LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2026 — The LANY Group (LANY), a bicoastal strategic firm, today announced its total operational pivot to Authority Infrastructure with the launch of its Sovereign Omni suite. This comprehensive solution is designed to bridge the “Invisibility Gap” for elite brands, integrating Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) with high-stakes PR and technical entity architecture.

“In 2026, being found isn’t enough; you must be cited,” says Erin James Murphy, Founder of The LANY Group. “Whether it is a clinical protocol for a bio-hacking brand or the IRR of a Hedge Fund, accuracy is a terminal value. We are the only firm synthesizing LA’s narrative prestige with NY’s technical rigor to build a deterministic digital footprint that the machines—and the markets—trust.”

As the traditional search landscape transitions into an era of Answer Engines, 9-figure brands face a critical “Invisibility Gap.” The LANY Group’s new framework addresses the rising threat of AI hallucinations and the dilution of founder authority by hard-coding human genius into the global Knowledge Graph.

“Search is no longer about clicks; it’s about citations,” says Murphy. “In 2026, if an AI agent cannot verify your data as a deterministic fact, your brand effectively ceases to exist for the high-net-worth consumer. We are bridging the gap between LA’s narrative prestige and NY’s technical rigor to ensure our clients remain the definitive Source of Truth.”

The Four Pillars of Sovereignty

LANY’s strategic approach provides a unified defense and growth strategy for the Generative era:

1. AEO & GEO Architecture (The Machine Layer): Deploying proprietary Schema 3.0 and JSON-LD entity mapping to ensure brand data is technically optimized for Answer Engines. This creates a “Machine-Readable” identity that forces AI agents to verify and recommend the brand as a definitive authority.
2. Authoritative Asset Development (The Intelligence Layer): The engineering of high-stakes “Original Source” assets—including Articles, White Papers, Clinical Protocols, and Institutional Reports. These serve as the primary data points used to train Large Language Models (LLMs) and secure “Source of Truth” status.
3. High-Stakes PR & Validation Nodes (The Trust Layer): Securing placements in Tier-1 global media and podcasts to serve as high-authority “Validation Nodes.” These third-party citations feed AI trust-loops, ensuring innovations are cited as facts rather than hallucinations.
4. Sovereign Web Design & Data Sovereignty (The Infrastructure Layer): Developing cinematic, minimalist digital environments that serve as the technical “Source Code” for a brand’s entity. We ensure Data Sovereignty by structuring proprietary intelligence so it remains ownable by the client while remaining 100% accessible to the agentic web.

Quantifying Sovereignty with ASoV

Central to the new strategy is the introduction of AI Share of Voice (ASoV), a metric that replaces legacy traffic data with authority-based tracking. The firm utilizes technical logic to measure category dominance:

ASoV=(∑Total Category Answers/∑Verified Citations)×100

Targeting High-Stakes Verticals

LANY focuses exclusively on verticals where data accuracy is a terminal value:

• Pioneering Wellness and Health-Tech: Protecting clinical sovereignty for global wellness brands, longevity pioneers, and bio-hacking firms. We ensure proprietary protocols and research-backed innovations are cited accurately across the generative landscape.
• Global Wealth & Finance: Securing entity integrity for FinTech, Venture Capital, Private Equity, Hedge Funds, and Wealth Management firms. An AI hallucination about your product, AUM, IRR, or investment thesis is not a marketing inconvenience—it is a fiduciary liability.

About The LANY Group

The LANY Group is an Authority Infrastructure firm with a presence in Los Angeles and New York. By synthesizing bicoastal expertise in prestige storytelling and technical data architecture, LANY ensures that high-stakes, 9+ figure brands in health and finance achieve total Answer Dominance in the generative era.

Authority Infrastructure Services include: GEO, AEO, Entity Governance, Algorithmic Brand Governance, AI Hallucination Defense, Agentic Readiness, Authority PR, LLM Entity Association, First-Party Signal Engineering, and Web Architecture.

