Milestones Include Series D Funding, Geographic Expansion and Significant Volume Growth

RICHMOND, BC, Dec. 17, 2025 — UniUni, a leading last-mile delivery company, today shares highlights from a transformative 2025 that are reshaping e-commerce logistics. The company accelerated its growth across the U.S. and Canada through strategic partnerships, key leadership appointments, product launches, and service expansions, solidifying its place among North America’s fastest-growing and most trusted logistics leaders at a time when e-commerce brands are demanding greater speed, transparency, and control than traditional last-mile networks can deliver.

In 2025, UniUni expanded its delivery footprint to cover 65% of the U.S. and 80% of Canada, reaching more than 500 cities across North America. The company also saw a revenue increase of more than 2,000% between 2022 and 2025, alongside a 1,073% increase in domestic volume from 2024 to 2025.

“It was a pivotal year for UniUni as we deepened both our physical presence and end-to-end, last-mile capabilities across the U.S. and Canada to bring fast, affordable, and reliable shipping options to e-commerce brands of every size,” said Peter Lu, Co-founder and CEO of UniUni. “Our continued growth is proof that e-commerce brands and consumers want the consistent, transparent, and truly seamless last-mile delivery experience that UniUni continues to deliver.”

Strengthened Internal Leadership and Industry Standing

With its continued growth, investment, and industry recognition, UniUni cemented its position as a last-mile leader, setting the gold standard for speed, transparency, affordability, reliability, and innovation. Milestones include:

Deepened Strategic Partnerships and Service Capabilities

The year also brought new strategic partnerships aimed at empowering e-commerce brands with smarter, faster, and more sustainable delivery solutions.

• Robotics & Automation Enhancement: In partnership with Global Robotics Services, UniUni deployed cutting-edge robotic sortation technologies that delivered 99.99% sorting accuracy. This technology enhanced UniUni’s operational speed, increased parcel volume handling and allowed UniUni to continue scaling its North American warehouse network, and grow its service capabilities to meet shifting demand.
• Strategic Acquisition & Service Expansion: In March, UniUni announced it acquired Shippie, a Toronto-based regional delivery service, to boost its retail platform and fuel local market reach across North America. The integration of Shippie’s local delivery expertise with UniUni’s technology and expansive network has enhanced speed, capacity, and the customer experience across Canada and the U.S.
• Additional industry highlights included:
  • Partnered with ShipWise to give merchants greater control over cross-border logistics, enabling faster, more precise, and more transparent shipping between the U.S. and Canada.
  • Joined Shipium‘s carrier network to expand access to UniUni’s modern, end-to-end shipping solutions for enterprise, retail, and e-commerce brands, helping them meet rising expectations for speed, transparency, and reliability.
  • Strengthened its delivery ecosystem through additional strategic partnerships with Connectship, EasyPost, and ShipHero.
  • Expanded its partnerships with Carbonzero and veritree to advance its commitment to carbon neutrality and large-scale, verified reforestation projects across North America.

Simplified Last-Mile and Cross-Border Deliveries

This year, UniUni advanced its mission of simplifying the last mile by bringing innovative, nation-spanning and cross-border delivery solutions to e-commerce merchants. Specifically, UniUni:

• Launched seamless cross-border delivery from the U.S. to Canada: UniUni is leveraging its vast, integrated U.S. and Canadian last-mile networks to offer merchants total network control of their U.S.-to-Canada logistics, allowing them to manage the full shipment journey from first-mile pickup, through customs, to final doorstep delivery.
• Supercharged UniUni Small Business shipping for Canadian sellers: The company’s new network of staffed UniUni Stores and easily accessible drop-off UniUni Points in Toronto and across Canada give smaller e-commerce merchants a self-service experience where they can sign up and start shipping in minutes, with access to UniUni’s fast, flexible, and affordable delivery ecosystem powered by its full-stack logistics platform, and domestic and cross-border networks.

“At UniUni, we believe great delivery should be simple, affordable, and transparent, for every merchant and every customer,” said Lu. “We’re giving merchants of all sizes, and across borders, the tools to meet rising customer expectations while keeping their shipping costs and complexities low.”

-MoEngage obtiene 180 millones de dólares adicionales en financiación de Serie F; completa evento de liquidez para empleados e inversores

La ronda, liderada por ChrysCapital y Dragon Funds, subraya el impulso global de MoEngage a medida que las empresas van más allá de las nubes de marketing tradicionales para adoptar la plataforma de interacción con el cliente basada en insights de MoEngage, tanto para los equipos de marketing como de producto.

