Windsor Capital schließt strategische Investition in Höhe von 50 Millionen US-Dollar in Space Labs ab

Die Investition für eine Minderheitsbeteiligung von 4,9 % impliziert eine Post-Money-Bewertung des slowenischen Technologieunternehmens von rund 1 Milliarde US-Dollar.

HONGKONG und LJUBLJANA, Slowenien, 24. September 2026 — Windsor Capital gab heute den Abschluss einer strategischen Investition in Höhe von 50 Millionen US-Dollar in Space Labs d.o.o. bekannt, ein slowenisches Technologieunternehmen, das proprietäre Protokolle, Blockchain-Infrastruktur und digitale Wirtschaftssysteme für Anwendungen in der realen Welt entwickelt.

Die Investition erfolgte im Gegenzug für eine Minderheitsbeteiligung von 4,9 % an Space Labs, was einer Post-Money-Bewertung von rund 1,02 Milliarden US-Dollar entspricht.

Die Transaktion schließt einen mehr als zweijährigen Prozess ab, der die Erfüllung vertraglicher Meilensteine sowie eine finanzielle, technische und rechtliche Due-Diligence-Prüfung umfasste.

Das Primärkapital in Höhe von 50 Millionen US-Dollar wird die internationale Expansion von Space Labs unterstützen und die Entwicklung seiner technologischen Infrastruktur sowie seiner Anwendungen für den realen Einsatz beschleunigen.

Im Mittelpunkt der Technologie von Space Labs steht das RWD-Protokoll – Real World Digitalization Protocol – das darauf ausgelegt ist, reale Projekte und Unternehmen über Blockchain, Smart Contracts und transparente digitale Prozesse mit Kapital und globalen Gemeinschaften zu vernetzen. Anstatt Vermögenswerte lediglich zu tokenisieren, zielt RWD darauf ab, die Beteiligung selbst zu digitalisieren.

Als erste kommerzielle Zusammenarbeit entwickeln Space Labs und Windsor Capital einen Vertriebskanal für Fahrzeuge über das internationale Automobil- und Industrienetzwerk von Windsor, wobei der Vertrieb schrittweise auf mehrere internationale Märkte ausgeweitet werden soll.

„Bei dieser Partnerschaft geht es um weit mehr als nur Kapital. Die Investition in Höhe von 50 Millionen Dollar verleiht Space Labs finanzielle Stärke, während Windsor globale Beziehungen und praktische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in die von uns aufgebaute technologische Infrastruktur einbringt”, sagte Igor Šinkovec, Gründer und CEO von Space Labs.

Space Labs hat eine Technologie entwickelt, die eine globale Chance erschließt. In Verbindung mit dem internationalen Netzwerk von Windsor ist diese Partnerschaft unserer Ansicht nach in der Lage, etwas zu schaffen, das weit über das hinausgeht, was jede der beiden Seiten für sich allein erreichen könnte”, sagte John M. Probandt, Vorsitzender, Gründer und CEO von Windsor Capital.

Space Labs d.o.o. ist ein slowenisches Technologieunternehmen, das eigene Protokolle, Blockchain-Infrastruktur, Smart Contracts und digitale Wirtschaftssysteme für Anwendungen in der realen Welt entwickelt, darunter das RWD-Protokoll und das SpaceM-Technologie-Ökosystem.

Windsor Capital completa una inversión estratégica de 50 millones de dólares en Space Labs

La inversión por una participación minoritaria del 4,9 % implica una valoración post-money de aproximadamente 1.000 millones de dólares para la empresa tecnológica eslovena.

HONG KONG y LIUBLIANA, Eslovenia, 24 de septiembre de 2026 — Windsor Capital anunció hoy la finalización de una inversión estratégica de 50 millones de dólares en Space Labs d.o.o., una empresa tecnológica eslovena que desarrolla protocolos propios, infraestructura blockchain y sistemas económicos digitales para aplicaciones en el mundo real.

La inversión se realizó para adquirir una participación minoritaria del 4,9 % en Space Labs, lo que implica una valoración post-money de aproximadamente 1.020 millones de dólares.