Funding led by Haymaker Ventures supports expansion across major U.S. markets

NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2026 — Coral Care, the platform expanding access to in-home pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy, today announced it has raised a $13 million Series A round led by Haymaker Ventures, with participation from FCA Ventures and Peterson Ventures.

Additional investors include Alleycorp, Reach Capital, Jefferson River Capital, Greymatter Capital, Mother Ventures, and Charge Ventures.

The funding will accelerate Coral Care’s national expansion, including newly launched markets in Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. With this growth, Coral Care now operates across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, bringing in-home, insurance-covered pediatric therapy to families across its growing footprint nationwide.

Coral Care’s clinician network has grown to more than 400 licensed providers across its markets, reflecting the rising demand from both families seeking accessible care and therapists pursuing more flexible, sustainable practice models. Families receiving therapy in the home remain in care longer, with more than 75% continuing services beyond four months, while Coral Care’s technology platform reduces administrative workload for clinicians by up to 15 hours per week, enabling more time for direct patient care.

Today, Coral Care connects families with licensed Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), and Physical Therapists (PTs) who deliver care directly in children’s homes, supporting needs ranging from speech and language development and feeding support to motor coordination, sensory processing, and functional development. By embedding therapy within children’s natural environments, Coral Care helps clinicians deliver more contextual, real-world care while improving access and continuity for families.

Founded in 2023 by Jen Wirt, Coral Care was born from her firsthand experience navigating therapy services for her own daughter. After encountering long waitlists, complex insurance requirements, and limited in-network availability, Wirt set out to address the systemic barriers families face when seeking developmental care. She built Coral Care to make therapy easier to find, easier to access, and more sustainable over time.

“We’re building the care infrastructure that allows pediatric therapy to scale without losing its humanity,” said Jen Wirt, Founder and CEO of Coral Care. “By investing in clinicians and enabling in-home delivery, we’re expanding access while strengthening the workforce behind it.”

“Coral Care represents the modern approach to care delivery—one that is affordable, localized, and customized to meet patient needs. It allows providers to focus on patients rather than operational overhead,” said Olivia Baribeau, Principal at Haymaker Ventures.

At a time when technology is reshaping healthcare delivery, Coral Care is building a modern care infrastructure powered by proprietary software that enables high-quality, in-person therapy at scale. The company’s platform streamlines scheduling, documentation, billing, and credentialing, allowing therapists to focus on care delivery while building independent, community-based practices.

With new capital and expanding geographic reach, Coral Care plans to continue scaling its clinician network, launching additional markets, and investing in the technology infrastructure that powers its in-home care model.

About Coral Care
Coral Care is a pediatric therapy platform building the infrastructure layer for in-home developmental care. The company connects families with licensed speech, occupational, and physical therapists who deliver insurance-covered services in the home, while supporting clinicians in building flexible private practices through integrated infrastructure spanning credentialing, scheduling, documentation, and billing. This dual-sided model increases provider supply while making therapy more accessible to families nationwide. By modernizing the workforce and care delivery model, Coral Care is transforming how developmental therapy is accessed and delivered across the United States. With a rapidly growing national provider network, Coral Care is building the leading platform for in-home pediatric therapy. The company operates across multiple U.S. markets and continues to expand nationally. Learn more at www.joincoralcare.com.

Tour d’amorçage mené par la société de capital-risque dédiée à la blockchain Blockchange Ventures. Le protocole Unicity permet aux agents IA de créer des places de marché pair-à-pair sans tiers de confiance, à la vitesse de la machine.

ZUG, Suisse, 20 février 2026 — Unicity Labs, une société de développement de protocoles qui construit l’Internet autonome agentique, a réussi à lever 3 millions de dollars en prêt d’amorçage. Le tour a été mené par Blockchange Ventures, avec la participation de Tawasal, une super application de communication basée au Moyen-Orient, et Outlier Ventures, un investisseur de premier plan dans le domaine du Web3.

