– Reactor sale del anonimato con una inversión de 59 millones de dólares para construir la plataforma de mundos de IA en tiempo real

Con financiación liderada por Lightspeed y la participación de WndrCo, Amplify Partners y otros, Reactor proporciona la capa de infraestructura para vídeo generativo en tiempo real

SAN FRANCISCO, 28 de mayo de 2026 — Reactor, la plataforma de desarrollo de vídeo generativo en tiempo real, salió hoy del anonimato con una financiación de 59 millones de dólares liderada por Lightspeed Venture Partners, con la participación de WndrCo, Amplify Partners, Sky9 Capital, FPV Ventures y otros inversores.

Reactor está construyendo la capa de infraestructura que hace que los modelos del mundo en tiempo real sean accesibles para los desarrolladores, lo que permite una nueva generación de aplicaciones de IA interactivas en los ámbitos de los medios de comunicación y el entretenimiento, la IA física y la robótica.

Los modelos del mundo representan un cambio fundamental en la IA, pasando de ser una herramienta que se controla mediante comandos a una experiencia interactiva en tiempo real. Este cambio abre un nuevo camino a los medios de comunicación: experiencias que ya no están pre-renderizadas, sino que se generan dinámicamente y se adaptan a la interacción del usuario.

Sin embargo, a pesar de los rápidos avances de los principales laboratorios, no existe ninguna plataforma que permita ejecutar estos modelos en producción ni que posibilite a los desarrolladores crear aplicaciones a escala global. Reactor está dando respuesta a esta necesidad.

La plataforma Reactor proporciona un SDK y una API unificados que permiten a los desarrolladores crear aplicaciones interactivas en tiempo real con tan solo unas pocas líneas de código, sin necesidad de gestionar la complejidad de implementar y ejecutar estos sistemas a gran escala.

«Los modelos del mundo real están redefiniendo las capacidades de la IA, pasando de sistemas que generan contenido de forma aislada a sistemas que perciben y responden en tiempo real», afirmó Alberto Taiuti, cofundador y consejero delegado de Reactor. «Estamos construyendo la capa fundamental que conecta los laboratorios de modelos con los desarrolladores que desean crear con ellos. Se trata de impulsar una nueva forma de comunicación; una en la que se generan en directo experiencias que antes eran imposibles, y que cualquiera puede crear y distribuir».

Reactor fue cofundada por Alberto Taiuti, consejero delegado, y Bryce Schmidtchen, director de tecnología, ambos antiguos líderes técnicos de Apple Vision Pro. Taiuti fue cofundador de Luma AI, donde se desempeñó como director de tecnología y desarrolló la infraestructura de una de las plataformas de generación de video y 3D más utilizadas del mundo.

El equipo, más amplio, incluye ingenieros e investigadores de Apple, Netflix, Meta, Google, Adobe, Replicate y Microsoft, con amplia experiencia en gráficos, sistemas en tiempo real, medios interactivos y escalabilidad de infraestructuras de IA.

«Actualmente, los desarrolladores no pueden acceder a los modelos de vídeo en tiempo real debido a la falta de una infraestructura que pueda ofrecerles un soporte fiable», comentó Bucky Moore, socio de Lightspeed. «Alberto, Bryce y su equipo aportan una combinación excepcional de experiencia en sistemas en tiempo real y visión de producto para abordar este problema, y creemos que Reactor está bien posicionado para convertirse en la plataforma fundamental de esta nueva categoría».

Reactor ya está trabajando con socios de los sectores de medios de comunicación y entretenimiento, así como de inteligencia artificial física, y cuenta con una demanda activa por parte de estudios de cine y televisión, y empresas de robótica.

«Cada gran transformación en los medios de comunicación ha sido impulsada por nuevas herramientas que amplían las posibilidades de los creadores», declaró Jeffrey Katzenberg, socio fundador de WndrCo, quien se unirá a Reactor como observador del consejo. «La IA representa un momento transformador, pero la verdadera oportunidad reside en lograr que estas tecnologías sean utilizables a gran escala. Reactor está construyendo la plataforma que permitirá una nueva generación de narración y experiencias interactivas».

