SAN FRANCISCO, July 16, 2026 — GPU.ai today announced that it has been named the Official Title Sponsor of AGI Summit SF 2026, one of the Bay Area’s largest AI gatherings, expected to bring together more than 15,000 attendees including AI founders, enterprise leaders, investors, researchers, and CEOs shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

Scheduled for July 18–19, 2026 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, AGI Summit SF 2026 will convene leading voices across frontier AI, applied machine learning, infrastructure, agents, and enterprise deployment. The speaker roster includes leaders and representatives from organizations such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, and BlackRock, alongside other prominent companies helping define the next phase of AI. Tesla and AWS are among the event’s Gold Sponsors, while GPU.ai will serve in the summit’s top sponsorship role as presenting partner.
GPU.ai said the sponsorship reflects its broader commitment to the builders and organizations driving the next phase of AI adoption. The company is developing an intelligent GPU platform focused on helping teams access and use compute more efficiently, with an emphasis on simplifying infrastructure management while enabling developers to train, fine-tune, and deploy AI workloads at scale. The company said events like AGI Summit SF create valuable opportunities to connect directly with developers, startup teams, and enterprise leaders who are actively building production AI systems.
“Every AI team we talk to is fighting the same battle – GPUs are scattered across different clouds, regions, and vendors, and pricing is all over the map. Teams are overpaying for compute or wasting time hunting for capacity when they should be working on their models,” said Aditya Reddy, CTO of GPU.ai. “We built GPU.ai so teams can find the best capacity at the best price, run their workloads, and scale from prototype to production without rebuilding their infrastructure every six months.”
Ranbir Badwal, CEO of GPU.ai, added: “At the summit, we’ll be giving away the thing everyone wants – free GPU credits. We want builders to come meet the team, learn what we’re creating, and leave with something immediately useful. For startups, researchers, and developers moving quickly, access to compute can make the difference between an idea staying on paper and a product reaching users. GPU capacity has become the new oil of the AI era, and our goal is to put more of it directly in the hands of the people actually building things.”
Attendees of AGI Summit SF 2026 presented by GPU.ai will have the opportunity to meet the GPU.ai team on-site and learn more about the company’s vision for the future of AI infrastructure.

AI-native fleet management company will use the funding to help fleets replace costly, fragmented fleet management spend with a modern, higher-visibility platform and services.
DES MOINES, Iowa, July 15, 2026 — Proaction, an AI-native fleet management technology and services company, today announced $4.2 million in funding to build a modern alternative to the expensive, outdated methods commercial fleets are traditionally managed.
New investors include GTMfund, Breakers, Aviso Ventures, and Iowa InnoVenture, with continued participation from Holman Growth Ventures and the Iowa Economic Development Authority.
For decades, fleets have relied on legacy fleet management companies and fragmented software tools to manage critical operational work across assets, maintenance, payments, programs, claims, and other required fleet workflows. These services are often expensive, opaque, and difficult to adapt to the needs of modern fleet operators.
Proaction is building a new model: an AI-native fleet management service provider that helps fleets replace existing spend with lower-cost, higher-visibility solutions. Rather than forcing operators to choose between disconnected software and expensive managed services, Proaction leverages AI agents instead of call centers. This enables fleets to manage work themselves on top of Proaction’s services platform.
As of today, Proaction currently services publicly traded and Fortune 500 companies who rely on fleets of vehicles and equipment to support their businesses.
“Fleets have been stuck with the same legacy vendors and outdated processes for decades,” said Drake Bauer, CEO of Proaction. “We believe today’s technology creates an opportunity to rebuild fleet management from the ground up: lower costs, clear visibility, faster workflows, and a much simpler experience for the teams doing the work every day.”
The company plans to use the funding to accelerate product development, expand its AI-enabled operations, and grow its team across engineering, operations, sales, and customer success.
“Fleet operators are already spending money on these problems,” added Bauer. “Our job is to become the optimal place for that spend to go, starting one workflow at a time and expanding as clients see the impact.”
Proaction is hiring. Candidates interested in helping reinvent how fleets are managed can learn more at www.proaction.com/careers
About Proaction
Proaction is an AI-native fleet management company helping commercial fleets replace expensive, fragmented fleet management spend with a lower-cost, higher-visibility platform. Proaction helps fleets manage critical operational workflows across areas like maintenance, rentals, registrations, claims, and more, giving operators a modern alternative to legacy fleet management companies.
Seed investment to accelerate hiring, operations, and go-to-market for multichain clearinghouse that has settled over $1 billion in digital asset volume
NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 — Glacis Labs, the crypto infrastructure company building the clearing layer for digital assets, today announced the close of a $6.8 million seed funding round led by Lightspeed Faction, with participation from Franklin Templeton, Coinbase Ventures, Again (formerly IDC Ventures), Protein Capital, and Techni Ventures. The investment will scale hiring, expand operations, and accelerate go-to-market for ZeroDelta, the company’s flagship product, a multichain clearinghouse that has settled over $1 billion in digital asset volume and operates at a $1.5 billion annualized run rate across more than 40 chains.
