited by what can be folded up to fit inside rocket fairings. Rendezvous is redefining what’s possible by launching modular tiles to assemble systems and infrastructure in space. Its patented flat-packed modular tiles and autonomous swarm robotics assemble directly in orbit using electromagnetic formation flying. The autonomous modules dock, correct mistakes, and can reconfigure over time — creating infrastructure beyond what is currently available: scalable, reconfigurable, and resilient platforms for national security, commerce and exploration.

“The ISS is about the size of a four-bedroom house, costing over $100 billion to build,” said Phil Frank, Co-Founder and CEO of Rendezvous. “It’s a remarkable achievement, but if we’re truly going to scale in space, we need a better way to build.

“It’s time to profoundly scale up our ambitions in orbit. We’re launching a new paradigm for in-space construction,” said Dr. Ariel Ekblaw, Co-Founder of Rendezvous. “This technology makes more room for humanity — space for science, for nations, for life itself.”

The system builds on years of research, testing and demonstrations – from parabolic flights to Blue Origin’s New Shepard, to two missions aboard the International Space Station (ISS) with NASA support. Having proven performance in orbit, Rendezvous is now advancing toward large-scale systems designed to self-assemble, self-correct, and endure in the harshest space environments.

“No one has done this before — intelligent assembly in orbit, proven in space and now ready to scale,” said Joe Landon, Co-Founder and President of Rendezvous. “This is the technology that will enable antennas larger than football fields, reconfigurable systems for defense, orbital solar farms, and even data centers in space. Launch opened access to space; Rendezvous is building what comes next.”

Rendezvous has secured $3M in pre-seed funding led by Aurelia Foundry and 8090 Industries, with participation from ATX Venture Partners, Mana Ventures, and a group of other significant angel investors. This initial raise fuels team expansion and accelerates the transition from proven demonstrations to large-scale orbital platforms. The company expects to share additional funding details in the coming weeks.

Looking ahead, Rendezvous will demonstrate its 5th-generation technology on the ISS in early 2026 — its third orbital demonstration and a milestone toward building large mission-specific systems and infrastructure directly in space.

About Rendezvous Robotics

Rendezvous builds space infrastructure using modular, autonomous systems that assemble in orbit. Its patented TESSERAE technology enables scalable, reconfigurable, and resilient infrastructure in space — serving national security, commercial and civil markets. Flight-tested in orbit, Rendezvous is advancing from demonstrations to large-scale orbital systems. Invented at MIT, incubated at the Aurelia Institute, and validated in orbit, Rendezvous is defining how humanity builds in space.

STANDARD FLEET SECURES $13M SERIES A TO POWER MIXED-FLEET CONNECTIVITY, LAUNCHES EXPANDED DIGITAL KEY PLATFORM

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2025 — Standard Fleet, a fleet management platform for the connected-vehicle era, has raised $13 million in Series A funding and expanded its hardware-free Digital Key product.

The funding round was led by Nova Threshold, with participation from WEX Venture Capital, SNR, Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, Salil Deshpande of Uncorrelated Ventures and Apoorv Bhargava, founder of WeaveGrid. Returning investors include Burst Capital, Canvas Ventures, Liquid2, Night Capital, Olive Capital, UP2398 and Danny Wen.

Most new vehicles come off the assembly line with embedded connectivity, but the majority of fleet management systems still rely on hardware and manual processes. Standard Fleet eliminates that problem by connecting directly to a vehicle with a system that supports more than 30 automakers, covering EVs, hybrids and internal combustion engines.

Aggregating over 1,000 data points, Standard Fleet is the first fleet management platform to combine telematics with digital key access and payments for rental, rideshare, leasing, insurance and service fleets. That means no installation delays or additional device costs.

“Our platform connects directly to the vehicle itself, so operators can scale faster, control access in real time, and streamline operations across diverse vehicle types without costly or time-consuming installs,” said David Hodge, founder and CEO of Standard Fleet. “We’re helping fleets address operational challenges, including the thousands of hours spent annually just managing keys and hardware.”

For fleets with existing hardware, Standard Fleet can integrate with leading third-party providers, which is common for vehicles manufactured before 2018. The platform is designed to be flexible, supporting both connected vehicles and those that still rely on traditional telematics devices.

Digital Key: Instant Access, Zero Hardware

Standard Fleet’s Digital Key gives fleet operators the ability to grant instant, remote vehicle access with no hardware installs or key handoffs in less than 60 seconds, even without cell service or WiFi. Operators can issue, revoke or schedule access via a secure link, with role-based permissions and full audit trails for control and accountability.

The Bluetooth-enabled solution delivers instant, secure vehicle access and has already powered more than 75,000 trips with existing Standard Fleet EV customers. With this launch, Digital Key is now available to new fleet customers and mixed fleets, including EVs, hybrids and internal combustion vehicles.

“Standard Fleet has been instrumental in helping us scale our operations across multiple markets. Digital Key has saved our team countless hours by streamlining vehicle turnaround and empowering us to confidently manage a 2,500+ vehicle fleet,” said Henok Menas, chief marketing officer, DriveWhip. “Paired with fleet dashboards, remote commands and vehicle health alerts, the platform helps keep our operation running seamlessly. The shift from reactive to proactive management has been a major boost to our efficiency and productivity.”

Standard Fleet’s Digital Key is the only solution on the market combining digital access with integrated payments and telematics. It automates payments for EV charging, tolls, rental extensions and other fees, enabling daily payouts to providers and instant access revocation for nonpayment.

“Standard Fleet is bringing a new solution to fleet management by embracing vehicle connectivity and data, not ignoring it,” said David Klein, head of WEX Venture Capital. “By removing complexity and giving fleets real-time control, they are giving fleets the tools to scale quickly, addressing a critical need in a rapidly evolving market. They are a tremendous addition to our growing portfolio of innovative companies across mobility and the energy transition.”

According to a 2024 report by ResearchAndMarkets, the global fleet management systems market is projected to grow from $24.6 billion in 2023 to $71.7 billion by 2030, driven by EV adoption and connected vehicle data. Standard Fleet is uniquely positioned as a next-generation, OEM-agnostic solution designed to help rental, rideshare, leasing, insurance and service fleets scale efficiently in this rapidly growing sector.