Los principales desarrolladores de modelos de mundos están empezando a utilizar Reactor como capa de infraestructura para sistemas en tiempo real. Overworld está aprovechando la plataforma para impulsar el desarrollo de sus modelos de mundos interactivos, demostrando cómo estos sistemas pueden evolucionar desde la investigación hasta convertirse en experiencias interactivas totalmente funcionales.

«Crear modelos del mundo es solo una parte del desafío; lograr que sean utilizables y respondan en tiempo real es igualmente crucial», explicó Louis Castricato, consejero delegado de Overworld. «Reactor proporciona la infraestructura necesaria para que podamos ofrecer estos sistemas a desarrolladores y usuarios, mientras trabajamos para crear un nuevo medio de entretenimiento interactivo en el que realmente se pueda sumergir».

Entre los socios estratégicos de Reactor se encuentra Amazon Web Services (AWS), que será el proveedor de servicios en la nube preferido de la empresa, impulsando la infraestructura informática y el alcance de distribución necesarios para gestionar cargas de trabajo de vídeo generativo en tiempo real a escala global.

«La plataforma de vídeo en tiempo real de Reactor exige una infraestructura de inferencia capaz de funcionar a la velocidad de la interacción, no solo a la de la generación, y AWS es inigualable a la hora de resolver los problemas de latencia, escalabilidad y fiabilidad que requieren estas cargas de trabajo», afirmó Jason Bennett, vicepresidente y director global de Startups y Capital de Riesgo en AWS. «La IA rentable comienza con una inferencia de menor coste. Desde chips diseñados específicamente para este fin hasta servicios de IA flexibles, AWS se encuentra en una posición privilegiada para ayudar a plataformas como Reactor a escalar el vídeo generativo en tiempo real de forma económica para desarrolladores de todo el mundo».

La plataforma está disponible actualmente a través de SDK y API. El precio se basa en el uso y se factura según el tipo de modelo. Los desarrolladores pueden comenzar en reactor.inc.

Funding led by Lightspeed with participation from WndrCo, Amplify Partners and others, Reactor provides the infrastructure layer for real-time generative video

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2026 — Reactor, the developer platform for real-time generative video, today emerged from stealth with $59 million in funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from WndrCo, Amplify Partners, Sky9 Capital, FPV Ventures, and additional investors.

Reactor is building the infrastructure layer that makes real-time world models accessible to developers, enabling a new generation of interactive AI applications across media and entertainment, physical AI, and robotics.

World models represent a fundamental shift in AI, from a tool you prompt, into an experience you can step inside and interact with in real time. This shift unlocks a new form of media: experiences that are no longer pre-rendered, but generated dynamically and shaped by user interaction.

Yet despite rapid advances from leading labs, no platform exists to run these models in production or allow developers to build applications on top of them at global scale. Reactor is addressing that need.

The Reactor platform provides a unified SDK and API that allows developers to build real-time interactive applications in just a few lines of code, without needing to manage the complexity of deploying and running these systems at scale.

“World models are redefining what AI can do, moving from systems that generate content in isolation, to ones that perceive and respond in real time,” said Alberto Taiuti, co-founder and CEO of Reactor. “We are building the critical layer between the model labs and the developers who want to create with them. This is about enabling a new form of media; one where experiences that weren’t previously possible, are generated live, and anyone can build and distribute them.”

Reactor was co-founded by Alberto Taiuti, CEO, and Bryce Schmidtchen, CTO, both former technical leads on the Apple Vision Pro. Taiuti previously co-founded Luma AI, where he served as CTO and built the infrastructure behind one of the world’s most widely used 3D and video generation platforms.

The broader team includes engineers and researchers from Apple, Netflix, Meta, Google, Adobe, Replicate, and Microsoft, with deep experience in graphics, real-time systems, interactive media, and scaling AI infrastructure.

“Real-time video models are currently inaccessible to developers due to a lack of infrastructure that can reliably serve them,” said Bucky Moore, Partner at Lightspeed. “Alberto, Bryce, and the team bring a rare combination of real-time systems expertise and product vision to this problem, and we believe Reactor is well positioned to become the foundational platform in this new category.”

Reactor is already working with partners across media and entertainment, and physical AI, with active customer demand from film and television studios, and robotics companies.