La operación culmina un proceso de más de dos años, que incluyó el cumplimiento de hitos contractuales y la realización de procesos de diligencia debida en los ámbitos financiero, técnico y legal.

Los 50 millones de dólares de capital primario respaldarán la expansión internacional de Space Labs y acelerarán el desarrollo de su infraestructura tecnológica y de sus aplicaciones en el mundo real.

El núcleo de la tecnología de Space Labs es el protocolo RWD (Real World Digitalization Protocol), diseñado para conectar proyectos y empresas del mundo real con capital y comunidades globales mediante blockchain, contratos inteligentes y procesos digitales transparentes. Más allá de la simple tokenización de activos, el protocolo RWD está concebido para digitalizar la participación misma.

Como colaboración comercial inicial, Space Labs y Windsor Capital están desarrollando un canal de distribución de vehículos a través de la red internacional de automoción e industria de Windsor, con una distribución escalonada en múltiples mercados internacionales.

“Esta alianza va mucho más allá del capital. La inversión de 50 millones de dólares aporta solidez financiera a Space Labs, mientras que Windsor suma relaciones globales y oportunidades en el mundo real a la infraestructura tecnológica que hemos desarrollado”, afirmó Igor Šinkovec, fundador y consejero delegado de Space Labs.

“Space Labs ha creado tecnología que responde a una oportunidad global. Creemos que, al combinarla con la red internacional de Windsor, esta alianza puede generar algo de una magnitud significativamente mayor a lo que cualquiera de las partes podría haber logrado por sí sola”, señaló John M. Probandt, presidente del consejo, fundador y consejero delegado de Windsor Capital.

Arcventis Health Partners Makes a Majority Growth Investment in Aligned Modern Health, a National Leader in Functional Medicine and Hormone Health

Aligned Modern Health Positioned for Accelerated Growth with Focus on National Telehealth Expansion and Launch of Peptide Therapy

CHICAGO, Sept. 24, 2026 — Aligned Modern Health (AMH), a recognized national leader in Functional Medicine and Hormone Health, announced a majority growth investment from Arcventis Health Partners (Arcventis) with Harbour Point Capital (HPC) remaining as a meaningful investor. The partnership marks a major milestone in Aligned Modern Health’s growth story.

Founded in Chicago, Aligned Modern Health is redefining personalized healthcare through an evidence-based, root-cause-focused approach, addressing demand from patients seeking better management of chronic conditions, relief from unresolved symptoms and a clear path to long-term wellness. Aligned Modern Health has built patient trust through a physician-led care model, combining expert clinical oversight and data-driven diagnostics, with personalized, whole-person treatment plans. Accepting most major insurances for visits and bloodwork, Aligned Modern Health makes care more accessible for thousands of patients who don’t have the means to afford self-pay or concierge rates.

“Arcventis partners with exceptional teams at critical inflection points where the combination of capital and strategic support can meaningfully accelerate growth. Aligned Modern Health is exactly that kind of opportunity. The team has built a differentiated, patient-centered platform at the intersection of preventive care and longevity medicine, women’s health, and chronic disease management. Working alongside HPC, we are excited to support the team at Aligned Modern Health to expand its reach and deepen its impact,” said Fazeela Abdul Rashid, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Arcventis Health Partners.

“Harbour Point Capital has been an extraordinary partner, and we’ve been so fortunate for their guidance in building Aligned Modern Health into the organization it is today. At this important moment, we’re thrilled to usher in our next phase of growth with the deep expertise and resources of the Arcventis team. At Aligned Modern Health, we believe healthcare is personal and should be tailored to each patient’s needs. This partnership enables us to make our personalized approach to care more accessible to patients across the country as we expand our presence nationally, broaden our clinical offerings, invest in our digital patient experience, and grow our provider and clinical teams,” said Virginia Materese, CEO of Aligned Modern Health.

“It’s been a privilege to watch Virginia and her team transform Aligned Modern Health into a national platform with a rapidly scaling virtual care practice,” said Bret Bowerman, Co-Founder and Partner at Harbour Point Capital. “This growth investment reflects the strength of the business, the exceptional management team and a differentiated model that positions the company for significant growth. We’re looking forward to working closely with Fazeela and the Arcventis team to fuel future expansion.”