La demanda de Merlin AI y la suite unificada de interacción de MoEngage continúa creciendo en Norteamérica, EMEA, Australia, Nueva Zelanda y el Sudeste Asiático, a medida que las marcas invierten en insights más profundos y experiencias conectadas del cliente.

LONDRES, 17 de diciembre de 2025 — MoEngage, la plataforma de interacción con el cliente para marcas de consumo anunció la captación de 180 millones de dólares adicionales en su ronda de financiación Serie F. Esta financiación se suma a los 100 millones de dólares obtenidos en noviembre de 2025, lo que eleva la financiación total de la Serie F a 280 millones de dólares. La última inversión fue liderada por los nuevos inversores ChrysCapital y Dragon Funds, junto con Schroders Capital, y con la participación continua de los inversores actuales TR Capital y B Capital.

El capital se utilizará para acelerar la innovación de la suite Merlin AI, ampliar los equipos de lanzamiento al mercado en Norteamérica y EMEA, y explorar adquisiciones estratégicas que amplíen las capacidades de la plataforma. MoEngage continúa consolidando su presencia en Australia, Nueva Zelanda y el Sudeste Asiático, donde las marcas empresariales están modernizando sus plataformas de interacción con el cliente y unificando los flujos de trabajo de marketing y producto.

Además de estas inversiones de crecimiento, MoEngage ha completado su segunda oferta pública de adquisición (OPA) para empleados, por un total aproximado de 15 millones de dólares, que beneficia a 259 empleados, actuales y antiguos, en su proceso de creación de patrimonio. La ronda incluyó transacciones secundarias seleccionadas para inversores iniciales, concretamente Eight Roads, Helion Venture Partners, Matrix Partners y Ventureast.

“En MoEngage, creemos que nuestro éxito es un esfuerzo colectivo, basado en una cultura de responsabilidad e innovación. Es fundamental reconocer a quienes nos han permitido llegar hasta aquí”, afirmó Raviteja Dodda, consejera delegada y cofundadora de MoEngage. “Este programa de liquidez refleja ese compromiso al garantizar que los creadores de MoEngage, nuestros empleados y los primeros inversores tengan la oportunidad de compartir directamente los logros que alcanzamos juntos. Agradecemos la colaboración con ChrysCapital, Dragon Funds, Schroders Capital, TR Capital y B Capital para continuar nuestra expansión global”.

Acelerando el crecimiento en Europa y Reino Unido

Europa y Reino Unido siguen siendo mercados clave para el crecimiento de MoEngage, ya que las empresas aceleran su transformación digital y adoptan plataformas de interacción con el cliente basadas en IA. Aprovechando su presencia actual, la compañía planea ampliar aún más su plantilla en ambas regiones, ampliando los equipos de éxito del cliente, soporte, ventas y marketing, a la vez que mejora sus capacidades de IA.

MoEngage colabora con empresas líderes de comercio minorista, comercio electrónico, servicios financieros y telecomunicaciones para unificar los datos de los clientes y ofrecer experiencias omnicanal personalizadas. Estas iniciativas ayudan a las empresas de la región a aprovechar la IA para mejorar la retención, la fidelización y las experiencias conectadas de los clientes en mercados digitales cada vez más competitivos.

Con el liderazgo de MoEngage como plataforma de interacción con el cliente para profesionales del marketing, está reforzando su suite para Product Teams con MoEngage Analytics y MoEngage Inform. Dado que la interacción con el cliente actual no se basa únicamente en el marketing, los equipos de producto y marketing deben operar con datos compartidos para garantizar que las experiencias del cliente estén conectadas, no fragmentadas.

MoEngage Inform optimiza la mensajería transaccional crítica, como las contraseñas de un solo uso (OTP), las actualizaciones de cuentas y las actualizaciones de servicio, mediante una única API en todos los canales de mensajería y proveedores de entrega, lo que garantiza una fiabilidad que la distingue de las campañas de marketing. Por otro lado, las capacidades mejoradas de análisis de producto de MoEngage Analytics acortan la distancia entre el conocimiento y la acción. Al unificar los datos de comportamiento con la interacción inmediata, MoEngage permite a los gerentes de producto descubrir el porqué del comportamiento del usuario y generar experiencias instantáneas que impulsan la retención y el valor de vida del cliente (LTV).

“La interacción con el cliente nunca ha sido responsabilidad de un solo equipo. Los clientes pasan por muchos momentos, y esos momentos deben sentirse conectados y apoyados”, añadió Dodda. “Cuando producto, ingeniería y marketing trabajan con los mismos datos y herramientas, pueden presentarse de forma más natural a sus audiencias. Esa es la experiencia que queremos ayudar a las empresas a ofrecer para que puedan hacer crecer sus marcas”.