“Every major shift in media has been driven by new tools that expand what creators can do,” said Jeffrey Katzenberg, Founding Partner at WndrCo, who will join Reactor as a board observer. “AI is a transformative moment, but the real opportunity lies in making these technologies usable at scale. Reactor is building the platform that can enable a new generation of storytelling and interactive experiences.”

Leading world model developers are beginning to build on Reactor as an infrastructure layer for real-time systems. Overworld is leveraging the platform to support development around its interactive world models, demonstrating how these systems can evolve from research into fully usable, interactive experiences.

“Building world models is only part of the challenge, making them usable and responsive in real time is equally critical,” said Louis Castricato, CEO at Overworld. “Reactor provides infrastructure support that helps us bring these systems to developers and users, as we work toward building a new medium of interactive entertainment you can truly inhabit.”

Reactor’s strategic partners include Amazon Web Services (AWS), which will serve as the company’s preferred cloud provider, powering the compute infrastructure and distribution reach required to serve real-time generative video workloads at global scale.

“Reactor’s real-time video platform demands inference infrastructure that can deliver at the speed of interaction, not just the speed of generation, and AWS is unmatched in solving for the latency, scale, and reliability that these workloads require,” said Jason Bennett, VP and Global Head of Startups and Venture Capital at AWS. “Profitable AI starts with lower-cost inference. From purpose-built chips to flexible AI services, AWS is uniquely positioned to help platforms like Reactor scale real-time generative video economically to developers everywhere.”

The platform is available today via SDK and API. Pricing is usage-based, billed by model type. Developers can get started at reactor.inc

Reactor wird von Lightspeed unter Beteiligung von WndrCo, Amplify Partners und anderen finanziert und bietet die Infrastruktur für generative Echtzeit-Videos.

SAN FRANCISCO, 28. Mai 2026 — Reactor, die Entwicklerplattform für generative Echtzeit-Videos, ist heute mit einer Finanzierung in Höhe von 59 Millionen US-Dollar unter der Leitung von Lightspeed Venture Partners und mit Beteiligung von WndrCo, Amplify Partners, Sky9 Capital, FPV Ventures und weiteren Investoren aus dem Verborgenen getreten.

Reactor baut die Infrastrukturebene auf, die Entwicklern den Zugang zu Echtzeit-Weltmodellen ermöglicht und damit eine neue Generation interaktiver KI-Anwendungen in den Bereichen Medien und Unterhaltung, physische KI und Robotik schafft.

Weltmodelle stellen einen grundlegenden Wandel in der KI dar, von einem Werkzeug, das man anfordert, hin zu einer Erfahrung, in die man eintreten und mit der man in Echtzeit interagieren kann. Dieser Wandel eröffnet eine neue Form von Medien: Erlebnisse, die nicht mehr vorgerendert sind, sondern dynamisch generiert und durch die Interaktion der Nutzer geformt werden.

Doch trotz der rasanten Fortschritte führender Labors gibt es noch keine Plattform, die diese Modelle in der Produktion einsetzt oder es Entwicklern ermöglicht, darauf aufbauende Anwendungen in globalem Maßstab zu entwickeln. Reactor geht auf diesen Bedarf ein.

Die Reactor-Plattform bietet ein einheitliches SDK und eine API, die es Entwicklern ermöglicht, interaktive Echtzeitanwendungen mit nur wenigen Zeilen Code zu erstellen, ohne die Komplexität der Bereitstellung und des Betriebs dieser Systeme in großem Maßstab bewältigen zu müssen.

„Weltmodelle definieren neu, was KI leisten kann. Wir bewegen uns von Systemen, die isoliert Inhalte generieren, zu solchen, die in Echtzeit wahrnehmen und reagieren”, sagt Alberto Taiuti, Mitbegründer und CEO von Reactor. „Wir bilden die kritische Schicht zwischen den Modelllabors und den Entwicklern, die mit ihnen arbeiten wollen. Es geht darum, eine neue Form von Medien zu ermöglichen, bei der Erlebnisse, die vorher nicht möglich waren, live erzeugt werden, und jeder kann sie erstellen und verbreiten.”

Reactor wurde von Alberto Taiuti, CEO, und Bryce Schmidtchen, CTO, mitbegründet, die beide früher technische Leiter des Apple Vision Pro waren. Zuvor war Taiuti Mitbegründer von Luma AI, wo er als CTO tätig war und die Infrastruktur für eine der weltweit am häufigsten genutzten Plattformen zur 3D- und Videoerstellung aufbaute.