Expanding Clinical Services into Peptide Therapy

Aligned Modern Health’s launch of Peptide Therapy represents the latest expansion of its clinical offerings, following the successful 2025 launch of Hormone Replacement Therapy for men and women.

“Whether focusing on weight management through GLP-1s, addressing age-related hormone changes for patients in perimenopause, menopause or andropause, or supporting performance and recovery goals through other clinically supervised peptide protocols, it’s critical that patients receiving these treatments have comprehensive care that includes access to the full range of lifestyle, nutritional, and supplement guidance central to functional medicine’s whole-body approach,” said Materese. “It’s not about treating patients in isolation. It’s about providing the right clinical oversight as patients gain access to more treatment options than ever before.”

About Aligned Modern Health

Aligned Modern Health is creating a new standard of healthcare, empowering people to live their healthiest lives through a clear, trustworthy and compassionate path to better health. Using advanced diagnostics and a physician-led, root-cause focused model of care, Aligned Modern Health’s collaborative team of 100+ doctors, nurse practitioners, and clinicians provide personalized care across Functional Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy, newly launched Peptide Therapy, Chiropractic Care, and Acupuncture.

IPID lève 16 millions de dollars alors que les paiements instantanés mettent en évidence un angle mort de plus en plus important à l’échelle mondiale

Foundation Capital mène ce tour de table de série A, auquel participent Citi et HSBC

NEW YORK et SINGAPOUR, 24 septembre 2026 — IPID, société spécialisée dans l’intelligence des paiements qui aide les institutions à identifier les bénéficiaires de leurs paiements, a annoncé une levée de fonds de série A de 16 millions de dollars menée par Foundation Capital, avec la participation des investisseurs stratégiques Citi et HSBC. Cette levée de fonds compte également parmi ses participants les investisseurs existants QED Investors, Monk’s Hill Ventures et Quona Capital.

Les paiements numériques sont désormais plus rapides et plus fluides, mais les informations nécessaires à leur évaluation n’ont pas toujours suivi le rythme. Les établissements ne savent pas toujours à qui est destiné un paiement ni ne disposent pas toujours d’informations suffisantes pour évaluer le risque avant de l’effectuer. C’est souvent à l’expéditeur qu’il incombe de vérifier l’identité du destinataire, même lorsque cet expéditeur est lui-même la cible d’une arnaque. Selon LSEG, la fraude liée aux paiements par virement autorisés devrait, à elle seule, entraîner 331 milliards de dollars de pertes à l’échelle mondiale d’ici 2027.

IPID est l’un des principaux prestataires mondiaux de services de vérification de comptes bancaires, au service de grandes institutions financières dans plus de 50 pays. Elle va bientôt étendre sa plateforme en mettant à profit son expertise des marchés fragmentés des paiements pour s’attaquer aux paiements et aux actifs numériques aux États-Unis, offrant ainsi aux institutions les informations nécessaires pour prendre la bonne décision avant le transfert des fonds.

« Chaque paiement commence par une décision, mais les établissements prennent souvent cette décision sur la base d’informations incomplètes », a déclaré Damien Dugauquier, cofondateur et PDG d’IPID. « Nous avons commencé par mettre en place un système de vérification des comptes bancaires à l’échelle mondiale. Nous développons actuellement les outils d’intelligence décisionnelle plus complets dont les institutions ont besoin avant tout transfert de fonds, quel que soit le pays, le canal de paiement ou la forme de valeur concerné. L’avenir des paiements ne se résumera pas à une simple accélération des transferts d’argent. Cela se traduira par la prise de meilleures décisions avant le transfert de l’argent. »

« IPID s’est rapidement imposée comme la référence mondiale en matière de vérification et d’analyse des comptes bancaires. C’est un véritable exploit qu’un projet de ce type puisse voir le jour en dehors d’un consortium bancaire, ce qui confère à IPID une position unique pour aider les institutions financières et les payeurs du monde entier à lutter contre la fraude et à rationaliser leurs opérations de paiement », a déclaré Zach Noorani, associé chez Foundation Capital.