Cette levée arrive au moment où les agents IA (entités logicielles capables de découvrir des services, de négocier des conditions et d’exécuter des transactions de manière indépendante) passent du statut d’outils conceptuels à celui d’acteurs économiques. Le marché mondial de l’IA agentique devrait dépasser les 100 milliards de dollars d’ici 2032. Dans cette optique, Unicity Labs a développé le protocole Unicity, une architecture cryptographique de pair à pair permettant à des agents IA autonomes de découvrir des services, de vérifier les contreparties et de réaliser des transactions à la vitesse de la machine sans intermédiaire ni registre partagé.

L’équipe d’Unicity Labs, qui a précédemment créé et quitté Guardtime, une société d’infrastructure de cybersécurité, comprend des chercheurs titulaires d’un doctorat dans les domaines des systèmes distribués, de la cryptographie et de l’apprentissage automatique. L’entreprise a récemment créé la Fondation Unicity en Suisse pour superviser la gouvernance du protocole, le financement des subventions et le développement en open-source.

De plus en plus autonomes, les agents IA devront découvrir des services, négocier des conditions et régler des transactions en continu, à grande échelle, sans intervention humaine. L’infrastructure actuelle impose un compromis : centraliser par le biais de la big tech, en sacrifiant l’absence de tiers de confiance, ou s’appuyer sur les blockchains traditionnelles, qui s’engorgent lorsque des millions d’agents effectuent des transactions simultanément.

« Le livre blanc de Satoshi s’intitulait « Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash ». Dix-sept ans plus tard, nous ne disposons toujours pas d’une véritable monnaie électronique de pair à pair. Chaque transaction passe toujours par des registres partagés, ce qui crée des goulets d’étranglement inutiles », a déclaré Mike Gault, PDG d’Unicity Labs. « Unicity change la donne. Nous ne construisons pas une place de marché ou une plateforme de trading parmi d’autres. Nous construisons l’infrastructure sous-jacente. Unicity fournit le lieu et les rails qui permettent aux agents de se découvrir les uns les autres et de régler directement, sans friction, de pair à pair, à l’échelle et à la vitesse qu’exige l’économie agentique ».

« Le modèle de registre partagé qui a défini la dernière décennie a été conçu avant le monde piloté par l’IA dans lequel nous entrons désormais », a déclaré Matt Immerso, partenaire général de Blockchange Ventures. « Unicity ne s’est pas contentée de patcher l’ancien système, elle a construit son successeur grâce à sa contribution majeure à l’innovation qui sépare les transactions des validations. En demandant au réseau de simplement confirmer l’unicité d’un actif plutôt que de traiter l’ensemble de son contexte, Unicity a réalisé des percées en termes de vitesse, de dimension et de coût, qui sont des conditions préalables absolues pour un avenir alimenté par des agents autonomes ».

Tawasal, une super application de communication de premier plan au Moyen-Orient, qui compte plus de cinq millions d’utilisateurs, a participé au tour de table en tant qu’investisseur stratégique.

« Aujourd’hui, les commerçants dépensent des sommes considérables pour acquérir des clients, en achetant des publicités, en rivalisant pour attirer l’attention, en espérant des conversions », a déclaré Eric Leandri, PDG de Tawasal. « Dans une économie agentique, les commerçants ne vendent pas à des individus. Ils vendent à des agents qui ont reçu des instructions sur ce que veulent leurs utilisateurs et qui sont prêts à effectuer des transactions. L’infrastructure d’Unicity rend cela possible et changera fondamentalement l’économie du commerce ».

« Le secteur a passé une décennie à optimiser les registres partagés. Unicity a posé une question tout à fait différente : Et si les agents n’avaient pas du tout besoin d’un registre partagé ? », a déclaré Dimitrios Chatzianagnostou, CIO d’Outlier Ventures. « C’est ce changement d’architecture qui rend possible le commerce à grande échelle entre agents ».