Zum Team gehören Ingenieure und Forscher von Apple, Netflix, Meta, Google, Adobe, Replicate und Microsoft mit umfassender Erfahrung in den Bereichen Grafik, Echtzeitsysteme, interaktive Medien und Skalierung der KI-Infrastruktur.

„Echtzeit-Videomodelle sind derzeit für Entwickler unzugänglich, da es an einer Infrastruktur fehlt, die sie zuverlässig bedienen kann”, sagt Bucky Moore, Partner bei Lightspeed. „Alberto, Bryce und das Team bringen eine seltene Kombination von Echtzeitsystem-Know-how und Produktvision für dieses Problem mit, und wir glauben, dass Reactor gut positioniert ist, um die grundlegende Plattform in dieser neuen Kategorie zu werden.”

Reactor arbeitet bereits mit Partnern aus den Bereichen Medien und Unterhaltung sowie physische KI zusammen und verzeichnet eine rege Kundennachfrage von Film- und Fernsehstudios sowie Robotikunternehmen.

„Jede größere Veränderung in den Medien wurde von neuen Werkzeugen vorangetrieben, die die Möglichkeiten von Kreativen erweitern”, sagte Jeffrey Katzenberg, Gründungspartner von WndrCo, der sich Reactor als Beobachter im Vorstand anschließen wird. „KI ist ein transformativer Moment, aber die wahre Chance liegt darin, diese Technologien in großem Maßstab nutzbar zu machen. Reactor baut die Plattform, die eine neue Generation von Geschichten und interaktiven Erlebnissen ermöglichen kann.”

Führende Entwickler von Weltmodellen beginnen, auf Reactor als Infrastrukturschicht für Echtzeitsysteme zu bauen. Overworld nutzt die Plattform, um die Entwicklung seiner interaktiven Weltmodelle zu unterstützen und zu zeigen, wie sich diese Systeme von der Forschung zu vollständig nutzbaren, interaktiven Erfahrungen entwickeln können.

„Die Erstellung von Weltmodellen ist nur ein Teil der Herausforderung. Ebenso wichtig ist es, sie in Echtzeit nutzbar und reaktionsfähig zu machen”, sagt Louis Castricato, CEO von Overworld. „Reactor bietet Infrastruktur-Support, der uns hilft, diese Systeme für Entwickler und Nutzer bereitzustellen, während wir daran arbeiten, ein neues Medium der interaktiven Unterhaltung zu schaffen, das man wirklich bewohnen kann.”

Zu den strategischen Partnern von Reactor gehört Amazon Web Services (AWS), der bevorzugte Cloud-Anbieter des Unternehmens, der die Recheninfrastruktur und die Verteilungsreichweite bereitstellt, die für die Bereitstellung von generativen Echtzeit-Videoworkloads in globalem Maßstab erforderlich sind.

„Die Echtzeit-Videoplattform von Reactor erfordert eine Inferenzinfrastruktur, die mit der Geschwindigkeit der Interaktion und nicht nur mit der Geschwindigkeit der Generierung arbeiten kann, und AWS ist unübertroffen bei der Lösung für die Latenz, Skalierung und Zuverlässigkeit, die diese Arbeitslasten erfordern”, sagte Jason Bennett, VP und Global Head of Startups and Venture Capital bei AWS. „Gewinnbringende KI beginnt mit kostengünstigerer Inferenz. Von speziell angefertigten Chips bis hin zu flexiblen KI-Services ist AWS einzigartig positioniert, um Plattformen wie Reactor dabei zu helfen, generative Echtzeit-Videos für Entwickler überall wirtschaftlich zu skalieren.”

Die Plattform ist ab heute über SDK und API verfügbar. Die Preise sind nutzungsabhängig und werden nach Modelltyp abgerechnet. Entwickler können sich unter reactor.inc anmelden.

Financé par Lightspeed avec la participation de WndrCo, Amplify Partners et d’autres, Reactor fournit une couche d’infrastructure pour la vidéo générative en temps réel

SAN FRANCISCO, 28 mai 2026 — Reactor, la plateforme de développement pour la vidéo générative en temps réel, est sortie aujourd’hui de sa dormance avec un financement de 59 millions de dollars mené par Lightspeed Venture Partners, avec la participation de WndrCo, Amplify Partners, Sky9 Capital, FPV Ventures et d’autres investisseurs.