Les paiements gagnent en rapidité et en automatisation à mesure que les paiements en temps réel se généralisent, que de nouvelles infrastructures voient le jour et que des agents basés sur l’IA commencent à initier des transactions. Mais les informations dont les établissements ont besoin avant d’effectuer un paiement restent dispersées entre les différents marchés, prestataires et canaux de paiement. IPID tente de remédier à cette lacune en aidant les établissements à identifier le titulaire du compte bénéficiaire avant que le paiement ne soit définitif.

« Dans un environnement financier de plus en plus numérique et interconnecté, il est essentiel de disposer d’un système de validation des paiements instantané et hautement sécurisé. Notre alliance stratégique avec IPID s’est encore renforcée grâce à notre participation à leur levée de fonds de série A. Nous sommes ravis qu’IPID soit en mesure d’offrir une expérience homogène à l’échelle mondiale et hautement performante, qui aide nos clients à continuer d’optimiser leurs opérations internationales en toute confiance », a déclaré Bis Chatterjee, responsable mondial des partenariats et de l’innovation pour la division Services de Citi.

Tom Simpson, responsable mondial de la compensation des opérations de change et responsable régional pour l’Amérique du Nord des paiements transfrontaliers au sein de la division Global Payment Solutions de HSBC, a déclaré : « L’accord conclu entre HSBC et IPID nous permet d’étendre la validation des bénéficiaires au-delà des exigences des systèmes locaux et de fournir davantage d’informations à nos clients lors de l’exécution de leurs paiements. Cela peut contribuer à améliorer l’efficacité et la fiabilité dans un écosystème de paiement de plus en plus dynamique. »

IPID utilisera ces fonds pour renforcer son réseau mondial d’informations sur les paiements, accélérer sa croissance aux États-Unis et en Europe, et développer de nouvelles fonctionnalités permettant aux institutions de prendre des décisions plus éclairées et de rationaliser leurs opérations de paiement avant que les fonds ne transitent par les réseaux de paiement américains, les stablecoins et les actifs numériques.

À propos d’IPID

IPID fournit des informations décisionnelles aux banques, aux prestataires de services de paiement (PSP), aux plateformes et aux entreprises qui effectuent des transferts d’argent. Tout au long du cycle de vie des paiements, IPID les aide à vérifier l’identité des bénéficiaires et à évaluer les risques de fraude, à respecter leurs obligations réglementaires, à évaluer les risques, à monétiser les paiements et à enrichir les données relatives aux paiements. Cela leur apporte sécurité, maîtrise et tranquillité d’esprit, tout en réduisant la fraude et les coûts opérationnels, ce qui se traduit par une meilleure expérience client.  www.ipid.tech  

Dinari Expands Business Development Team to Scale Institutional Adoption of Tokenized Equities

Senior appointments bring experience across institutional finance, asset management, investment products, and decentralized markets.

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 — Dinari, a financial infrastructure company enabling the issuance, distribution and trading of tokenized equities, today announced the appointment of Umair Dandia, Vera Wang, and Isha Varshney to its business development team. The appointments strengthen Dinari’s team across the institutions and markets driving adoption of tokenized equities, from broker-dealers and asset managers to digital asset platforms and protocols.

The appointments expand Dinari’s business development organization across three areas central to the company’s institutional strategy: integrating tokenized equities into existing financial institutions, enabling new investment products built with tokenized securities, and extending their utility across decentralized markets. Each appointment brings experience directly aligned with these areas of growth:

Umair Dandia, VP of Institutional Solutions, brings more than two decades of experience across investment products and asset management, including a combined 18 years with Goldman Sachs and State Street. At Goldman, he launched active fixed income and equity ETFs representing more than $13 billion in assets under management; at State Street, he managed strategic sub-advisory and index relationships. He joins Dinari to work with asset managers and financial institutions developing and distributing investment products using tokenized securities infrastructure.