“The next decade of finance is going to settle onchain, but the rails to do it at an institutional scale do not exist yet. ZeroDelta is the clearinghouse that makes it possible,” said Jacob Blish, Co-Founder and CEO of Glacis Labs. “We are starting with stablecoins because that is where the volume is today, and we are building toward a future where tokenized securities and real-world assets clear on the same infrastructure.”
ZeroDelta is a multichain clearinghouse that matches, nets, and settles digital asset flows with non-custodial, atomic delivery and a cryptographic receipt on every transfer. It sits above the bridges and transport layers that move tokens between blockchains. Rather than routing each transfer individually, it matches opposing flows against each other internally so that only the net remainder ever moves onchain. Glacis Core, the cross-chain messaging layer, and Glacis’ AirLift, the token transport layer, run beneath every ZeroDelta settlement to handle routing and chain-to-chain movement.
Today’s existing cross-chain infrastructure introduces slippage, custody risk, and fragmented audit trails that constrain institutional adoption. ZeroDelta replaces that with a system where settlement is final or it does not happen. The architecture is asset-agnostic and built to extend into tokenized securities, real-world assets, and FX as those markets mature.
The timing of this investment coincides with accelerating institutional demand for onchain infrastructure. Stablecoin regulation is pulling institutional volume onto blockchain rails and as that volume grows, the deterministic, auditable settlement infrastructure from ZeroDelta is critical to how digital asset markets function at scale.
About Glacis Labs Glacis Labs builds the clearing layer for digital assets. Its flagship product, ZeroDelta, is a multichain clearinghouse that matches, nets, and settles digital asset flows across more than 40 chains with non-custodial, atomic delivery. ZeroDelta has cleared over $1 billion in lifetime volume and operates at a $1.5 billion annualized run rate. Glacis serves stablecoin issuers, financial institutions, and protocols building on tokenized assets. Learn more at glacislabs.com.
The partnership adds Lilac as a capacity provider for Saturn Cloud’s token factory platform, giving GPU cloud operators and enterprises a path to model serving and per-token inference on capacity that is already powered on.
NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 — Saturn Cloud, the AI token factory platform, today announced a partnership with Lilac, a Y Combinator-backed inference provider that routes workloads to idle enterprise GPUs. Under the agreement, Saturn Cloud has selected Lilac as a GPU network provider for its platform, extending the supply available to GPU cloud operators and enterprises for model serving and per-token inference.
Lilac draws on NVIDIA AI infrastructure that is already powered on and paid for, and makes it available for inference through an OpenAI-compatible API. That keeps utilization high on hardware the enterprise already owns and pricing low on the consumption side. For Saturn Cloud customers, it means more GPUs to run inference on without standing up new hardware, priced per token with no reserved commitments.
“Operators want every usable GPU hour working, and a lot of capacity sits idle inside enterprises that never reaches the teams who need it. Selecting Lilac as a provider lets us route token factory workloads to that capacity, so customers get serving and per-token inference without waiting on new infrastructure,” said Sebastian Metti, Founder of Saturn Cloud.
The fit is variable inference demand, which is costly to serve on reserved hardware. A Saturn Cloud customer can point a serving workload at Lilac capacity, scale it up as traffic rises, and release it when demand falls. For operators, that means offering inference to their tenants without carrying reserved GPUs themselves. For enterprises, it means serving models without a standing hardware commitment.
“The industry’s GPU problem is often a utilization problem: valuable infrastructure sits idle while inference teams are asked to reserve even more capacity,” said Lucas Ewing, co-founder of Lilac. “Saturn Cloud turns GPU infrastructure into a complete token factory, and Lilac expands the capacity that factory can draw from.”
Availability
Lilac capacity is now available to Saturn Cloud customers. Operators and enterprises interested in routing inference to Lilac capacity can contact Saturn Cloud or get started at saturncloud.io.
About Saturn Cloud
Saturn Cloud is the AI token factory platform for neoclouds, AI Factory operators, and enterprises. The platform provides managed fine-tuning, OpenAI-compatible model serving with per-token billing, managed environments, distributed training, and enterprise security and governance. Saturn Cloud supports GPU architectures and deploys across public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises environments. Learn more at saturncloud.io.
About Lilac
Lilac is a GPU network for inference and batch compute. Lilac connects unused capacity from GPU clouds and enterprise Kubernetes clusters to production AI workloads. Its software helps infrastructure owners monetize downtime. Founded by Ryan and Lucas Ewing, Lilac is backed by Y Combinator. Learn more at getlilac.com.

Reinventing the $1 billion drink mix category with a modern, organic take on the classic flavors consumers grew up loving, without the junk
CARLSBAD, Calif., July 15, 2026 — FAVE, the organic drink mix brand bringing back the nostalgic flavors America grew up on, today announced a $1 million seed round led by Supernatural Ventures and an exclusive, national launch at Sprouts Farmers Market.