Reactor construit la couche d’infrastructure qui rend les modèles mondiaux en temps réel accessibles aux développeurs, permettant ainsi une nouvelle génération d’applications d’IA interactives dans les domaines des médias et du divertissement, de l’IA physique et de la robotique.

Les modèles mondiaux représentent un changement fondamental dans l’IA : d’un outil auquel vous envoyiez une invite, ils deviennent une expérience dans laquelle vous pouvez entrer et avec laquelle vous pouvez interagir en temps réel. Cette évolution ouvre la voie à une nouvelle forme de média : des expériences qui ne sont plus pré-rendues, mais générées dynamiquement et façonnées par l’interaction de l’utilisateur.

Pourtant, malgré les progrès rapides réalisés par les principaux laboratoires, il n’existe aucune plateforme permettant de faire fonctionner ces modèles en production ou de permettre aux développeurs de créer des applications à partir de ces modèles à l’échelle mondiale. Reactor répond à ce besoin.

La plateforme Reactor fournit un SDK et une API unifiés qui permettent aux développeurs de créer des applications interactives en temps réel en quelques lignes de code seulement, sans avoir à gérer la complexité du déploiement et de l’exploitation de ces systèmes à l’échelle.

« Les modèles mondiaux redéfinissent ce que l’IA peut faire, en passant de systèmes qui génèrent du contenu de manière isolée à des systèmes qui perçoivent et réagissent en temps réel », déclare Alberto Taiuti, cofondateur et CEO de Reactor. « Nous construisons la couche critique entre les laboratoires de modélisation et les développeurs qui veulent créer avec eux. Il s’agit de permettre une nouvelle forme de média, où des expériences qui n’étaient pas possibles auparavant sont générées en direct, et où tout le monde peut les créer et les distribuer. »

Reactor a été cofondé par Alberto Taiuti, CEO, et Bryce Schmidtchen, CTO, tous deux anciens responsables techniques de l’Apple Vision Pro. Taiuti a précédemment cofondé Luma AI, où il a occupé le poste de directeur technique et mis en place l’infrastructure à la base de l’une des plateformes de génération de vidéos et de 3D les plus utilisées au monde.

L’équipe élargie comprend des ingénieurs et des chercheurs d’Apple, de Netflix, de Meta, de Google, d’Adobe, de Replicate et de Microsoft, qui possèdent une grande expérience en matière de graphisme, de systèmes en temps réel, de médias interactifs et de mise à l’échelle de l’infrastructure de l’IA.

« Les modèles vidéo en temps réel sont actuellement inaccessibles aux développeurs en raison du manque d’infrastructure capable de les servir de manière fiable », déclare Bucky Moore, partner, Lightspeed. « Alberto, Bryce et l’équipe apportent une combinaison rare d’expertise en systèmes temps réel et de vision du produit à ce problème, et nous pensons que Reactor est bien placé pour devenir la plateforme de base de cette nouvelle catégorie. »

Reactor travaille déjà avec des partenaires dans les domaines des médias et du divertissement, et de l’IA physique, avec une demande active de la part de studios de cinéma et de télévision, et d’entreprises de robotique.

« Chaque changement majeur dans les médias a été motivé par de nouveaux outils qui élargissent le champ des possibles pour les créateurs », déclare Jeffrey Katzenberg, partner fondateur de WndrCo, qui rejoindra Reactor en tant qu’observateur au sein du conseil d’administration. « L’IA est un moment de transformation, mais la véritable opportunité consiste à rendre ces technologies utilisables à grande échelle. Reactor construit la plateforme qui peut permettre une nouvelle génération de récits et d’expériences interactives. »

Les principaux développeurs de modèles mondiaux commencent à utiliser Reactor comme couche d’infrastructure pour les systèmes en temps réel. Overworld exploite la plateforme pour soutenir le développement de ses modèles mondiaux interactifs, démontrant ainsi comment ces systèmes peuvent évoluer de la recherche vers des expériences interactives pleinement utilisables.

