Due diligence on interval funds helps advisors navigate private markets with greater confidence, clarity, and risk awareness

BERWYN, Pa., July 16, 2026 — Envestnet, the leading Adaptive WealthTech company, has released its first list of research-approved interval funds, which have undergone the firm’s rigorous due diligence process by the manager research team at Envestnet PMC. This marks an important expansion of Envestnet’s alternative investment capabilities.

Not only are a growing list of interval funds available through Envestnet’s Unified Managed Account (UMA) platform, but the firm’s manager research team will cover and selectively expand an approved list of interval funds, just as it does for separately managed accounts (SMAs), mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and fund strategist portfolios. Advisors now have access to private market investments and independent research which can help them evaluate interval funds directly within the Envestnet ecosystem.

Envestnet first announced the accessibility of what would become a growing list of interval funds through its UMA platform in March 2026.  As part of this offering, the firm provides account administration, trading, rebalancing, and tax management capabilities. Building on this milestone, Envestnet PMC has undertaken the same structured due diligence process for evaluating interval funds as it does for other investment vehicles. The resulting research helps advisors better understand manager quality, portfolio construction, liquidity constraints, valuation methodologies, expenses, and risk/return expectations before committing client capital to funds that merit PMC research coverage. Access to the approved list of interval fund names is available to advisors at no additional cost.

“Interval funds are a relatively new investment vehicle wrapper, and advisors and investors placing money into these products for private markets exposure understandably need assurances that everything looks good, and that risks or concerns are addressed,” said Todd Rais, Head of Investment Products and Services at Envestnet. “Private markets can offer attractive income and diversification benefits, but manager selection matters immensely. Unlike public markets, where performance differences between managers can be relatively narrow, private market returns can vary significantly from one manager to another. We can provide value by helping advisors identify managers with a higher potential to outperform their peers while understanding the risks – empowering them to make more informed decisions.”

Cambridge Associates data^[i] shows performance between top-quartile and bottom-quartile private equity managers can differ by approximately 12.9 percentage points, nearly nine times the 1.5 percentage-point dispersion observed in public equities, highlighting why manager selection is one of the most important drivers of private market outcomes. With this in mind, the PMC due diligence process begins with an initial review of an interval fund manager’s minimum track record and asset levels, followed by more in-depth analysis and monitoring which encompasses on-site visits, annual questionnaires, and periodic research notes. The team investigates a manager’s fees, sourcing, valuation, deal flow, and other relevant factors. Team members then debate and vote on the final analysis report for each manager.

“It’s important you invest with the right manager if you’re going to invest in private markets, but most interval funds have short track records. Our deep-dive analysis examines the longer track records of managers and gives advisors the confidence to know what to expect in terms of liquidity restraints and risk/return expectations before they commit client dollars,” said Dana D’Auria, CFA, Co-Chief Investment Officer and Group President, Envestnet Solutions. “We are making private markets easier to implement operationally, but just as importantly, easier to evaluate.”

More than 80% of companies with revenues exceeding $100 million are privately held^[ii]. Investor demand for access to private market exposure continues to grow, as Cerulli data^[iii] shows advisor allocations to less than fully liquid private market strategies are expected to rise from roughly $1.9 trillion last year to $3.7 trillion by 2029. At the same time, the interval fund market has expanded rapidly, from roughly $75 billion in 2020 to approximately 160 funds representing more than $300 billion in assets today^[iv]. The confluence of these factors underscores the crucial need for independent due diligence, manager evaluation, and ongoing monitoring.

Envestnet’s goal is to help advisors access, implement, research, trade, and monitor private market investments through a single, integrated experience that offers the same discipline and oversight they expect from traditional investments.

Interval funds expose investors to liquidity risk. Due to their structure, an investor may only redeem shares during scheduled repurchase windows and may only be able to sell a certain percentage of the shares requested to be repurchased. As a result, this type of product may not be suitable for investors with short-term investing goals or a need for frequent or immediate liquidity. Investors should refer to the fund’s prospectus for specific information about redemptions, repurchase offers, fee structures, and the material risks associated with this type of product.

SJF Ventures invests in EdTech company that uses AI to observe real-world performance and deliver expert feedback at a scale human faculty can’t match

NEW YORK, July 16, 2026 — DeweyLearn, the multimodal AI platform that understands human learning at scale, announced the company secured $5 million in an oversubscribed Series A funding round, led by SJF Ventures with participation from Catalysis Capital, Morningside, and Owl Ventures, among others. DeweyLearn’s AI combines audio, video, and learning data with domain and learning science knowledge to deliver deep insights into instruction and learning in both physical and online settings across clinical and healthcare education, higher education, workforce learning, and K-12.