Vera Wang, VP of Institutional Business, will lead the expansion of Dinari’s relationships with broker-dealers, financial institutions and other institutional market participants. Wang previously advised global financial institutions on digital asset strategy and product implementation at McKinsey. Prior, she worked at JPMorgan, supporting Asian family offices investing in U.S. markets, and led US digital assets initiatives in-house at a large Hong Kong-based family office.

Isha Varshney, VP of Partnerships, will lead Dinari’s partnerships across decentralized financial markets and international fintechs, expanding the integration and utility of dShares™ across new markets, platforms and trading venues. Varshney most recently served as Head of Revenue Operations at Artemis and previously led ecosystem strategy and partnerships at the Celo Foundation, focused on expanding the network’s institutional and developer ecosystem. Earlier in her career, she co-founded Wealth Boost Investments, where she served as COO, and held roles in banking at M Holdings and private equity at Westmont.

The appointments come as financial institutions increasingly evaluate tokenization across brokerage, asset management and digital asset markets. With the market for tokenized real-world assets projected to reach $14 trillion by 2030, institutions are building the products and distribution channels to participate in this growing market.

Following its U.S. launch in August, Dinari now provides more than 700 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, including the entire S&P 500, to eligible investors in the United States and more than 85 jurisdictions globally. Its infrastructure enables broker-dealers, fintechs, wallets, exchanges and other financial institutions to integrate tokenized equities directly into their products and platforms.

Dinari has built its tokenization infrastructure to carry the rights and economic characteristics of traditional securities, including dividends, voting and corporate actions, into new models for distribution, trading and investment products. The expanded business development team will focus on bringing that infrastructure to a broader range of broker-dealers, asset managers and financial platforms.

About Dinari
Dinari is a financial infrastructure company enabling the issuance, distribution and trading of tokenized equities. Through dShares™, Dinari provides investors and financial institutions access to more than 700 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs through a custodial model designed to preserve the rights and protections of traditional securities. dShares™ are available to eligible investors in the United States and 85+ international jurisdictions. Dinari is an SEC-registered transfer agent, and Dinari Securities LLC is a FINRA member broker-dealer.

Aithon Launches AWS Co-Sell to Automate Funding Benefits for AWS Partners Selling into Financial Services

AWS Marketplace engagement and propensity signals so sellers close faster with AWS behind the deal and alliance leaders capture funding before it expires.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 — Aithon, the only AI-native Go-to-Market (GTM) platform purpose-built for regulated Financial Services, today announced Aithon Co-Sell. Aithon connects to AWS Partner Central to bring the Amazon Web Services (AWS) co-sell motion into the seller’s workflow: AWS propensity signals and funding eligibility on every opportunity.

“Our customers’ best deals are the ones AWS is leaning into — buyers with committed cloud spend to burn down, accounts AWS has flagged as in-market,” said Nitin Gupta, CEO of Aithon. “Aithon Co-Sell puts those AWS signals next to every seller’s account and funding eligibility next to every deal, and files both into AWS Partner Central. Sellers work the right accounts with AWS behind them; alliance leaders stop leaving funding on the table.”

Today, co-sell runs outside the seller’s day. Which accounts AWS considers in-market, which buyers show a strong propensity in AWS Marketplace, and which programs a deal qualifies for all live in AWS Partner Central. As a result, sales pipeline is built without AWS behind it and funding goes unclaimed. Aithon enriches every account with AWS propensity signals, with more than 4,000 leads across roughly 900 accounts already enriched since launch. Every opportunity shows AWS’s own eligibility verdict across more than 25 funding programs, what is needed to unlock each, and submission into AWS Partner Central.

“Putting more AWS investment behind the right deals accelerates outcomes for our customers and deepens our relationship with AWS,” said Michelle Eatherton, Chief Business Officer at Liminal.ai.

“Our sellers see which accounts AWS views as in-market and how much AWS budget a deal can draw, in the screen they work every day. Deals move faster,” said Steve Herlocher, SVP Sales and Marketing at USAN.

“Co-sell has always been one of our strongest channels, and Aithon lets us scale it without adding headcount,” said Praveen Jayakumar, Co-Founder at Aivar. “Aithon surfaces the programs our deals qualify for, so our sellers can actually use the funding available to them and close faster.”