Rishabh Iyer, vicepresidente de ChrysCapital, declaró: “ChrysCapital se complace en asociarse con MoEngage para su próxima fase de crecimiento impulsado por la IA. Esta inversión se alinea con nuestra estrategia de respaldar plataformas tecnológicas desarrolladas en India para empresas globales, aprovechando el talento, la eficiencia del capital y un profundo conocimiento de las necesidades empresariales. Nos impresiona el modelo operativo disciplinado de MoEngage, su ejecución sostenida en EE. UU. y sus amplias capacidades de producto. Esperamos ayudar al equipo a convertirse en la plataforma tecnológica de marketing líder a nivel mundial”.

Ridhi Chaudhary, responsable de información de Dragon Funds, comentó: “Nos complace asociarnos con MoEngage, impresionados por su sólida gestión, la continua innovación de productos y el crecimiento sostenido. Creemos que el producto líder en su clase y las capacidades de IA de MoEngage la posicionan para liderar la categoría de martech.” Aakash Tulsani, director general de Dragon Funds, añadió: “MoEngage marca la pauta en innovación al aprovechar la IA en datos propios, lo que la hace esencial para los profesionales del marketing. Es un privilegio asociarnos de nuevo con MoEngage, tras haber invertido anteriormente”.

“En Zeta, estamos desarrollando la plataforma bancaria moderna para las principales instituciones financieras del mundo. Como empresa centrada en datos, nos basamos en un profundo conocimiento de los clientes para impulsar nuestra estrategia de producto”, afirmó Bhavin Turakhia, cofundador y consejero delegado de Zeta. “MoEngage Analytics nos ha ayudado a optimizar procesos críticos como la incorporación, la activación y la venta cruzada, mientras que sus funciones de mensajería nos permiten impulsar a los clientes al instante. Uniendo eficazmente la información con la acción. Como usuario del producto, estoy impresionado por la innovación constante. Además, MoEngage Inform se ha vuelto esencial para impulsar nuestras comunicaciones esenciales, ofreciendo actualizaciones de cuentas y transacciones con alta fiabilidad y rapidez”.

“MoEngage Inform se ha convertido en un componente fundamental de nuestra experiencia de comercio electrónico en Loblaw, en todas nuestras líneas de negocio”, afirmó Charu Pujari, vicepresidente sénior de IA e Ingeniería de Loblaw Digital. “Mantiene a los clientes informados sobre sus pedidos de entrega y recogida con la rapidez y fiabilidad que esperan, lo que ha marcado una diferencia significativa en su nivel de compromiso y confianza durante todo el proceso”.

Avendus Capital actuó como asesor financiero exclusivo de la empresa y sus accionistas.

The round, led by ChrysCapital and Dragon Funds, underscores MoEngage’s global momentum as enterprises move beyond legacy marketing clouds to adopt MoEngage’s insights-led customer engagement platform for both marketing and product teams.

Demand for Merlin AI and MoEngage’s unified engagement suite continues to surge across North America, EMEA, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia as brands invest in deeper insights and connected customer experiences.

LONDON, Dec. 17, 2025 — MoEngage, the customer engagement platform for consumer brands, announced it has raised an additional $180 million as part of its Series F round. This follows the $100 million secured in November 2025, taking the total Series F raise to $280 million. The latest investment was led by new investors ChrysCapital and Dragon Funds, alongside Schroders Capital, with continued participation from current investors TR Capital and B Capital.

The capital will be used to accelerate innovation for the Merlin AI suite, scale go-to-market teams in North America and EMEA, and explore strategic acquisitions that extend the platform’s capabilities. MoEngage continues to deepen its presence across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, where enterprise brands are modernising their customer engagement stacks and unifying marketing and product workflows.

Alongside these growth investments, MoEngage has completed its second employee tender offer, totalling approximately $15 million, which benefits 259 current & former employees in their wealth creation journey. The round included select secondary transactions for early investors, namely Eight Roads, Helion Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, and Ventureast.

“At MoEngage, we believe our success is a collective effort, built on a culture of ownership and innovation. It is vital that we recognize the people who brought us to this stage,” said Raviteja Dodda, CEO & Co-founder, MoEngage. “This liquidity program reflects that commitment by ensuring that the builders of MoEngage, our employees, and early investors have the opportunity to directly share in the milestones we achieve together. We are grateful for the partnership of ChrysCapital, Dragon Funds, Schroders Capital, TR Capital, and B Capital as we continue to scale globally.”