In a world in which what you know is less important than what you can do, skills evaluation is rapidly moving toward performance-based assessments. Trained on institutions’ specific curriculums and domain expertise, DeweyLearn watches real learning in action and delivers actionable, expert-level insights at a scale that would be impossible to achieve with human assessment alone. For its innovative multimodal AI, DeweyLearn recently won the 2026 ASU+GSV Cup, selected from more than 3,000 companies as the top education technology startup in the world.

“Human expertise has been a limited resource for our entire history,” said Luyen Chou, co-founder and CEO at DeweyLearn. “With multimodal AI, DeweyLearn can give an aspiring chef real-time feedback on her knife technique from the world’s greatest chefs. It can assess the effectiveness of clinical therapists, as well as allow nursing students to receive real-time feedback in simulated hospitals. We’re making the kind of expert feedback that once required a master watching over your shoulder available to every learner. DeweyLearn represents a paradigm shift in how we assess skills and apply human expertise at scale in areas as varied as healthcare, hospitality, and IT.”

Any use case that requires a human expert to see, hear, and understand in order to assess student performance, DeweyLearn can do as well, if not better, than a human, at scale.

At Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, DeweyLearn has graded more than 20,000 student homework submissions, serving as a first review for instructor approval or final adjustment, saving hundreds of instructor gradings hours to date and giving aspiring chefs immediate feedback. This time saved on assignment reviews has allowed instructors more time for one-on-one student support and interaction.

DeweyLearn is being used to enhance student assessment across diverse domains. As Katy Genseke, Psy.D., Head of Clinical Product at Riverside Insights, explains, “Riverside, a provider of specialty assessments to students, is working with DeweyLearn to explore new approaches to its assessment offerings to improve efficiency and effectiveness.”

The platform is also used in clinical training. The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is scaling continuing education for therapists working with developmental and complex trauma.

“SJF is focused on enabling better learning outcomes and career opportunities for all,” said Arrun Kapoor, Managing Director at SJF Ventures. “We were wowed by the transformative potential of DeweyLearn’s approach to applying multi-modal AI for education and confident that the founders have both the industry experience and AI expertise to execute on that potential. We’re proud to partner with DeweyLearn to help instructors and learners master the science of education.”

DeweyLearn was founded by Luyen Chou, a longtime EdTech leader who served as Chief Learning Officer at 2U, Chief Product Officer at Pearson, and founded The School at Columbia University, and Dirk Liebich, an expert in applied AI, data analytics, and predictive analytics. The company is named after John Dewey, the philosopher and educational reformer who encouraged Chou’s grandmother to study teaching at the University of Chicago during his trip to China from 1919 to 1921.

“DeweyLearn is building a model of human learning informed by real cycles of observing, intervening, and measuring across diverse learning domains,” said Dirk Liebich, co-founder and CTO at DeweyLearn. “Our novel approach quickly builds a knowledge graph tailored to each customer, like a knife cut technique or what makes a student chef successful. But, in doing so, we’re also creating a meta knowledge graph of how people learn. Much like Google Earth, we’re building a world model of learning that empirically understands learning at an action level and can apply the insights at scale.”

NICOSIE, Chypre, 16 juillet 2026 — Xryma Plc (la « Société ») (Euronext Paris : XRY) ; (ISIN : CY0200861017), un groupe de technologies bancaires proposant des services réglementés d’open banking transfrontaliers, des services bancaires transactionnels internationaux et des services de paiement en temps réel au sein de l’UE et au Royaume-Uni, tout en fournissant de façon indépendante des logiciels et des technologies bancaires à des banques et institutions financières (IF) tierces, a le plaisir d’annoncer que son autorité compétente, la Commission chypriote des valeurs mobilières et des changes (« CySEC »), a approuvé le prospectus établi dans le cadre de l’admission des actions ordinaires de la Société à la négociation sur le marché réglementé de la Bourse Euronext Paris, la négociation devant débuter à l’ouverture du marché le 24 juillet 2026. Le prospectus va désormais faire l’objet d’un certificat d’approbation, dit « passeport », en France, via l’Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).

Sous réserve de l’approbation par Euronext Paris de l’admission de Xryma Plc à la cote, 110 079 450 actions ordinaires seront cotées en euros (€) sous le symbole boursier « XRY ». Si les conditions de clôture habituelles et d’obtention des autorisations définitives sont remplies, la date prévue du premier jour de cotation à la Bourse d’Euronext Paris a été fixée au 24 juillet 2026.

L’admission prendra la forme d’une cotation technique (directe). Aucune nouvelle action ne sera émise, aucune action existante n’est proposée à la vente par la Société, et aucun capital ne sera levé dans le cadre de cette admission.

Depuis sa création, Xryma Plc a mis en place une plateforme de paiement réglementée et complète, rentable depuis sept ans sans interruption, qui simplifie la manière dont les commerçants acceptent, transfèrent et règlent les paiements, via plusieurs canaux de paiement, par le biais d’une connexion unique. Cette introduction en bourse, prévue prochainement, marque une étape importante dans le développement de la Société et témoigne de l’envergure que le groupe Xryma a atteint en tant qu’entreprise de technologie bancaire réglementée et basée sur les infrastructures.