Aithon Co-Sell is available now for ACE-eligible AWS Partners selling into regulated industries. It is accessible inside the Aithon platform, in Slack and Microsoft Teams, and through MCP in Claude and ChatGPT; and is transactable in AWS Marketplace.

About Aithon

Aithon is a revenue generation platform for AWS partners. Aithon brings a full stack of GTM agents indicating propensity to buy, stakeholder insights, cloud commit, and workflows to help you generate and close new business. Learn more at aithon.ai.

NEKO HEALTH OPENS ITS DOORS IN NEW YORK, BRINGING THE MOST VALUABLE HOUR IN HEALTHCARE TO AMERICA

Booking begins today at Neko’s first U.S. clinic in SoHo, where breakthrough technology and prevention-focused clinicians give members the bigger picture of their health in a single hour 

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 — Today marks the opening day for Neko Health in the United States, after more than 25,000 New Yorkers joined the waitlist ahead of launch. Their clinic at 300 Lafayette Street in SoHo – the first of many planned across NYC and across the country – brings Neko’s Scandinavian high-tech and high-touch experience to life. 

Across Sweden and the UK, more than 100,000 members have already experienced the Neko Health Scan. At the end of their first appointment, 75% of members book and prepay for their next scan, and after their second appointment, 80% of members book their third scan. 

The Neko Health Scan is the most valuable hour you can spend on your health. Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek (Spotify) founded Neko Health to deliver preventive healthcare at scale, shifting the focus from treating disease after it develops to helping people understand and act on their health earlier. 

Neko engineered its technology and clinical experience entirely from the ground up. In one hour, you’ll have a connected view of your skin, heart, blood, and metabolic health, all explained by a clinician before you leave. All of this for $499. 

The stakes are real: six in ten American adults live with a chronic disease, and four in ten live with two or more,1 and roughly 90% of national health spending goes toward people managing chronic and mental health conditions.1 And yet, up to 80% of premature heart disease and stroke is preventable.2 

“Hjalmar and I have talked about bringing Neko to America since the earliest days of the company because if you want to change healthcare at scale, the U.S. has to be part of that ambition,” said Daniel Ek, Co-Founder of Neko Health. “New York is the starting point. New Yorkers place an incredible value on their time and have exceptionally high expectations for how they spend it. This city doesn’t settle for good enough, and neither do we.” 

The 60-minute, radiation-free visit combines the best of human, hardware, and health intelligence: a 360-degree skin exam with 6,000 images captured via a combination of cameras in the visual spectrum as well as thermal cameras, a cardiovascular assessment, detailed body composition analysis, on-site blood testing focused on 50+ essential biomarkers, and unrushed time with a clinician to walk through results and build a plan of action. The Neko Health Scan takes roughly 30 minutes, followed by a further 30 minutes with a clinician. Together, this creates a detailed baseline that can be tracked over time and helps surface early signals before symptoms appear, often while there’s still time to act. After the appointment, members can access their results anytime through the Neko Health app on iOS and Android, which stores scan history, tracks changes over time, and syncs daily data from wearables like Oura or Whoop via Apple Health. 

The company designed and developed its own medical devices, hardware, software and systems to capture, analyze and present health data within a single experience. This allows Neko to ensure high quality, all while rapidly improving the technology, experience, and outcomes for members. 

“There’s no better time than now to bring Neko Health to America,” said Hjalmar Nilsonne, CEO and Co-Founder of Neko Health. “We’ve scanned more than 100,000 people across Sweden and the UK, and what we’ve seen is unmistakable: when people can see their health clearly and know what to do about it, they get healthier.”

In New York, Neko refers members who need additional care to vetted physicians and healthcare systems, including General Medicine, Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC), Schweiger Dermatology, and Mount Sinai Health System. This allows members to be connected quickly with high-quality, trusted clinicians when follow-up is needed, so they can move forward with confidence in the continuity of their care. Members can also be referred to their own clinicians, if they prefer.