Accelerating Growth across Europe and in the UK

Europe and the UK continue to be key growth markets for MoEngage as enterprises accelerate their digital transformation and embrace AI-driven customer engagement platforms. Building on its existing footprint, the company plans to further expand its workforce across the two regions, scaling customer success, support, sales, and marketing teams, while also enhancing its AI capabilities.

MoEngage partners with leading retail, e-commerce, financial services, and telecom companies to unify customer data and deliver personalised, omnichannel experiences. These efforts help enterprises in the regions to leverage AI to improve customer retention, loyalty, and connected experiences in increasingly competitive digital markets.

Building on its leadership as the customer engagement platform for marketers, MoEngage is strengthening its suite for Product Teams with MoEngage Analytics and MoEngage Inform. As modern customer engagement isn’t driven solely by marketing, product, and marketing teams must operate on shared data to ensure customer experiences are connected, not fragmented.

MoEngage Inform streamlines critical transactional messaging, such as OTPs, account updates and service updates, via a single API across messaging channels and delivery providers, ensuring reliability distinct from marketing campaigns. Meanwhile, the enhanced Product Analytics capabilities in MoEngage Analytics bridge the gap between insight and action. By unifying behavioral data with immediate engagement, MoEngage empowers Product Managers to uncover the ‘why’ behind user behaviour and instantly trigger experiences that drive retention and LTV.

“Customer engagement has never belonged to just one team. Customers move through many moments, and those moments should feel connected and supportive,” added Dodda. “When product, engineering, and marketing work from the same data and tools, they can show up more naturally for their audiences. That’s the experience we want to help companies deliver so they can grow their brands.”

Rishabh Iyer, Vice President at ChrysCapital, stated, “ChrysCapital is excited to partner with MoEngage for its next phase of AI-led growth. This investment aligns with our strategy to back technology platforms, built in India for global enterprises, leveraging deep talent, capital efficiency, and a sophisticated understanding of enterprise needs. We are impressed by MoEngage’s disciplined operating model, sustained US execution, and broad product capabilities. We look forward to helping the team become the world’s leading marketing technology platform.”

Ridhi Chaudhary, CIO of Dragon Funds, said, “We are pleased to partner with MoEngage, impressed by its strong management, continuous product innovation, and durable growth. We believe MoEngage’s best-in-class product and AI capabilities position it well to lead the martech category.” Aakash Tulsani, Managing Director at Dragon Funds, added, “MoEngage sets the bar for innovation by leveraging AI on first-party data, making it essential for marketers. It is a privilege to partner with MoEngage again, having invested previously.”

“At Zeta, we are building the modern banking stack for the world’s leading financial institutions. As a data-driven company, we rely on deep customer insights to drive our product strategy,” said Bhavin Turakhia, Co-founder & CEO, Zeta. “MoEngage Analytics has helped us optimise critical journeys like onboarding, activation, and cross-sell, while their messaging capabilities allow us to instantly nudge customers. Effectively bridging the gap between insight and action. As a user of the product, I am impressed by the constant innovation. Additionally, MoEngage Inform has become essential for powering our mission-critical communications, delivering account and transaction updates with high reliability and speed.”

“MoEngage Inform has become a core part of how we run our e-commerce experience at Loblaw across our lines of business,” said Charu Pujari, SVP, AI and Engineering at Loblaw Digital. “It keeps customers updated on their delivery and pickup orders with the speed and reliability they expect, which has made a meaningful difference in how engaged and confident they feel throughout the process.”

Avendus Capital acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the company and its shareholders.

ADELAIDE, Australia, Dec. 16, 2025 — Australian company Ferronova has raised a further $6 million to progress the commercialisation of a novel nanoparticle image-guided surgery solution seeking to improve identification of cancer cells and reduce the risk of undetected recurrence following surgery.

Ferronova’s super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles bind to cells found in lymph nodes which aim to enable identification of tissue that could contain cancerous cells. The technology aims to support more informed surgical decision-making and address the problem that cancer cells are often not identified by current imaging and rogue cells may remain undetected in surgery.

Ferronova’s latest $6 million round was led by existing investors Uniseed/UniSuper, South Australian Venture Capital Fund, Artesian Venture Partners and Renew Pharmaceuticals (a subsidiary of Singapore-based Ultragreen.ai). The latest capital raising brings the total generated in Series A rounds to $17.5 million.

Ferronova is currently undertaking a 60 patient, two-year trial of the technology in stomach and oesophageal cancers – with 54 patients enrolled to date and completion expected in early 2026. The trial involves leading national research centres including the Olivia Newton John Cancer Centre, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre. Plans are underway to continue research in the US over the next two years.