Le groupe Xryma applique un modèle économique évolutif qui a généré un chiffre d’affaires de 53,4 millions d’euros au titre de l’exercice 2025, basé sur les frais et les transactions (autres revenus compris). Au cours de la même période, le groupe Xryma a traité un volume de transactions d’environ 4,0 milliards d’euros, tandis que sa filiale de services logiciels Probanx® a traité un volume de 206,7 milliards d’euros en solutions de SaaS pour le compte de banques et d’institutions financières clientes, ce volume étant monétisé par le biais de licences logicielles plutôt que par des commissions sur les transactions de produits réglementés.

Takis Taoushanis, président non exécutif de Xryma Plc, a déclaré :

« L’approbation du prospectus de notre Société en vue de son admission à la cotation sur Euronext Paris marque une étape importante pour notre entreprise. Le Conseil d’administration a supervisé un processus de préparation rigoureux, et les principes de transparence et de gouvernance d’un marché réglementé européen de premier plan sont conformes aux normes auxquelles le groupe Xryma se conforme déjà. »

« Cette évolution devrait renforcer notre position sur le marché, soutenir l’expansion continue de notre portefeuille de produits et créer une valeur à long terme pour nos clients, nos partenaires, nos collaborateurs et nos actionnaires. Cela souligne également le rôle croissant que joue Chypre en tant que pôle d’affaires international bénéficiant d’une portée mondiale, soutenu par un écosystème de services professionnels permettant à des entreprises bien gérées d’opérer et de se développer sur les marchés internationaux. »

Nikogiannis (John) Karantzis, PDG du groupe et directeur général de Xryma Plc, a déclaré :

« Xryma Plc effectue des transferts d’argent via les banques centrales, de banque à banque, par l’intermédiaire de banques correspondantes, via le réseau ACH, par monnaie électronique, par carte, en espèces et via des rails de paiement en cryptomonnaie. La Société vient à bout d’un grand nombre de défis posés par le paysage mondial des paiements, aujourd’hui fragmenté. S’appuyant sur un écosystème propriétaire, réglementé et complet, développé au cours des 15 dernières années, Xryma Plc est bien plus qu’une simple société de paiement. Elle est devenue une entreprise spécialisée dans les infrastructures financières de pointe qui permet aux entreprises d’accepter, de transférer et de régler des paiements à l’échelle mondiale via de multiples canaux de paiement, le tout sur une plateforme unique et unifiée. »

« Je me réjouis pour la Société et ses actionnaires de cette introduction en bourse imminente sur Euronext Paris, qui figure parmi les cinq premiers groupes boursiers mondiaux et est considéré comme une « bourse de premier plan ». Cette admission devrait permettre d’ouvrir davantage notre registre des actionnaires à d’autres institutions financières, qui représentent déjà 25 % de notre registre, ainsi qu’à des investisseurs du secteur technologique partageant les mêmes valeurs, capables d’apprécier la proposition de valeur unique de Xryma. »

Motifs d’admission

L’admission des actions de Xryma Plc à la cotation sur Euronext Paris devrait :

• Accroître la notoriété du groupe Xryma et de ses marques
• Améliorer au fil du temps la liquidité des actions de la Société
• Renforcer l’accès de la Société aux marchés financiers afin de soutenir sa croissance future
• Renforcer la transparence de la Société et de ses filiales, tout en soutenant les partenariats nouveaux et existants

La direction générale de Xryma Plc souhaite remercier la CySEC, l’AMF, Euronext Paris ainsi que tous les conseillers qui l’ont soutenue lors du processus d’introduction en bourse transfrontalière, notamment Aldebaran Advisors (Paris), All Invest Securities (Paris), CDB Global Securities (Nicosie), Morgan Lewis (Paris) et Chrysses Demetriades (Limassol). Cette introduction en bourse, attendue, constitue un précédent important pour les entreprises chypriotes qui souhaitent obtenir une cotation similaire sur le marché français.

Backed by Notable Capital, leading cybersecurity funds and a coalition of top CISOs and founders, Beacon achieves 300% ARR growth in H1 2026 as enterprises across financial services, insurance, and technology replace legacy security architectures with the agentic platform to run and build AI-native security.

NEW YORK, July 16, 2026 — Beacon Security, the platform for agentic cybersecurity work, today announced the successful closing of a $13 million seed funding round led by Notable Capital with participation from Holly Ventures, AlphaDrive Ventures, SVCI, Jefferies Family Office and over 60 founders and CISOs, including founders from Talon, Descope, Gem Security, Dig Security and Cider Security. This funding will help accelerate Beacon’s vision to give modern security teams the intelligent data layer they deserve, so that both human and AI agents can defend their organizations more effectively.