« Construire des modèles mondiaux n’est qu’une partie du défi, les rendre utilisables et réactifs en temps réel est tout aussi critique », déclare Louis Castricato, CEO d’Overworld. « Reactor fournit une infrastructure qui nous aide à mettre ces systèmes à la disposition des développeurs et des utilisateurs, alors que nous travaillons à la construction d’un nouveau média de divertissement interactif que vous pouvez vraiment habiter. »

Parmi les partenaires stratégiques de Reactor figure Amazon Web Services (AWS), qui sera le fournisseur privilégié de l’entreprise en matière d’informatique en nuage, alimentant l’infrastructure de calcul et la portée de distribution nécessaires pour servir les charges de travail de vidéo générative en temps réel à l’échelle mondiale.

« La plateforme vidéo en temps réel de Reactor exige une infrastructure d’inférence capable de fonctionner à la vitesse de l’interaction, et pas seulement à la vitesse de la génération, et AWS n’a pas son pareil pour résoudre les problèmes de latence, d’échelle et de fiabilité que ces charges de travail requièrent », déclare Jason Bennett, vice-président et responsable mondial des startups et du capital-risque chez AWS. « L’IA rentable commence par une inférence à moindre coût. Des puces spécialement conçues aux services d’IA flexibles, AWS a toutes les cartes en main pour aider les plateformes comme Reactor à mettre à l’échelle la vidéo générative en temps réel de manière économique pour les développeurs du monde entier. »

La plateforme est disponible dès aujourd’hui via SDK et API. La tarification est basée sur l’utilisation, facturée par type de modèle. Les développeurs peuvent s’inscrire sur reactor.inc.

“I was looking for a CEO who truly understands both sides, the discipline it takes to build a global business, and the magic behind creating a world-class experience for our community. Anish embodies both so naturally, and to me, that means everything,” said Bella Hadid, Founder of ‘Ôrəbella.

“I’m honored to join Orebella at such an exciting moment. What Bella has created is truly distinctive, a brand that goes beyond fragrance to capture emotion, individuality, and a genuine connection with its community. From the moment I experienced it, I saw both the strength of that foundation and the significant opportunity ahead. I look forward to partnering with Bella and the team to build on this momentum, building a distinctive brand, scaling strategically, strengthening execution, and bringing Orebella to more people around the world while staying true to what makes it so special.” – Anish Agarwal, CEO of ‘Ôrəbella.

Partnership and Platform for Growth

The Series A was led by Silas Capital, an emerging growth equity and venture capital firm focused on scaling next-generation consumer brands across beauty, wellness, and lifestyle.

“‘Ôrəbella has built a clear and differentiated position in fragrance, supported by strong early performance and a highly engaged consumer base,” said Brian Thorne, Partner at Silas Capital. “Bella’s creative direction, combined with Anish’s experienced marketing and operational leadership, positions the brand strongly for global expansion.”

Celebrands, which partnered with Hadid to incubate the brand from its earliest stage, participated in the round and continues to support the brand’s long-term development strategy.

Founder Vision Remains Central

Hadid remains deeply involved in all aspects of ‘Ôrəbella’s creative and strategic direction, including scent development, formulation philosophy, and brand storytelling. Her approach, rooted in instinct, nature, and emotional memory, continues to define the brand as it scales.

“Nothing about the way I create ever really changes, that part always stays deeply personal to me,” said Bella Hadid. “Ôrəbella has always been a true labor of love, something I’ve nurtured slowly, intentionally, and with so much heart. And now, with the right team and partners around me, I feel like I can continue to grow her into everything she was always meant to be.”

Funding will accelerate the company’s expansion as the core data infrastructure for enabling accurate, auditable AI workflows across financial services

NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 — Daloopa, the essential data infrastructure for AI and agentic workflows in finance, today announced it has raised $47 million in Series C funding led by Brighton Park Capital, with participation from Squarepoint Capital, Touring Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners. This funding will accelerate Daloopa’s platform growth as investment firms increasingly move AI systems from experimentation into production workflows, where accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable — and expand the company’s team across engineering, product, and go-to-market.

As AI agents power financial workflows, the limiting factor is whether the systems are grounded in reliable data. In high-stakes use cases like valuation, earnings analysis, and portfolio modeling, even small inconsistencies such as misaligned fiscal calendars or inconsistent metric definitions can significantly impact outcomes.