Ferronova CEO Stewart Bartlett said that while surgery remains the only curative treatment for most patients, surgical research only attracts 0.1% of global cancer research funding^[1]. 

“We all know someone who had surgery to remove lesions only for the cancer to return and how devastating that can be.

“The challenge is particularly evident in stomach and oesophageal cancer, where recurrence after surgery occurs in over 60% of patients^[2].  Three-year survival can be as low as 41% in stomach cancer and 27% in oesophageal cancer.

“We are pioneering a novel, image guided surgery tracer that is being developed to help pre-operatively identify areas where cancer may have metastasised. The aim is for surgeons to perform more precise surgery by better locating lymph nodes at risk of cancer. If successful, that’s a game changer.

“Approximately 1.8 million people are diagnosed with stomach and oesophageal cancer globally each year. Our ambition is to support an increase in curative outcomes through improved surgical guidance.”

Mr Declan Cassells, COO of Ultragreen.ai (parent company of Renew Pharmaceuticals Ltd), noted that interest in fluorescence guided surgery continues to accelerate globally.  UltraGreen.ai earlier this month successfully listed on the Singapore Exchange, further strengthening its ability to advance its fluorescence guided surgery platform globally.

“Ferronova’s novel approach aligns closely with our focus on fluorescence-guided surgery. Their tracer technology may offer particular promise in complex cancers where conventional imaging approaches are limited.

“We see strong potential in this area of research and believe Ferronova’s development programme complements our broader commitment to improving surgical precision and outcomes. We are pleased to support their progress into later-stage clinical studies and ultimately commercialisation.”

ABOUT FERRONOVA

Ferronova is an Australian medical technology company headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia. Its mission is to improve treatment options in early stage, complex cancers and increase survival rates with its unique surgical oncology tracer system. Shareholders include Renew Pharmaceuticals Limited (subsidiary of UltraGreen.ai), Uniseed/UniSuper, the South Australian Venture Capital Fund (SAVCF), Artesian Venture Partners, the University of South Australia, Powerhouse Ventures, the University of Wellington in New Zealand, the University of Sydney, PAN Ventures, STOIC Venture Capital, and Perennial Partners Future of HealthCare Fund.

-Allink Biotherapeutics completa rondas de extensión de la Serie A por 47 millones de dólares para acelerar programas clínicos y el desarrollo de nuevas plataformas

• La compañía obtuvo 47 millones de dólares mediante rondas de extensión de la Serie A, lideradas por Legend Capital y Meituan Long-Z Investment, con un sólido respaldo tanto de nuevos inversores como de los patrocinadores existentes.
• Los fondos se destinarán al avance de dos programas de ADC diferenciados y altamente competitivos en ensayos globales de Fase I.
• La financiación apoyará el desarrollo continuo de ADC y plataformas de anticuerpos multiespecíficos, destinadas a abordar las limitaciones críticas de las terapias biológicas existentes.

SHANGHAI, 17 de diciembre de 2025 — Allink Biotherapeutics, Inc. (AllinkBio), una compañía de biotecnología en fase clínica, centrada en el desarrollo de conjugados anticuerpo-fármaco (ADC) avanzados y terapias con anticuerpos multiespecíficos para oncología e inmunología, anunció hoy la finalización exitosa de sus rondas de extensión de la Serie A, recaudando 47 millones de dólares estadounidenses. Las rondas de extensión fueron lideradas por el inversor Legend Capital y el nuevo inversor Meituan Long-Z Investment, seguidos por otros destacados inversores, tanto recurrentes como nuevos, como Lanchi Ventures, Yuanbio Venture Capital, 5Y Capital, Lapam Capital y Runzhang Venture Capital, entre otros.

Avanzando en el desarrollo clínico global de dos activos líderes

Las rondas de extensión de la Serie A impulsarán el desarrollo clínico global de los dos programas líderes de la compañía, con claras ventajas competitivas. ALK201, un posible ADC dirigido a FGFR2b, el primero y mejor de su clase, ha demostrado señales de eficacia alentadoras en múltiples tipos de tumores con un perfil de seguridad favorable, lo que respalda su desarrollo como terapia base para tumores sólidos con sobreexpresión de FGFR2b. Paralelamente, los primeros datos clínicos de ALK202 han respaldado preliminarmente el potencial de ADC biespecífico EGFR/cMET como terapia fundamental en el cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas. Además, el programa se está expandiendo para incluir la evaluación clínica de una gama más amplia de tipos de tumores y poblaciones de pacientes definidos por biomarcadores.

