AI talent managers, technocapitalist college towns, and a rise in defense tech
acquisitions

This week on Equity are some deals that are unusual for a few reasons — some
good, some… well, we’ll find out. First up is the $80 million round for Story,
which is trying to apply that ol’ web3 magic to AI and talent management. As one
investor puts it, “What Bitcoin did for money and finance, Story is doing for
content and IP.” That may well be true, but perhaps not in the way he means it.

Tingit is building a marketplace for ‘zero-effort’ repairs, starting with

Do you have a much-loved jacket with a torn sleeve or pair of grubby kicks

wants to help people restore their used clothing to their former glory with its
newly launched repairs marketplace. The platform lets you use your phone to snap

360 One lifts its valuation of India’s National Stock Exchange to $29.9B

360 One Asset, an investor in India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE), has
increased its valuation for the stock exchange to $29.9 billion, significantly
higher than the $18 billion to $19 billion price tag the firm was valued at in
private transactions last year. The wealth manager, which invested in NSE
through its SOF8 fund, disclosed its assessment of its stake in the NSE in an
update to its investors in June that was reviewed by TechCrunch. The mark up in
valuation reflects the growing conf

Synapse’s collapse has frozen nearly $160M from fintech users — here’s how it
happened

The collapse and bankruptcy of BaaS fintech Synapse has revealed how treacherous
things are for the often-interdependent fintech world when one key player hits
trouble. Synapse operated a service that allowed others (mainly fintechs) to
embed banking services into their offerings. For instance, a software provider
that specialized in payroll for 1099 contractor-heavy businesses used Synapse to
provide an instant payment feature; others used it to offer specialized
credit/debit cards. The San

Founder of failed fintech Synapse says he’s raised $11M for new robotics startup

Tens of millions of customer dollars remain unaccounted for at his previous
startup, fintech Synapse. But that’s not deterring Sankaet Pathak from forging
full steam ahead with his new robotics venture. Foundation is a robotics startup
with a self-proclaimed mission “to create advanced humanoid robots that can
operate in complex environments” to address the labor shortage. The company has
already raised $11 million in pre-seed funding from Tribe Capital and “other
angels,” Pathak told TechCrunc

AI sales rep startups are booming. So why are VCs wary?

When you really probe venture capitalists about investing in AI startups,
they’ll tell you that businesses are experimenting wildly but are very slow to
add AI solutions into their ongoing business processes. But there are some
exceptions. And one of them appears to be an area known as AI sales development
representatives, or AI SDRs. These use LLMs and voice technology to craft
personalized outreach emails and place automated calls to potential customers.

TechCrunch Minute: AI could help design and test F1 cars faster

Formula One teams are looking at a startup called BeyondMath to bring their car
construction to the next level. BeyondMath is working in the field of
computational fluid dynamics, which attempts to digitally model how an object
moves through water or air. But that’s a lot easier said than done — even with
excessive computing power, these digital representations of complex physics are
not wholly accurate. What makes BeyondMath different is that it’s simulating
windy conditions by using machine l

Cache Energy’s mysterious white pellets could help kill coal and natural gas

Wind and solar power have become so cheap to install, and at times so abundant,
that utilities don’t know what to do with it all. Sometimes they’ll even pay the
owners of other power plants not to generate electricity. In response,
scientists and engineers have been racing to find inexpensive ways to store that
power for later, ultimately hoping to store renewable energy so that it’s
available 24/7 and at a price that’ll put coal and natural gas out of business.

Creatopy, which automates ad creation using AI, raises a $10M Series A

When advertising agencies create ads for clients, they don’t just make one
advert, but potentially hundreds of iterations for a ream of platforms, and that
can be pretty manually intensive. Creatopy, which automates ad creation using
AI, has now raised a $10 million Series A co-led by European VCs 3VC (based out
of Austria) and Point Nine (based out of Germany). The startup — which was
developed in Romania but has a U.S. TopCo — now considers more than 5,000 brands

Trace Machina is building a simulation testing platform to update
safety-critical applications

When a faulty CrowdStrike update brought down airports, 911 call centers and

infrastructure. Now imagine that this update was for something like an
autonomous vehicle or a warehouse robot, and the implications of a bad update
could be even more severe. Trace Machina, an early-stage startup, is trying to
prevent such scenarios with advanced simulation software that enables developers

Harmonyze wants to build AI agents to help franchisors make sense of
unstructured data

For some businesses, there is a clear path to growth that doesn’t involve
acquiring other companies or expanding organically: franchising. The U.S. has
more than 800,000 franchise businesses, according to Statista, and that number
is predicted to keep growing year over year. But franchising a business —
licensing a business model and brand to an outside operator — requires a lot of

fuel for spacecrafts, which could make it possible for humans to travel farther

Openmart wants to make it easier for enterprises to sell to local businesses

In 2020, Kathryn Wu launched a side hustle while she was working as a product
engineer at Pinterest. Wu started a milk tea company, OhTea, with the hopes of
connecting with local grocery stores and gift shops to get them to carry the
tea. She quickly realized how difficult it was to not only be able to locate all
of the potential retailors but also to find the point of contact at each place.
The fragmented market was so hard to navigate, it ended up playing a role in the

How Fabric plans to make advanced cryptography ubiquitous