Before structured data infrastructure, analysts were forced to spend hours manually collecting and entering data from company filings, and validating whether each datapoint was correct. AI tools also face a data accuracy problem as most rely on web-sourced inputs that are not standardized or source-linked, inheriting those inconsistencies and producing outputs that are often unreliable.

Daloopa addresses this by providing structured, source-linked financial data that investors can reliably use. The platform now covers over 5,500 public companies globally, delivers up to 10 times more data points per company than other providers, and each datapoint is linked to its original source for auditability. Investment firms trust Daloopa to power workflows ranging from quarterly analysis and scenario modeling to AI-assisted research and reporting.

“We’re seeing firms move from early experimentation toward deploying AI in real investment workflows, and that changes the requirements entirely,” said Thomas Li, CEO of Daloopa. “It’s no longer enough for models to simply generate answers; they must be accurate and fully traceable. Our focus is on building the data infrastructure that makes that possible, so firms can trust what AI is producing.”

The funding follows a series of recent product and partnership milestones that position Daloopa at the center of the emerging AI investment research stack. The company recently:

• Expanded access to its data through MCP connectors with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Perplexity, and Rogo – bringing structured financial data directly into the tools analysts already use
• Published a benchmark study showing AI agent accuracy improved up to 71 percentage points, when grounded in structured, auditable financial data versus web-based retrieval
• Added new platform capabilities, including programmatic access via API, as well as cloud-native delivery via Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS S3.

Daloopa is also introducing a Partner API, unlocking third party product use cases. The new offering enables select partners and startup developers to leverage best-in-class financial data to build AI workflows and to reference within their product suite.

Together, these developments underscore a broader shift in the market: the bottleneck in AI-driven finance is not model intelligence, but data infrastructure.

“Daloopa is solving one of the most consequential data challenges in financial services,” said Tim Drager, Partner at Brighton Park Capital. “As AI becomes embedded in financial decision-making and core investment workflows, the firms that succeed will be those with the strongest data foundations. Daloopa has built exactly that and is already trusted by over 160 financial institutions, which speaks to both the quality of the platform and the urgency of this problem. We are thrilled to partner with Thomas and the team as they continue to define this category.”

Brighton Park Capital was supported by Special Advisor, Phil Hadley, former CEO and Chairman of Factset in their evaluation of Daloopa.  

That momentum is also reflected in how investment firms are engaging with Daloopa. A growing number of customers are already using the platform to operationalize AI in production workflows, and in some cases, firsthand experience with the technology has also led to investment conviction.

The company has also continued to scale rapidly, doubling revenue over the past year while expanding coverage and deepening integrations across the AI ecosystem. As firms push toward greater automation, Daloopa is becoming a core part of the infrastructure that enables AI and agentic workflows in financial services.

The round was co-led by Heavybit and Seligman Ventures, and will support the launch of Rote, a local execution layer that makes agent workflows dependable in production.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2026 — Modiqo, an AI infrastructure company, today announced $3 million in pre-seed funding to help companies turn AI experiments into systems they can actually depend on. The round was co-led by Heavybit and Seligman Ventures, with participation from Irregular Expressions and angel investors.

Most companies have discovered that getting an AI agent to work once is easy. Getting it to work reliably — every day, across changing models and volatile APIs — is where the trouble starts. Teams spend more time rebuilding workflows that quietly broke overnight than getting new value from AI.

“AI workflows today are like sandcastles. They look impressive when you build them, then wash away the moment anything changes,” said Chetan Conikee, Founder and CEO of Modiqo. “Companies are paying their best people to rebuild the same things again and again. Rote captures what worked the first time and locks it in, so teams can move forward instead of starting over.”

With this funding, Modiqo launched Rote, a tool that watches what an AI agent does when it succeeds, then turns that success into a reliable, repeatable process the company owns. Rote helps teams:

• Make AI work the same way every time — no more surprises when a model, APIs or system updates
• Plug into the tools you already use — without expensive engineering work
• Cut AI costs significantly — by reusing proven workflows instead of paying for the AI to figure them out from scratch each time
• See exactly what’s happening — what ran, when, and what it cost

“The industry is quickly realizing that building capable AI agents is only part of the challenge, operating them reliably at scale is the harder problem,” said Umesh Padval, Managing Partner, Seligman Ventures. “Modiqo is building a critical foundational AI infrastructure layer that enables teams to deploy AI workflows reliably at a fraction of the token cost. I am excited to partner with Chetan again to build a successful company.”