Seed-financieringsronde geleid door blockchain-VC-bedrijf Blockchange Ventures. Het Unicity Protocol stelt AI-agenten in staat om peer-to-peer, vertrouwensloze marktplaatsen te vormen op machinesnelheid.

ZUG, Zwitserland, 20 februari 2026 — Unicity Labs, een protocolontwikkelaar die bouwt aan het autonome agentgestuurde internet, heeft met succes drie miljoen dollar opgehaald in een seed-financieringsronde. De financieringsronde werd geleid door Blockchange Ventures, met deelname van Tawasal, een in het Midden-Oosten gevestigde communicatie-superapp, en Outlier Ventures, een toonaangevende Web3-investeerder in een vroeg stadium.

De timing van deze kapitaalronde valt samen met de snelle evolutie van AI-agenten — software-entiteiten die zelfstandig diensten kunnen ontdekken, voorwaarden onderhandelen en transacties uitvoeren — van conceptuele hulpmiddelen naar volwaardige economische actoren. De wereldwijde markt voor agentgestuurde AI zal naar verwachting tegen 2032 de honderd miljard dollar overschrijden. In lijn met deze ontwikkeling heeft Unicity Labs het Unicity Protocol ontwikkeld: een peer-to-peer cryptografische architectuur die autonome AI-agenten in staat stelt om diensten te ontdekken, tegenpartijen te verifiëren en transacties af te wikkelen tegen machinesnelheid, zonder tussenpersonen of gedeelde grootboeken.

Het team van Unicity Labs, dat eerder Guardtime opbouwde en succesvol verkocht, bestaat uit promovendi en onderzoekers op het gebied van gedistribueerde systemen, cryptografie en machinaal leren. Het bedrijf heeft recent de Unicity Foundation in Zwitserland opgericht, die verantwoordelijk is voor protocolgovernance, subsidieverlening en open-sourceontwikkeling.

Naarmate AI-agenten autonomer worden, zullen ze continu en op grote schaal diensten moeten ontdekken, voorwaarden onderhandelen en transacties afrekenen, zonder menselijke tussenkomst. De huidige infrastructuur dwingt daarbij een keuze af: centralisatie via big tech, met opoffering van vertrouwensloze eigenschappen, of gebruik van traditionele blockchains, met opstoppingen wanneer miljoenen agenten gelijktijdig transacties uitvoeren.

“Satoshi’s whitepaper droeg de titel ‘Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash’. Zeventien jaar later beschikken we nog steeds niet over echte peer-to-peer of elektronische cash. Elke transactie verloopt nog steeds via gedeelde grootboeken, wat onnodige opstoppingen creëert,” aldus Mike Gault, CEO van Unicity Labs. “Unicity verandert dat. Wij bouwen geen nieuwe marktplaats of handelsplatform, maar de onderliggende infrastructuur. Unicity biedt de plek en de rails waarmee agenten elkaar kunnen vinden en direct, frictieloos en peer-to-peer kunnen afrekenen — op de schaal en snelheid die de agentgestuurde economie vereist.”

“Het gedeelde-grootboekmodel dat het afgelopen decennium domineerde, werd ontworpen vóór de AI-gedreven wereld waarin we nu terechtkomen,” zegt Matt Immerso, General Partner bij Blockchange Ventures. “Unicity heeft het oude systeem niet aangepast, maar een opvolger gebouwd door transacties te scheiden van validatie. Door het netwerk enkel de uniciteit van een activum te laten bevestigen, in plaats van de volledige context te verwerken, heeft Unicity doorbraken gerealiseerd in snelheid, schaalbaarheid en kosten, essentiële voorwaarden voor een toekomst aangedreven door autonome agenten.”

Tawasal, een toonaangevende communicatie-superapp in het Midden-Oosten met meer dan vijf miljoen gebruikers, nam als strategische investeerder deel aan de ronde.