“The acceleration of AI agents in the enterprise is creating a distinct need for a legible context layer for cyber defenders, which is fueling a fundamentally new security architecture,” said Gal Tal-Hochberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Beacon. “We built Beacon to solve these challenges by providing the trusted data layer that allows organizations to deploy security agents compliantly and effectively. With this investment, we are transforming security for native AI usage to drive real-time posture, detection and response, deep hunting, and operational analysis of security estates at unprecedented efficiency, scale, and complexity.”

Beacon is a platform for AI-native security that creates an environment for AI agents and security teams to autonomously prevent, detect, and defend, and for humans to run, control, build, and analyze. Defenders can move faster than attackers with Beacon, which provides critical context, history, and real-time visibility.

Beacon’s key capabilities include:

• Best-of-breed data operations: Beacon’s Data Layer fuses telemetry across vendors, routes clean data to external systems, pre-resolves entities, and automates normalization and enrichment at scale, so AI agents and human analysts always reason on a clean, complete, and cost-optimized picture. The platform’s coverage and posture monitoring continuously map sources against threats and compliance, flagging gaps before they can be exploited.
• Agentic Cybersecurity Work Platform: Beacon’s platform allows defenders to leverage agents for a broad range of tasks, from detection engineering, investigation support, posture, shadow AI analysis, and more. By providing an open harness fit for cybersecurity tasks in enterprises and connected to all relevant context, defenders can execute agentic workflows or build their own.
• Production-ready security agents (Beacon Agents): A growing library of specialized agents purpose-built for the work defenders do every day, tuned by offensive-security and nation-state veterans and wired into Beacon’s context layer, these agents catch what other stacks miss, from cross-source lateral movement to AI-fast attacks and novel TTPs, so teams get outcomes out of the box without building from scratch or locking into a closed stack. More agents are coming soon, including shadow-AI analysis, alert triage and investigation.

Beacon has achieved rapid adoption across dozens of enterprises since launch, spanning industries from fintech to healthcare to hospitality, with ARR growing over 300% in H1 2026. Organizations are moving quickly to deploy Beacon because their infrastructure was not built for a world where AI is both the attack surface and the adversary. This momentum spans high-growth technology companies and private equity-backed organizations alike, all confronting the same reality: AI is accelerating threats faster than human-scale security teams can respond, existing infrastructure lacks the intelligence to keep pace, and the cost of falling behind is no longer theoretical.

“We are growing fast, and Beacon lets our security data keep pace,” said Olindo Verillo, Director, Detection and Response, Cerebras. “It gives us the agility to evolve on our own terms, and it has become part of how we run security day to day, increasingly with our agents doing that data work autonomously. Beacon is a core part of how we are building security for what comes next.”

Founded in 2024 by veterans of elite intelligence, offensive security, and enterprise-scale data infrastructure, including Gal Tal-Hochberg, who previously founded HiredScore (sold to Workday for $520M), alongside co-founders Or Mattatia and Iddo Israely, who bring backgrounds in nation-state cyber defense, Beacon gives modern security teams the foundation to defend with both human judgment and autonomous agents.

This funding follows the company rapidly meeting key milestones, most notably the launch of Beacon’s agentic data layer. Positioned between telemetry sources and downstream tools, this release automates the normalization and enrichment of data, making it faster, more adaptive, and less dependent on engineering effort. Beacon is already trusted by Fortune 500 security teams across critical, highly regulated industries, helping them close coverage gaps, detect threats that other stacks miss, and defend at the speed and scale that modern threats demand.

“Every CISO knows the real bottleneck isn’t detection; it’s trust in your own data. That problem doesn’t go away when you add agents; it gets less forgiving,” said Oren Yunger, Managing Partner, Notable Capital and Beacon board member. “The data-trust gap is exactly what Beacon is bridging in the AI era, bringing context to the security teams and their agentic workforce.”

About Beacon
Beacon is the agentic security platform that security teams run on and build on. Trusted by Fortune 500 teams across critical, highly regulated industries, Beacon gives defenders the clean, contextualized data, specialized security agents, and open harness they need to detect threats faster, close coverage gaps, and run security at a fraction of traditional costs.

Funding Positions Company for Commercial Launch of XenFi™, Continued Innovation of Wireless Medical Devices and Technologies and its AI-Enabled Physical Intelligence™ Platform

Expands Board of Directors with Appointment of Financial Executive Linda Vega

DRAPER, Utah, July 16, 2026 — Xenter, Inc., the world’s first TechMed™ company that has developed a healthcare intelligence platform for diagnostic evaluation and wireless medical devices that captures Physical Intelligence™ (PI) data over the XenFi™ wireless ecosystem, today announced the successful close on June 30^th of its Series B financing, raising a total of $58.25 million.