AllinkBio ha comenzado el desarrollo de ambos activos clínicos principales mediante una estrategia guiada por biomarcadores, diseñada para demostrar su eficacia en un amplio espectro de tumores sólidos. A corto plazo, la compañía planea iniciar estudios de terapia combinada para explorar más a fondo el potencial terapéutico de ambos activos en poblaciones más amplias de pacientes de primera línea. Estas iniciativas acelerarán la preparación de ALK201 y ALK202 para ensayos clínicos cruciales, a la vez que establecerán un perfil diferenciado en sus respectivas indicaciones objetivo.

Aumento de las capacidades de la plataforma tecnológica innovadora

Más allá de su tecnología ADC, AllinkBio está estableciendo una plataforma patentada de captadores de células T enmascarados (TCE) para desarrollar la aplicación de los TCE en tumores sólidos. En el ámbito de la inmunología, la compañía está desarrollando una cartera de fármacos candidatos a anticuerpos bi- y multiespecíficos de primera clase. Basados en el diseño de biología racional, estos programas buscan ofrecer soluciones de última generación para poblaciones de pacientes no cubiertas por los estándares actuales de atención.

“Agradecemos sinceramente el decidido y continuo apoyo de nuestros inversores en tan poco tiempo”, afirmó Hui Feng, Ph.D., fundador y consejero delegado de AllinkBio. “Con este apoyo, avanzamos con una hoja de ruta clínica clara para acelerar nuestros programas líderes. Más allá de los dos programas líderes, nuestro motor de descubrimiento está plenamente operativo, listo para ofrecer una nueva oleada de fármacos candidatos innovadores que generarán mayor valor en el futuro próximo”.

“Nuestro continuo apoyo se basa en nuestra confianza en la eficiente ejecución del equipo de AllinkBio y su sólida estrategia de desarrollo”, afirmó Tan Hong, director general de Legend Capital. “El rápido avance clínico de sus dos activos líderes competitivos ya constituye una sólida validación de la plataforma ADC de la compañía y presenta un valor significativo. Esperamos con interés los resultados clínicos a corto plazo y ver cómo surgen más programas innovadores de sus plataformas de descubrimiento.

“El equipo de AllinkBio combina una mentalidad internacional con una ejecución de primer nivel, marcando un ritmo notable en el sector de los ADC”, afirmó Xuejing Guo, director general y jefe de atención médica de Meituan Long-Z Investment. “Estamos profundamente impresionados por el potencial de su plataforma tecnológica y nos entusiasma ayudar al equipo a convertir estas innovaciones originales en un impacto global, ofreciendo terapias que cambiarán la vida de pacientes de todo el mundo”.

Acerca de AllinkBio

Fundada en 2023, AllinkBio es una empresa de biotecnología en fase clínica dedicada al descubrimiento y desarrollo de ADC diferenciados y anticuerpos multiespecíficos para oncología e inmunología. Aprovechando la sinergia de las capacidades de su plataforma innovadora y su excepcional eficiencia en I+D, la empresa ha avanzado rápidamente dos candidatos ADC a ensayos clínicos globales de fase I. AllinkBio se compromete a impulsar la innovación en ADC y anticuerpos multiespecíficos para transformar la vida de pacientes necesitados en todo el mundo.

 Backed by $14M in seed funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, and pre-seed funding led by General Catalyst with participation from Accel, Leona Health is building a new healthcare operating system – starting in Latin America, and building for the world – that empowers doctors with more time to deliver patient care

SAN FRANCISCO and MEXICO CITY, Dec. 16, 2025 — Today, Leona Health – the world’s first AI co-pilot for doctors built on WhatsApp – announced its launch across 14 countries and 22 specialties. Backed by $14M in seed funding, led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with participation from General Catalyst (pre-seed lead), Accel, Maven Clinic’s Kate Ryder, Nubank’s David Vélez, and Rappi’s Simón Borrero, Leona Health is partnering with physicians to build smarter AI-powered support.

An AI co-pilot for doctors

Leona Health’s first focus is solving one of doctors’ biggest challenges: patient communication. As a co-pilot, Leona Health leverages the latest in AI and large language models to securely integrate with a doctor’s WhatsApp. While patients continue to message their doctors on WhatsApp, doctors receive the communication in the Leona mobile app. With capabilities such as automatic categorization, suggested responses, team collaboration and admin support, doctors save hours a day with more efficient administrative support. Soon, the product will also include AI conversational scheduling and full automation for non-clinical tasks. As Leona learns from each doctor’s workflow, it becomes increasingly accurate, personal, and supportive over time.