“Tegenwoordig geven handelaren enorme bedragen uit aan klantwerving – advertenties kopen, concurreren om aandacht, hopen op conversies,” aldus Eric Leandri, CEO van Tawasal. “In een agentgestuurde economie richten handelaren zich niet langer op mensen. Ze verkopen aan agenten – agenten die exact weten wat hun gebruikers willen en klaarstaan om transacties uit te voeren. Unicity’s infrastructuur maakt dit mogelijk en zal de economische dynamiek van handel fundamenteel veranderen.”

“De sector heeft een decennium besteed aan het optimaliseren van gedeelde grootboeken. Unicity stelde echter een fundamenteel andere vraag: wat als agenten helemaal geen gedeeld grootboek nodig hebben?” zei Dimitrios Chatzianagnostou, CIO van Outlier Ventures. “Die architecturale verschuiving maakt grootschalige agent-tot-agent-handel daadwerkelijk mogelijk.”

CLEVELAND, Feb. 19, 2026 — Eagle Wireless, a leading U.S.-based cellular module manufacturer, today announced the successful close of a $30 million Series B financing led by Asymmetric Capital Partners and The O.H.I.O. Fund. The new investment brings Eagle Wireless’ total capital raised to $44 million and positions the company to be at the center of innovation as the global connectivity ecosystem transitions from 4G to 5G.

Eagle Wireless is the only Western cellular module manufacturer serving both the IoT and automotive markets, providing customers with scalable, secure, and high-performance connectivity solutions across industrial, commercial, and vehicle platforms. The Series B capital will be used to expand research and development, advance the company’s 5G roadmap, and support the company’s expansion into full-device production for customers in the United States, leveraging its existing cellular module platforms and long-standing customer relationships.

“This Series B is a major milestone for Eagle Wireless and a strong validation of our long-term strategy,” said Norbert Muhrer, CEO of Eagle Wireless. “As the industry accelerates its transition from 4G to 5G, we are committed to investing deeply in R&D to ensure our customers have access to best-in-class connectivity solutions across both IoT and automotive applications.”

As connectivity requirements grow more complex, customers are increasingly seeking trusted partners capable of delivering not only critical components, but complete, field-ready devices. Eagle Wireless’ expansion into U.S.-based device production builds on the company’s proven cellular modules and enables customers to bring products to market faster while benefiting from domestic manufacturing and supply chain resilience.

“From day one, we’ve focused on building durable customer relationships through the cellular module,” said TJ Dembinski, Co-Founder and President of Eagle Wireless. “This raise allows us to extend that value beyond modules and into full-device solutions, helping customers simplify development, accelerate deployment, and meet the growing demands of 5G connectivity.”

The Series B was co-led by existing investors, reflecting continued confidence in Eagle Wireless’ execution, technical depth, and expansion strategy.

“Eagle Wireless is uniquely positioned to strengthen domestic technology and manufacturing capabilities,” said Mark Kvamme, Co-Founder and Chairman of Eagle Wireless, and Founder & CEO of The O.H.I.O. Fund. “By leveraging the company’s proven cellular modules and customer relationships to support full-device production in the United States, Eagle is helping customers reduce supply chain risk while building critical connectivity infrastructure here at home.”

Eagle was only founded in 2024 and this fundraise comes on the back of a major growth year for the business after having turned on production in Ohio in July of 2025. As production ramps, Eagle expects to turn on over $100mm of committed run-rate revenue over the next 12 months in the module market alone. The business then plans to use its relationship with blue-chip customers to offer additional value through device production and design services.

“Eagle Wireless has built a rare platform at the intersection of IoT, automotive, and next-generation connectivity,” said Sam Clayman, Partner at Asymmetric Capital Partners. “Their ability to evolve from a leading module supplier into a full-device partner creates a compelling growth opportunity. We’re excited to support the team in this next phase.”

With this Series B financing, Eagle Wireless plans to cement its position as the leading Western module vendor, accelerate development of next-generation 5G solutions, and expand its role as a trusted U.S.-based partner for customers deploying connected devices at scale.