The financing attracted participation from existing shareholders, prominent family offices, and healthcare investors who share the Xenter vision of transforming the way healthcare data is captured, connected, and utilized in hospitals and physicians’ offices. The proceeds will support commercial launch, continued development of Xenter’s proprietary technologies, manufacturing expansion, clinical and regulatory initiatives, and the acceleration of the company’s integrated TechMed platform.

“The closing of Series B strongly validates Xenter’s wireless Physical Intelligence platform and enables the first commercial launch of our diagnostics business unit and the initiation of planned clinical testing of the Guru™ dual sensor physiology guidewire in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedures,” said Richard J. Linder, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xenter. “This financing represents more than capital, it reflects the confidence our investors have in our long-term vision to fundamentally change how healthcare technologies communicate, generate data, and improve patient outcomes.”

Richard J. Linder continued, “Healthcare has historically been built around disconnected devices and computers on wheels with fragmented information systems. Xenter is building an integrated intelligence platform designed to connect medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, and AI into a seamless ecosystem that enables better clinical decision-making while continually ensuring patients control their healthcare data.”

Xenter also announced the appointment of Linda Vega to its Board of Directors. Linda brings decades of executive leadership in banking, finance, corporate governance, and strategic capital planning. A former executive with Wachovia Bank, Linda has advised organizations ranging from emerging growth companies to multinational enterprises on financial strategy, capital formation, governance, and long-term value creation.

“It’s a great honor to be appointed to Xenter’s Board of Directors, a board that consists of some of the most experienced and legendary leaders in life sciences and medicine. I hope to bring my experience in business, finance and accounting to an already world-class board of directors,” said Linda Vega, Xenter’s newest board member.

“Linda’s experience guiding organizations through periods of significant growth and capital deployment will provide tremendous value as Xenter continues its next phase of expansion,” said Mr. Linder. “Her financial expertise and strategic perspective will strengthen our Board as we continue executing our long-term vision.”

Juli 2026 — Xryma Plc (das „Unternehmen”) (Euronext Paris: XRY); (ISIN: CY0200861017), eine Banktech-Gruppe, die regulierte grenzüberschreitende Open-Banking-Dienste, internationales Transaktionsbankgeschäft sowie Echtzeit-Zahlungsdienste in der EU und im Vereinigten Königreich anbietet und darüber hinaus unabhängig Bankensoftware und -technologie an Drittbanken und Finanzinstitute (FIs) vertreibt, freut sich bekannt zu geben, dass ihre zuständige Aufsichtsbehörde, die zyprische Wertpapier- und Börsenaufsichtsbehörde („CySEC”), den Prospekt genehmigt hat, der im Zusammenhang mit der Zulassung der Stammaktien des Unternehmens zum Handel am regulierten Markt der Euronext Paris Stock Exchange erstellt wurde; der Handel wird voraussichtlich bei Börsenbeginn am 24. Juli 2026 aufgenommen. Der Prospekt wird nun über die Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) nach Frankreich weitergeleitet.

Vorbehaltlich der Zustimmung von Euronext Paris zur Zulassung von Xryma Plc zur Notierung werden 110.079.450 Stammaktien in Euro (€) unter dem Tickersymbol „XRY” notiert. Vorbehaltlich der Erfüllung der üblichen Abschlussbedingungen und der endgültigen Genehmigungen wurde der 24. Juli 2026 als voraussichtlicher erster Handelstag an der Euronext Paris festgelegt.

Die Zulassung erfolgt in Form einer technischen (direkten) Notierung. Es werden keine neuen Aktien ausgegeben, keine bestehenden Aktien werden von der Gesellschaft zum Verkauf angeboten, und im Zusammenhang mit der Zulassung wird kein Kapital aufgenommen.

Seit ihrer Gründung hat Xryma Plc eine umfassende, seit sieben Jahren kontinuierlich profitable und regulierte Zahlungsplattform aufgebaut, die Händlern über eine einzige Verbindung hinweg die Annahme, den Transfer und die Abwicklung von Zahlungen über mehrere Zahlungskanäle hinweg vereinfacht. Die erwartete Notierung stellt einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in der Entwicklung des Unternehmens dar und spiegelt die Größe wider, die die Xryma Group als infrastrukturorientiertes, reguliertes Banktech-Unternehmen erreicht hat.

Die Xryma Group betreibt ein skalierbares Geschäftsmodell, das im Geschäftsjahr 25 gebührenbasierte, transaktionsgetriebene Umsätze in Höhe von 53,4 Millionen Euro erwirtschaftete (einschließlich sonstiger Erträge). Im gleichen Zeitraum wickelte die Xryma Group ein eigenes Verarbeitungsvolumen von rund 4,0 Milliarden Euro ab, während ihre Tochtergesellschaft für Probanx®-Softwaredienste im Auftrag von Kundenbanken und Finanzinstituten ein SaaS-Volumen von 206,7 Milliarden Euro verarbeitete, das durch Softwarelizenzen und nicht durch regulierte Produkttransaktionsgebühren monetarisiert wurde.

