Warhound raised a $200M seed round, backed by In-Q-Tel, Sequoia Capital, 8VC, ARK Invest, Franklin Templeton, Lux Capital and others, at a reported $1.2B valuation.

Warhound plans to clone and gene-edit military working dogs for the U.S. military. The company says over 80% of U.S. military dogs come from Europe and fewer than half are fit for duty. It licenses genetics technology from Colossal Biosciences, and Anduril supplies protective gear and software for the dogs. The first dogs are about to be cloned, with births expected in early 2027.

The idea came from Ben Lamm, co-founder and CEO of Colossal Biosciences, and Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril. Lamm joined Warhound's board, and the two say they do not call themselves co-founders.

Warhound is led by CEO David Spirk, a Marine veteran who served as the Pentagon's first chief data officer and later as a senior counselor at Palantir.

Founded in 2023 by Hiroya Hashizume, Tokyo-based Kinish is growing rice plants that produce casein, the main protein in milk, with the goal of making dairy without cows. In a plant-factory demonstration, it grew about 2,080g of brown rice per square meter in three months. While that technology develops, its first product, The Rice Creamery, an ice cream made from regular Japanese rice with no milk or eggs, is already sold in about 500 stores in Japan, and the company has opened an office in New York. Hashizume previously worked in strategy consulting and led business development at a global food company.

The company has now raised ¥490M (about $3.1M) in the first close of its Series A, from INSPiRE Mutualistic Symbiosis Fund 1, Shimadzu Future Innovation Fund, Obayashi Corporation and Love Veggies Holding. It follows a ¥120M seed round in February 2025 from Genesia Ventures, Lifetime Ventures, Full Commit Partners and Mitsubishi UFJ Capital.

Founded in 2022 by Cambridge PhDs Ben Woodington and Elise Jenkins, San Francisco-based Coherence wants to make electrical therapy a new way to treat cancer, alongside surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Its flagship SOMA is a tiny brain implant being designed to monitor and modulate aggressive tumors such as glioblastoma in real time. An earlier device, CIPHER, has already recorded tumor activity in patients during surgery, in a trial planned for 10 people. Jenkins previously designed sensors for F1 race cars.

The company has now raised a $45M Series A co-led by Founders Fund and the OpenAI Startup Fund. New investors Lux Capital, 8VC, Timeless, Olive Capital and Ahren joined, and existing backers including Blackbird, Possible, Topology and Artesian invested again. It follows a $10M seed round in November 2025.

Otter.ai raised $320M in growth funding, led by General Catalyst.

Otter.ai builds an AI notetaker that transcribes and summarizes meetings for sales and hiring teams. Meeting notes pile up and get forgotten, so Otter is turning conversations into automated work for teams. The company is based in the United States and was founded in 2016.

Sam Liang is co-founder and CEO. He holds a PhD from Stanford, led the Google Maps location team behind the 'blue dot', and later built Alohar Mobile, which was acquired by Alibaba. Yun Fu is co-founder and CTO. He co-founded Otter.ai alongside Sam Liang in 2016, serving as VP of engineering and later as CTO.

In earlier rounds, Otter.ai raised a $50M Series B in February 2021 led by Spectrum Equity, a $10M strategic round in January 2020 led by NTT DOCOMO Ventures, a $10M Series A in November 2017 led by Horizons Ventures, and a $3M seed round in September 2016 led by Draper Associates.

Legora raised $550M in its Series E, led by Atreides Management, at an $8.8B valuation. Baron Capital, Capital Group, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Glade Brook Capital Partners, J.P. Morgan, Accel, Benchmark, Bessemer Venture Partners and others also took part.

Legora builds a collaborative AI platform for lawyers and legal teams. Legal teams spend huge amounts of time on document review and research, and Legora aims to speed that up. The company is based in Sweden and was founded in 2023.

Max Junestrand, CEO and co-founder, started Legora at 23 with no legal background. He previously worked on growth at two Y Combinator startups, worked at McKinsey and in venture capital, and was a software developer at Abios (acquired by Kambi) and at Ericsson. Sigge Labor, CTO and co-founder, is a Hyper Island graduate who worked as a full-stack developer at startups and earlier founded the first-ever Mexican hops company.

Legora says its ARR is now above $200M, with more than 140,000 legal professionals at over 2,400 law firms and in-house teams using it. Earlier rounds include a $550M Series D in March 2026 led by Accel and a $150M Series C in October 2025 led by Bessemer Venture Partners.

Jessica Wu was a quant at a hedge fund when she hit a problem that had nothing to do with numbers. The fund ran on old brokerage software, and a lot of the daily work was still being done by hand.

Her future co-founder, Neil Deshmukh, saw the same thing in a hospital. Neither of them had planned to start a company, but both dropped out of MIT, went into Y Combinator, sold the product before it existed, and built Sola.

Swipe for the full story.

Skates studied computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he competed in algorithmic programming competitions and met his co-founder, Curtis Liu. After graduating, the duo initially launched Sonalight, a voice-recognition app for text messaging, through the Y Combinator startup accelerator. Recognizing that tracking user behavior and analytics was critical to product growth—and realizing existing tools were inadequate—they pivoted in 2012 to create Amplitude. Under Skates’ leadership, Amplitude grew into a publicly traded, multi-billion-dollar data analytics power platform serving top global businesses.
The Video Message
In this interview clip, Skates shares a realistic perspective on startup founder ship, explaining that while age isn’t a barrier, commitment is essential. Addressing prospective entrepreneurs, he states: “You can start a company at any age—you can start it in your 20s, you can start it in your 30s, you can start it in your 40s or 50s... The key thing to understand is how hard it is and how much of a life commitment it is.”