Neko also accepts HSA and FSA payment, making the experience more accessible to New Yorkers already setting aside pre-tax dollars for their health. 

The New York opening follows Neko Health’s $700 million Series C, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and co-led by O.G. Venture Partners, with participation from Maria Sharapova, Zoe Saldaña, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Danny Meyer, Claudia Schiffer and Sir Matthew Vaughn, Thierry Henry, Tim Ferriss and will.i.am. New York marks the first step in Neko Health’s U.S. expansion. Additional New York locations and a Miami clinic are expected to follow, with Washington, D.C. and San Francisco also planned.

About Neko Health
Neko Health is a health technology company that opened its first clinic in Stockholm in 2023, founded by Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne. Neko designs and engineers its own hardware, software, and clinical protocols in-house, powering a next-generation health scan delivered across clinics in Sweden, the UK, and now the United States.

Luxor Technology Launches Full-Stack AI Infrastructure Business

Luxor extends the energy, hardware, software, compute trading, and data stack it built for Bitcoin mining into the AI infrastructure market, and opens an office in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24, 2026 — Luxor Technology, the company behind the leading Bitcoin mining software and services platform, today announced Luxor AI, a new business segment serving the AI and high-performance computing market.

Luxor AI spans the full lifecycle of an AI data center: supplying the energy to power the data center, sourcing GPUs and AI hardware, monetizing spot compute, trading compute offtake contracts, agentic cloud through Tenki Cloud, and a data and research division.

Luxor AI Full-Stack Platform:

  1. Agentic Cloud. Tenki Cloud was purpose-built for the agentic era. Its usage has reached 1.8M workloads year to date. Tenki Cloud is three developer products, built inside Luxor on bare metal Luxor owns: drop-in GitHub Actions runners, an AI code reviewer that comments on every pull request, and sandbox sessions for agentic software development.
  2. AI Hardware. Luxor’s hardware brokerage desk has traded $1bn of ASIC hardware for Bitcoin mining, and now sources GPUs and AI servers through a tiered network of partners. Luxor is a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) to the major OEMs. Luxor is also a licensed freight forwarder and Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier, helping clients move hardware domestically and globally.
  3. AI Energy. Luxor Energy, through its Retail Electric Provider (REP) license, supplies power to data centers. Through the Qualified Scheduling Entity (QSE), Luxor sends signals to data centers to respond to grid programs and participate in demand response and ancillary services programs. Luxor Energy operates in ERCOT and SPP.
  4. AI Compute. Luxor AI orchestrates physical compute contracts between operators with installed GPU capacity and enterprise buyers. Luxor also operates its own internal compute trading fund.
  5. AI Derivatives. Luxor offers an over-the-counter (OTC) platform to trade cash-settled instruments that settle on various compute-rental indexes, including options, forwards, and backstops.
  6. AI Data & Research. A suite of AI data sets, including hardware and compute price tracking, and a dedicated AI research division.

“We have been at the forefront of innovation in the compute commodities space for almost a decade. Creating novel financial instruments, helping data centers respond to energy signals, operating in application-specific and general-purpose hardware markets, and more. We are bringing our expertise and systems to the next form of compute: AI,” says Nick Hansen, CEO of Luxor.

Energy is one of the most important inputs for AI factories. The US and global market is seeing an unprecedented amount of electricity demand. To service the next wave of 100 GW+ of data center demand, operators and grids must be creative in structuring contracts. Luxor has successfully proven AI workload flexibility through ERCOT’s 4CP and soon ERS programs. Luxor Energy currently services over 75 MW of load. Luxor also helps its partners source unique power opportunities globally.

Global supply chains for GPUs and chips are becoming increasingly hard to navigate. Luxor has expertise in helping its clients locate the best supply for their needs. Having access to abandoned orders with OEMs, special allocation, and used markets, Luxor provides a unique angle to sourcing hardware. Luxor’s team of solutions architects has dozens of years of combined experience with leading OEMs, and helps clients through scoping their AI factory deployments.