Takis Taoushanis, nicht geschäftsführender Vorstandsvorsitzender von Xryma Plc, sagte:

„Die Genehmigung des Prospekts unseres Unternehmens für die Zulassung zum Handel an der Euronext Paris stellt einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in unserer Unternehmensgeschichte dar. Der Vorstand hat einen strengen Vorbereitungsprozess begleitet, und die Transparenz- und Governance-Standards eines führenden regulierten europäischen Marktes stehen im Einklang mit den Standards, nach denen die Xryma-Gruppe bereits arbeitet.”

„Diese Entwicklung wird voraussichtlich unsere Marktposition stärken, den weiteren Ausbau unseres Produktportfolios unterstützen und langfristigen Wert für unsere Kunden, Partner, Mitarbeiter und Aktionäre schaffen. Zudem unterstreicht sie die wachsende Rolle Zyperns als internationaler Wirtschaftsstandort mit globaler Reichweite, gestützt durch ein Ökosystem professioneller Dienstleistungen, das es gut geführten Unternehmen ermöglicht, auf internationalen Märkten tätig zu sein und zu wachsen.”

Nikogiannis (John) Karantzis, Group Chief Executive Officer und Geschäftsführer der Xryma Plc, erklärte:

„Xryma Plc wickelt Geldtransfers über Zentralbanken, von Bank zu Bank, über Korrespondenzbanken, das ACH-Netzwerk, E-Geld, Karten, Bargeld und Stablecoin-Kanäle ab. Das Unternehmen löst viele der Herausforderungen der heutigen fragmentierten globalen Zahlungslandschaft. Aufbauend auf einem proprietären, regulierten Full-Stack-Ökosystem, das in den letzten 15 Jahren entwickelt wurde, ist Xryma Plc mehr als nur ein Zahlungsdienstleister. Es hat sich zu einem Unternehmen für tiefgreifende Finanzinfrastruktur entwickelt, das es Unternehmen ermöglicht, weltweit über mehrere Zahlungskanäle auf einer einzigen, einheitlichen Plattform Geld anzunehmen, zu bewegen und abzuwickeln.”

„Ich freue mich für das Unternehmen und seine Aktionäre über die bevorstehende Notierung an der Euronext Paris, die zu den fünf weltweit führenden Börsengruppen zählt und als ‚Premiere Exchange’ gilt. Diese Zulassung dürfte unser Aktienregister weiter für weitere Finanzinstitute öffnen, die bereits 25 % unseres Registers ausmachen, sowie für gleichgesinnte Technologieinvestoren, die das einzigartige Wertversprechen von Xryma zu schätzen wissen.”

Gründe für die Zulassung

Die Zulassung der Aktien von Xryma Plc zum Handel an der Euronext Paris wird voraussichtlich:

• den Bekanntheitsgrad der Xryma-Gruppe und ihrer Marken steigern
• die Liquidität der Aktien des Unternehmens im Laufe der Zeit verbessern
• den Zugang des Unternehmens zu den Kapitalmärkten stärken, um das zukünftige Wachstum zu unterstützen
• die Transparenz des Unternehmens und seiner Tochtergesellschaften erhöhen und damit neue sowie bestehende Partnerschaften fördern

Die Geschäftsleitung von Xryma Plc bedankt sich bei der CySEC, der AMF, Euronext Paris und allen Beratern, die den grenzüberschreitenden Börsengang unterstützt haben, darunter Aldebaran Advisors (Paris), All Invest Securities (Paris), CDB Global Securities (Nikosia), Morgan Lewis (Paris) und Chrysses Demetriades (Limassol). Die erwartete Notierung schafft einen wichtigen Präzedenzfall für zyprische Unternehmen, die eine ähnliche Notierung am französischen Hauptmarkt anstreben.

Oversubscribed Final Close Lands 42% Above October Announcement for Energy-Efficiency Coatings Maker

CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., July 16, 2026 — NxLite, the manufacturer of air-stable, energy-efficient coatings for glass and polymeric substrates, today announced the final close of its Series A financing, a $3.5 million debt facility from RSF Social Finance, and the appointment of technology supply chain leader Erin Sawyer to the board of directors.

These moves signal deepening conviction in NxLite’s manufacturing and commercial trajectory.

The first close of the round was announced in October 2025 at $9.2 million. The final close brings the Series A to $13.1 million, oversubscribing the company’s original $10 million target, with capital arriving over a 120-day second-close window from new and existing investors.

The round was led by Crabtree Lane Alt, LLC, with new investment from VoLo Earth Ventures and continued participation from Earth Foundry, MUUS, New Climate Ventures, ACT Venture Partners, and strategic investors in the door, window, and building industries.