“In Latin America’s private healthcare system, care often begins with a WhatsApp message,” said Caroline Merin, cofounder and CEO of Leona Health. “The heart of healthcare is the doctor-patient relationship, but without the right tools, that humanity comes at a cost. By automating the administrative side of medicine with an AI co-pilot for doctors, Leona Health is building the future operating system for healthcare to scale what matters most: human connection.”

Protecting patient care in a market ripe for disruption

In many countries around the world, physicians are solo entrepreneurs who run their own private-practice, often as a team of one. Without widespread adoption of electronic health record (EHR) tools – just 35% in Latin America compared to 90% in the United States – many rely on WhatsApp for patient communication and scheduling. In today’s on-demand world, where patients want access and answers 24/7, doctors in Latin America are now working double-time: treating patients in person while responding to hundreds of administrative messages on their personal phones.

“Unlike in the United States, in Mexico we don’t message patients through an EHR, but on our personal phone numbers,” said Dr. Inés Álvarez, a Mexico City-based physician who has a panel of over 1200 patients and was an early Leona Health adopter. “I get more than 100 messages a day, often between patient visits or when I’m sitting down to dinner with my kids. Leona has been transformative, giving me back 10+  hours each week to focus on my patients, not my phone.”

Designing the future of care delivery, worldwide

Leona Health is uniquely scalable. By launching first in Latin America, a region still building healthcare infrastructure from the ground up, Leona is designing a model for care that can expand globally. Leveraging WhatsApp, a platform that 95% of doctors in Latin America report using to run their practice, and 3 billion people worldwide use monthly, Leona Health turns familiar tools into intelligent workflows. Emerging from a stealth pilot, the company is already active across 14 countries with doctors from more than 22 different specialties.

“Leona Health is creating a new layer of digital infrastructure for healthcare — one that starts where people already communicate, on WhatsApp,” said Julie Yoo, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz. “By leveraging ubiquitous technology and thoughtful design, Leona is showing how tech can transform access to care and re-architect the patient experience for a more connected, intelligent future.”

About Leona Health
Leona Health is the first AI co-pilot helping doctors scale the human side of healthcare through WhatsApp, the world’s most used communications platform. By turning everyday administrative messages into organized, intelligent workflows, Leona Health frees doctors to focus on patient care. Launched in Latin America – where 95% of patient-physician communication already happens on WhatsApp – Leona Health now powers better experiences for patients across 14 countries. Backed by $14M in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), General Catalyst, and Accel, as well as Maven Clinic’s Kate Ryder, Nubank’s David Vélez, and Rappi’s Simón Borrero, Leona Health is building a new operating system for care that will scale globally.

Despite widespread adoption of adult personal health tracking, infancy remains largely unmeasured. Today, Nanit unveils the first real-time, personalized view into a baby’s sleep, health, development, and connection, helping families and clinicians act earlier.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2025 — Nanit, the U.S.-based technology leader trusted by over one million families for understanding their baby’s sleep, today announced a $50 million growth capital round led by Springcoast Partners with participation from Upfront Ventures and JVP. Launched in 2014, Nanit has evolved baby monitors into smart companions that track real-time health, predict development, support parent–child connection, and deliver leading sleep insights. This new round of funding will accelerate the development of Nanit’s AI-powered Parenting Intelligence System, a breakthrough product that identifies early signals in speech and language development, motor skills, cognitive patterns, and other developmental indicators. Nanit is redefining what families and clinicians can expect in a child’s earliest years by setting a new standard in how we use technology to track personal health.

The human brain is nearly fully developed by age five, and decades of research show that the quality of care during these early years shapes outcomes well into adulthood, from physical and emotional health to educational and career success. Yet despite the critical importance of this developmental window, today’s health ecosystem lacks the infrastructure to provide individualized insights and early intervention with the same rigor we provide for adults.

Nanit is the only all-in-one baby-monitoring platform that combines real-time cough detection, clinician-ready video clips, and a personalized sleep coach. Their Sleep Coach uses a single, easy-to-understand Sleep Score that delivers nightly summaries, automatic sleep and nap tracking, and age-based guidance. Through the continued development of new technologies, Nanit is evolving to consolidate all sleep insights into one unified framework designed to interpret data, identify emerging patterns, and provide straightforward recommendations for caregivers. These capabilities give families what traditional resources (including clinical visits) cannot: individualized, digestible, and actionable information about their child’s sleep, details that are difficult to capture through standard milestones or infrequent clinical visits. Between the limited cadence of pediatric visits, Nanit provides the clarity parents need to understand where their baby is today and what they may need next.

