Startups
A prediction market startup is now worth $22 billion after its third funding doubling in seven months. The only thing harder to predict than the future is apparently Kalshi's valuation.
Startups
Davis says it can turn months of real-estate feasibility work into days. Slightly insane pitch, oddly grounded founders, and a pre-seed I can picture.
Startups
Corvera thinks CPG brands do not need more dashboards. They need fewer humans trapped between inboxes, ERPs, and Amazon settlement reports.
Startups
Pacific Hybreed thinks shellfish farming starts with better seed, not louder software. The $1M round is tiny, earnest, and weirdly convincing.
Startups
Zapdos just raised $500K to turn old factory cameras into safety agents. Weirdly earnest, slightly surveillance-pilled, and more grounded than most AI seed theater.
Startups
All3 thinks housing gets cheaper when architecture, factories, and a four-legged robot finally share a brain. Wild pitch, real pain point, oddly persuasive.