Alongside the equity round, NxLite secured a $3.5 million debt facility from RSF Social Finance, providing additional non-dilutive capital to support manufacturing scale-up.

Since the first close, NxLite has been adding capacity and enhancing its full-scale manufacturing capability at its Advanced Innovation & Manufacturing (AIM) Center in Canton, Michigan, while adding partnerships with major players in multiple use cases.

“We are grateful to attract the capital and the caliber of leader joining our board in what can be a difficult financial market,” said David Mather, Chairman and CEO of NxLite. “Investors who have watched us de-risk manufacturing, secure commercial agreements, and execute against our plan are leaning in further, with both their balance sheets and their time.”

“NxLite has built a rare combination: validated technology, demonstrated manufacturing, and real customers under contract,” said Jason Blumberg, Managing Partner at Earth Foundry and NxLite board member. “The company is positioned to capture a major opportunity in energy-efficient buildings, and the team has earned the conviction this round reflects.”

About New Board Member Erin Sawyer
Erin Sawyer is a Venture Partner at VoLo Earth Ventures, a climate technology firm investing across electricity, mobility, buildings, and industry. She previously served as Vice President of Supply Chain at Wrightspeed, leading the supply chain organization for electric powertrains in heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and as Group Manager of Core Technologies at Tesla, where she executed global sourcing strategies and drove cost reductions across the Model S and Model X platforms during their global scale-up.

“What stood out about NxLite was its operational maturity,” said Erin Sawyer. “They validated the technology, secured offtake agreements, and demonstrated production at full scale very early in the process. Companies that get the sequencing right are rare. I’m joining to help compress the timeline from here.”

LONDON, July 16, 2026 — Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is expanding the reach of its venture capital fund to support development of promising defense technologies in British and European markets. Lockheed Martin Ventures, the company’s $1 billion startup investment arm, is opening a London office with the goal of investing at least $100 million of its funding in the United Kingdom and Europe.

“We are reaching even deeper into the investing ecosystem, meeting our potential partners where they are,” said Chris Moran, vice president and general manager, Lockheed Martin Ventures. “Our presence will help us seize opportunities for investing earlier in the startup lifecycle, ensure technical interoperability with existing platforms, and better support our allied customers.”

The decision follows the largest boost in available capital in the fund’s history, when the company announced in April that it would boost investment capacity from $400 million to $1 billion. Using a portion of that enhanced funding capacity, Lockheed Martin Ventures Europe will accelerate the insertion of new technologies into defense technology — part of the company’s commitment to strengthen the transatlantic defense industrial base.

“We are looking to invest in technologies that complement the company’s national security capabilities and help advance solutions to meet current and future customer mission needs, while further strengthening the transatlantic defense industrial base,” said Dan Tenney, senior vice president of Global Business Development and Strategy. “We expect our investment strategy to evolve as technologies emerge and the startup environment matures in markets where we do business around the world.”

Why it Matters

• The decision by Lockheed Martin Ventures leverages rapid increases in venture capital investment, particularly in the United Kingdom and Europe.
• European customers increasingly seek sovereign capabilities, and as the world’s largest aerospace and defense company, Lockheed Martin is uniquely positioned to accelerate their development.
• The investments will help strengthen the defense industrial base and increase the resilience of our supply chain, generating economic benefits for the United States and our allies.
• Lockheed Martin Ventures has already invested in a number of promising companies in Europe, with more deals expected to close soon.

Facts and Figures

• Lockheed Martin Ventures is one of the most active and longest continuously operated Aerospace and Defense corporate venture capital firms in the United States. Since its founding it has matured 60 companies to become suppliers.
• Lockheed Martin Ventures was founded in 2007 with initial funding of $100 million.
• To date, it has invested more than $500 million in more than 120 companies, including several in European markets.
• Over the past two years alone, 25 companies have been added to the portfolio.

The Rockefeller Foundation-led impact investing collaboration with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation releases its 7 ^th annual report, showing impact investing remains a critical bridge for advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals amid cuts to official development assistance.

Since 2019, $30 million in catalytic capital has mobilized $1.05 billion in private investment — a 35x leverage ratio.

NEW YORK, July 16, 2026 — Amid sharp cuts to development assistance over the past year, The Rockefeller Foundation today released its annual Zero Gap Fund: 2025 State of the Portfolio report, highlighting the critical role of catalytic capital in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. As of December 2025, the Zero Gap Fund (ZGF or the Fund) had facilitated the mobilization of more than $1.05 billion—about a 35x leverage—in private finance across 12 high-impact investments spanning food and nutrition security, climate adaptation, healthcare access, U.S. jobs and more. To date, the Fund has fully committed $30 million, $28 million of which has been deployed, with four of its investments exited.