Compute markets are developing at a rapid rate. Luxor facilitates the trade of bare-metal compute offtake contracts, and also operates its own internal compute fund, to trade both short and long-term physical compute contracts. In addition, Luxor offers over-the-counter (OTC) cash-settled compute derivative contracts, including both options and forwards.

Tenki Cloud takes Luxor AI’s abilities and puts them to work as digital infrastructure for software engineering and DevOps teams. From runners and sandboxes to an AI code review tool, Tenki Cloud products are built so teams can take advantage of AI agents quickly and safely.

“We built the go-to platform for Bitcoin data centers and understand that operators value using a full-stack solution to service all of their infrastructure needs. By offering a unified platform, we can execute for our clients at a much higher level. Our Luxor AI stack is following this same principle,” says Ethan Vera, COO of Luxor.

About Luxor Technology Corporation

From Bitcoin mining to AI, Luxor delivers the hardware, software, finance and energy tools that power the world’s compute. Its Bitcoin product suite spans Mining Pool, ASIC Firmware, Hardware Trading, Hashrate Derivatives, Energy Services, and Miner Management Software. Its AI product suite spans Hardware, Compute, Energy, Derivatives and Tenki Cloud: digital infrastructure for code and agents. Across both, Hashrate Index is Luxor’s data and research platform.

MONTREAL, Sept. 24, 2026 — Axya, the AI-powered procurement platform that automates sourcing and purchasing for manufacturers, announced a $17 million CAD Series A funding round to enhance its platform and AI capabilities as it expands into new markets and scales its team to meet increasing demand. The financing was led by McRock Capital, with participation from Yamaha Motor Ventures. The round was supported by existing shareholders, including the Business Development Bank of Canada’s (BDC) Industrial Innovation Venture Fund, and Real Ventures, reaffirming their confidence in Axya’s growth trajectory. The company also established a new banking relationship with CIBC, which provides financing to support its next phase of expansion.

Axya helps complex manufacturers make their supply chains more predictable, cost-effective, and resilient by combining deep ERP integrations with AI-powered workflows that complement existing procurement teams. The company specializes in three customer sectors: aerospace and defense, custom machinery and vehicles, and natural resources and processing. It helps leading manufacturers such as MDA Space and GE Aerospace modernize their procurement operations across mid-market to enterprise segments.

Axya combines deep expertise in engineering-to-order and procurement operations with robust ERP integrations, working with Infor, Epicor, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, and Sage to connect supplier networks and ERP data. Its platform takes a human-in-the-loop approach that keeps procurement teams in control while AI automates the most time-consuming work, including normalizing data, flagging risks early, and identifying savings opportunities, so teams can focus on the most strategic decisions and actions. Axya connects manufacturers with all of their suppliers and integrates deeply with leading ERP systems, enabling buyers and suppliers to collaborate using multiple file formats and channels.

Founder and CEO Félix Bélisle-Dockrill, with a background in mechanical engineering, worked in supplier quality for two of the largest manufacturers in the aerospace industry earlier in his career, where he experienced firsthand the challenges of evaluating and managing suppliers. That experience inspired him to find a better way to share knowledge and information across the supply chain and led him to found Axya. 

“Despite major investments in digital transformation, procurement remains one of the most fragmented functions within manufacturing organizations,” said Bélisle-Dockrill. “Axya’s platform connects the data, suppliers, and workflows that drive purchasing decisions, enabling manufacturers to reduce manual effort, improve supplier responsiveness, and build more resilient supply chains.”

With the new funding, Axya will invest in deepening its AI capabilities for risk detection, optimization, and automated workflows, as well as growing its sales, customer success, and engineering teams to drive faster deployments and better outcomes. In addition, the funding will help the company strengthen its North American presence and expand internationally, while broadening its ERP partnerships and partner programs to accelerate enterprise adoption.

“We see an enormous market opportunity for industrial AI in the everyday work that keeps factories running. Manufacturing procurement is a prime example, where critical decisions still depend on scattered information,” said Udit Bhatnagar, Partner at McRock Capital. “Axya brings AI directly into that workflow, helping manufacturers make better decisions and keep production moving. We led Axya’s Series A because the team understands both the technology and the industrial problem it needs to solve.”