“Adults now track sleep, stress, and health patterns to spot trends and intervene early, yet babies, the group that benefits most from early insight, have no comparable system for monitoring or predictive guidance,” said Anushka Salinas, Chief Executive Officer of Nanit and mother of two.” As the technology leader in this space, expanding beyond sleep into a holistic view of early health and development was the natural next step. We envision a future where people can track and access their comprehensive health data from birth to 100 years old. That’s a powerful gift to the next generation.”

Nanit’s Parenting Intelligence System, rolling out in 2026, will track a comprehensive set of developmental and physiological indicators and integrate this data over time. It will measure:

1. Personalized sleep guidance
2. Key health metrics
3. Movement signatures and breathing patterns
4. Motor skill milestones
5. Speech and language patterns
6. Trends that may predict metabolic, emotional, or cognitive challenges

“We’ve spent years learning what a baby’s behavior and health signals are really telling us,” said Tor Ivry, Nanit Co-Founder, Chief Technology Officer and father of three. “Now, we’re teaching technology to translate those signals into meaningful insights, so parents can understand and respond to their baby in real time. We’re not just building smarter monitors, we’re helping build smarter, more confident parents.”

“Nanit has consistently been at the forefront of transforming how parents understand and care for their children,” said Holger Staude, Managing Partner of Springcoast Partners. “We believe the company is uniquely positioned to leverage advances in AI to deliver not only peace of mind, but also actionable health insights that can shape development. We are proud to partner with Anushka and the Nanit team as they expand their mission to redefine parenting technology.”

Nanit’s existing technology is already showing measurable impact: babies using the current system sleep 10% longer on average, giving parents the equivalent of 36 extra nights of rest per year. Families engage with Nanit products beyond age four, demonstrating unmatched trust, personalization, and longevity in the category. Nanit is establishing a new benchmark for how we understand and support lifelong early childhood. The company continues to invest in privacy, security, and encryption, ensuring all data is protected, especially as AI-powered features are integrated.

RedotPay, a global stablecoin-based payment fintech, today announced the successful completion of its US$107 million Series B round, bringing the total capital raised in 2025 to US$194 million. This oversubscribed round is a clear signal of investor confidence in RedotPay’s strong growth momentum and its leading market position in stablecoin application. As of November 2025, RedotPay has over 6 million registered users globally in over 100 markets, with over US$10 billion annualized payment volume. RedotPay now generates over US$150 million in annualized revenue and continues to deliver profitable growth through an efficient, scalable business model.

RedotPay’s Series B brought in new investment led by Goodwater Capital, with participation from Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital, Circle Ventures and the continued backing from HSG and others. With portfolios across consumer fintech, blockchain infrastructure, and global payments, these investors bring deep expertise aligned with RedotPay’s vision to accelerate financial access globally through the mass adoption of stablecoin-based payments, as well as its mission to make digital finance accessible, secure, and efficient for everyone.

“Our goal is to help users manage their finances with confidence through stablecoin-powered financial services. With our latest funding, we plan to accelerate product innovation and expand our global reach. Beyond capital, our investors provide the expertise and resources to enable us to scale responsibly while remaining compliance focused and delivering outstanding user experiences.” said Michael Gao, Co-Founder and CEO of RedotPay. “Goodwater invests in platform companies who are reshaping consumer experiences at global scale, and stablecoin has the potential to disrupt global money flow and strengthen financial inclusion,” said Jin Oh, Partner at Goodwater Capital. “RedotPay is improving financial access globally with remarkable traction for its stablecoin-driven solutions across major markets. We’re excited to support the company through its next phase of global growth as it expands stablecoin utility and continues to accelerate adoption and drive innovation across its payment products.”

RedotPay is building stablecoin-powered financial services that make fund movement instant, predictable, and borderless for both crypto-native and non-crypto users. It empowers global payments with stablecoins through the following:

Many would prefer to store value in assets they trust, such as dollars, Bitcoin, or other digital assets, and spend in their local currency. RedotPay seeks to bridge this gap by giving consumers meaningful control over their financial destiny,” said Jonah Burian at Blockchain Capital. “For millions globally, it is becoming a primary financial tool and a top-of-wallet card. RedotPay’s numbers tell the story, and we are excited to back this team.”

The new capital will fund strategic acquisitions to deepen RedotPay’s product and infrastructure capabilities; secure required licenses and expand its compliance organization to support entry into new markets; and accelerate global hiring to scale its engineering, product, and compliance teams.