The Zero Gap Fund was launched in 2019 in partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to promote investment in scalable and innovative impact-driven investment solutions. The fund deploys patient, risk-tolerant, and flexible capital into promising financial strategies and mechanisms aimed at increasing large-scale private investment to advance the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were established in 2015 to bring countries together to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure global peace and prosperity by 2030.

“The Zero Gap Fund: 2025 State of the Portfolio report reinforces an important lesson: strategic, catalytic capital can unlock resources far beyond its size to empower vulnerable people,” said Slav Gatchev, Vice President of Innovative Finance at The Rockefeller Foundation. “At a time when many countries are slashing their foreign assistance budgets, the Zero Gap Fund shows how philanthropy and private capital can work together to create job opportunities, shore up climate resilience, and improve lives around the world. Building on our long history in impact investing, the Rockefeller Foundation is committed to working with partners to continue and expand this important work.”

“The Zero Gap Fund continues to demonstrate the power of catalytic capital to drive impact across sectors and geographies,” said Debra Schwartz, Managing Director for Impact Investments at MacArthur. “The fund’s innovative and scaled co-investment model allows more capital to be deployed rapidly and efficiently to impact-driven enterprises and funds around the world.”

ZGF was created to help close the financing gap to achieve the SDGs, which at the Fund’s creation was estimated at $2.5 trillion annually. The gap persists because public budgets, foreign aid, and developing country revenues cannot cover the need, preventing countries with fewer resources to invest in education, healthcare, renewable energy, or social protection. Last year, that gap widened significantly, now totaling more than $4 trillion annually, according to recent estimates from the United Nations.

Against this challenging backdrop, the results in this year’s Zero Gap Fund: 2025 State of the Portfolio show that impact investing remains a much-needed force for progress across a range of impact areas and that the ZGF offers a replicable model for closing the gap at scale. Through investments focused on underserved markets and communities, ZGF shows that private capital can play an important role in achieving the SDGs and help lift up millions of people in the United States and around the world.

ZGF’s eight open investments span eight regions, with several funds working across multiple geographies at once. Key examples through December 2025 include: 

• LeapFrog’s Emerging Consumer Fund III (Fund III) is a growth equity fund serving low-income consumers in Asia and Africa, incorporating a blended finance insurance product to mitigate tail-end risks. Fund III has supported more than 173,000 jobs and reached 361 million consumers – 345 million through financial services and 16 million healthcare consumers.
• Lightsmith’s CRAFT facility focuses on climate adaptation, mobilizing capital for innovative companies delivering technologies that build community resilience. CRAFT has helped provide 28 million liters of clean water and helped reduce 2.7 million metric tons of CO2e.
• Founders First Capital Partners (FFCP) is an alternative credit provider that uses revenue-based financing to grow underinvested service-based companies. FFCP has deployed $19.5 million in capital across 68 loans.
• Apis & Heritage’s Legacy Fund I finances the conversion of companies with majority low- and moderate-income workforces into employee-owned businesses using an employee-led buyout structure. Legacy Fund I has helped transition 6 businesses into 100% employee-owned, leading to more than 1,500 new employee owners.
• Seedstars International Ventures II (Fund II) invests in seed-stage tech-enabled startups across emerging and frontier markets and helps them scale. Fund II has committed $13.7 million across 56 companies, helping create more than 1,500 net new full-time jobs.
• Horizon Capital Growth Fund IV (HCGF IV) invests in innovative, export-oriented asset-light technology companies in Ukraine that are more resilient to volatile macro environments. HCGF IV has invested more than $120 million across six Ukraine-based companies, supporting more than 5,100 jobs.
• Blue Forest’s FRB Catalyst Facility leverages the public-private partnership structure of the Forest Resilience Bond to create a pooled, revolving investment facility that mobilizes capital to accelerate the financing of critical ecological restoration projects. FRB Catalyst Facility has begun protection efforts in 10 locations helping protect more than 31,000 acres of terrestrial ecosystems.
• Trailhead Capital Regeneration Fund I invests in early-stage businesses providing innovative, scalable, tech-enabled solutions for regenerative food and agriculture. Regeneration Fund I has invested in 30 companies, impacting 42.3 million acres of land and counting. 

The Rockefeller Foundation has long recognized the importance of mobilizing private sector capital for public good. It played a pivotal role in the origin of the impact investing field in 2007. That next year, the Foundation brought the impact investing industry into the mainstream by launching a $38 million initiative, Harnessing the Power of Impact Investing, which has since evolved into the Foundation’s Innovative Finance program. By 2015, the Innovative Finance program created the Zero Gap grant portfolio to provide seed funding to address the world’s most pressing challenges, as defined by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Today, The Rockefeller Foundation’s Innovative Finance team manages $100 million in active Program Related Investment commitments and has provided a total of $65 million of grant funding across the Zero Gap portfolio and climate finance.