“Today’s AI agents are impressive in the demo and unreliable in production,” said Joseph Ruscio, General Partner at Heavybit. “The deeper problem isn’t agent capability — it’s that every agent run is effectively a one-off chat log rather than an artifact that can be proven and iterated on. Teams pay the same rediscovery tax over and over, and the abstractions emerging around them weren’t built to survive change. Modiqo’s Rote captures what worked the first time and turns it into deterministic code — cutting token usage, reserving inference for the parts that genuinely need it, and reining in the context bloat plaguing today’s agent stacks. Chetan and his team are building the execution layer agents need to graduate from experiment to production infrastructure, and Heavybit is proud to back them from Day 0.”

“Every serious team running agents is hitting the same wall: reliability, cost, and reproducibility,” said Jean Sini, founding partner at Irregular Expressions. “Modiqo is the first team I’ve seen attack all three at the execution layer rather than the prompt layer.”

Silicon Road Ventures leads latest investment round as Rep AI expands its unified AI platform designed to improve conversion, customer experience, and operational efficiency

NEW YORK and TEL AVIV, Israel, May 28, 2026 — Rep AI, an AI platform purpose-built for ecommerce brands and online retailers, today announced it has raised $6.2 million in strategic follow-on funding. The round was led by Silicon Road Ventures, with participation from Osage Venture Partners, Flashpoint Venture Capital, and strategic investor Zendesk.

This latest raise marks the second tranche of Rep AI’s funding in approximately 20 months, building on the company’s initial $8.2 million Series A round announced in August 2024. The new capital will accelerate product innovation, expand market reach, and support enterprise growth as Rep AI strengthens its position in the evolving ecommerce AI sector.

Rep AI’s platform helps brands unify customer engagement across the full shopping journey – from identifying shopper intent before purchase to improving conversion and streamlining post-purchase support. By consolidating fragmented AI and customer experience tools into a single platform, Rep AI addresses growing demand for more efficient, revenue-focused ecommerce operations.

“ecommerce brands are increasingly overwhelmed by disconnected technology stacks that create operational silos and missed revenue opportunities,” said Yoav Oz, co-founder and CEO, Rep AI. “This funding further validates our vision of building a unified AI operating system for ecommerce – one that helps brands better understand shopper behavior, improve conversion, and deliver stronger customer experiences from first interaction through long-term loyalty.”

“The industry is moving beyond isolated AI tools toward integrated systems that can influence the entire customer journey across ecommerce,” said Shauli Mizrahi, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Rep AI. “Our focus has always been on building an infrastructure that drives measurable business outcomes while simplifying how brands deploy and scale AI.”

As enterprise AI adoption accelerates, investors are backing platforms that can move beyond fragmented experimentation and deliver scalable business value. According to McKinsey’s 2025 State of AI report, 78% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, reflecting a significant shift from experimentation to operational deployment. However, many organizations continue to face challenges tied to siloed AI systems and fragmented implementations – creating demand for more unified, enterprise-grade platforms.

“Brands are seeking scalable, revenue-driving agentic AI infrastructure rather than isolated point solutions,” said Sid Mookerji, Managing Partner at lead investor, Silicon Road Ventures. “Rep AI is emerging as a leader in ecommerce’s fastest-growing technology categories by replacing fragmented systems with a more cohesive, intelligent platform.”

Zendesk’s strategic investment represents more than just capital – it signals validation from one of customer experience technology’s most influential companies and reinforces the growing convergence of customer service, sales, and revenue generation.

“A great retail experience feels like a knowledgeable sales concierge, one that asks the right questions to understand your needs, knows the products inside and out, and can help with everything from discovery to returns. True AI integration in retail requires more than a chatbot; it requires a deep understanding of shopper behavior and product data. Rep AI’s platform demonstrates how behavioral AI can bridge the gap between site visits and completed purchases, offering a personalized concierge at scale. We’re pleased to support the team as they continue to refine the intersection of CX and commerce,” said Adrian McDermott, CTO, Zendesk.