FAVE Raises $1 Million Seed Round Led By Supernatural Ventures And Launches Nationwide At Sprouts Farmers Market
In a beverage aisle increasingly crowded with brands competing on function and performance, FAVE is bringing the focus back to flavor. As the first certified organic brand in the nearly $1 billion drink mix category, FAVE is reimagining a category still dominated by legacy brands made with artificial dyes, artificial flavors and 30–40 grams of sugar per serving. FAVE delivers the taste consumers remember, made with organic ingredients and with just 6 grams of organic cane sugar and 25 calories.
FAVE was founded by Ryan Raish, a 20-year CPG sales leader who helped build and scale category-defining brands including Guayaki, Honest Tea, popchips and Chloe’s Pops.
“When I stood in the drink mix aisle, I realized there wasn’t a single option I’d feel good about putting in my cart,” said Ryan Raish, Founder and CEO of FAVE. “From day one, I knew there was an opportunity to reimagine the category. It took nearly two years and hundreds of formulations to create the nostalgic flavors people remember without compromising on ingredients. Seeing Sprouts believe in that vision so quickly with a national launch is incredibly rewarding.”
The $1 million seed round was led by Supernatural Ventures, a leading early-stage consumer investment firm behind breakout brands including Poppi, Goodles, Bachan’s and Jesse & Ben’s. Other investors include the Angel Group, Great Circle Ventures, and CPG leaders and founders from brands including popchips, Perfect Bar and Brainiac.
“We’re thrilled to lead FAVE’s seed round and support Ryan, who has a clear vision for where this category is headed,” said Chris Robb, General Partner at Supernatural Ventures. “For the past decade, innovation in the drink mix category has largely centered on function and performance. FAVE saw an opportunity that others overlooked—putting incredible flavor at the center of the conversation with ingredients today’s consumers expect. That’s a powerful combination.”
FAVE’s launch lineup – Lemonade, Fruit Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, and Tangy Orange – is USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and made without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, delivering the nostalgic flavors consumers love with ingredients they feel good about bringing home. The brand is quickly gaining momentum, earning recognition as the winner of the Naturally Network San Diego Pitch Slam, a Progressive Grocer Editor’s Pick, and receiving UNFI’s “Up Next” designation and KeHE’s “Golden Ticket.”
FAVE is available now in 10-count cartons at almost 500 Sprouts Farmers Market stores nationwide for $8.99 MSRP, and in 16-stick pouches at favemixes.com, Thrive Market and Amazon for $24.99 MSRP.
FAVE is shaking up the $1 billion drink mix category with a modern, organic take on classic flavors. Made with Certified Organic ingredients, just 6 grams of organic cane sugar, and zero artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Founded by 20-year CPG veteran Ryan Raish and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, FAVE is the first Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified brand to ever hit the drink mix aisle. Find your Fave at Sprouts Farmers Market, favemixes.com, Thrive Market, and Amazon. Don’t panic, it’s organic.
Founded at the University of Chicago, the company has nearly bootstrapped to profitability, delivering 500% year-over-year growth and powering operations for leading live experience enterprises across Nightlife & Bars, Sports & Entertainment, Event Organizers, Experience Creators, Festivals, and Membership Clubs.
NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 — Speakeasy, the all-in-one operations & intelligence platform powering live experiences and the IRL (‘in-real-life’) economy, announced the completion of an oversubscribed round, bringing the company’s funding to $8.8 million. The round was led by Positive Sum, with participation from Yamaha’s Music Innovations Fund and other strategic investors, including co-founders and early executives from Seamless, TigerConnect, Genius, D.C. United, Swansea City FC, and Tegus.
Founded in 2023 by Paul Stacek, Tamas An, and Alex Manavi, Speakeasy has bootstrapped to profitability prior to this fundraise, which marks the company’s first institutional financing. The company has quietly established itself as the primary operations and data layer for many of the world’s most prominent live experience brands and entertainment-hospitality enterprises, including TAO Group Hospitality, Fontainebleau Development, E11EVEN, Barstool, Cipriani, and Breakaway Music Festival.
For decades, the live entertainment-hospitality industry has been forced to rely on fragmented, legacy point solutions, stitching together 5+ separate platforms to power ticket sales, on-scene payments & reservation management, fraud defense, premium experiences, and customer communications. Speakeasy replaces this operational friction by offering enterprise-grade ticketing, a full-suite reservation management system, 3D premium booking flows, on-premise payments, direct POS integrations, and CRM tools under one unified, digital “command center.”
“For far too long, live experiences have been powered by technology partners with subpar software, outdated products, and predatory pricing models. We built Speakeasy to change that, collapsing the stack and delivering best-in-class solutions while aligning incentives with our enterprise partners. Our mission is to enable venues & experience organizers to operate more effectively across every revenue center, so that they can focus on what matters most: the guest experience. This fundraise will enable us to double down on a clear mandate to build for the world’s leading enterprises in one of today’s fastest-growing industries in a post-AI world. The work has just begun.” says Alex Manavi, Co-Founder, CEO of Speakeasy.
“When we first met Speakeasy, the metrics and revenue growth were impressive, but the thing that stood out was the team’s sheer force of will.
