That’s a wrap on AI Innovate Paris! Thank you to the 200+ builders who joined us at Metafore to take on the all-day hackathon challenge with our partners Aiven, Lovable, Iterate, BuilderBase and Hackathon Hub. Amazing projects came to life in just one day. Congratulations to the city’s top three teams: 🥇 Noe: AI agents turn flood warning data into ready-to-act orders. With one click, they contact everyone in the danger zone and let them know what to do while rescuers receive their missions. Built by Amil Kourdoughli and Hannes Stettmaier 🥈Exposure: Your sponsor just paid €2M for pitch-side board advertising. Can you prove it was on screen during the match? Exposure can. AI agents measure every second a sponsor is on screen. Live, per surface, and with the frame as proof. Built by Dmitry Bogomolov 🥉Windfall: moves small businesses' flexible power use automatically into the hours when electricity is cheaper and cleaner, and never breaks the cold chain. Built by Wiliams Lopes. A big thank you also to ElevenLabs Mati Staniszewski and Gradium’s Neil Zeghidour for sharing their learnings with the future founders during the evening’s fireside chats. Berlin, here we come!

We are showcasing our work with NVIDIA to post-train Nemotron 3.5 Lightning for defensive cybersecurity at GTC. As AI makes cyberattacks faster, cheaper, and more common, we need to equip defenders with advanced cyber intelligence that is affordable enough to be always on. That's what we're building at depthfirst: powerful, specialized security models that defenders can run on their own infrastructure, with full control over their models and data, at a fraction of today's cost. We're proud to work with NVIDIA to strengthen the U.S. AI cybersecurity ecosystem and help put sovereign security intelligence in the hands of defenders.

We’re thrilled to announce that Coast has raised $35 million in new growth equity funding, led by Thomvest. The millions of field businesses that keep the physical economy running (the electricians, HVAC crews, plumbers, builders, and fleets behind every job site) still lack financial tools built for how they work. Coast is building that platform, and today marks a significant milestone in that journey. What started with America's top-rated fuel card, now includes corporate cards, spend management, and bill pay—all designed for how these businesses operate. This funding supports Coast’s continued expansion into a broader financial operating system for the physical economy with investment in: 🔹AI-powered savings and field services expense management automation 🔹New Bill Pay and Accounts Payable products that bring vendor invoices onto the same platform as card spend 🔹Embedded partnerships that put Coast inside the fleet and field service software our customers already use We're proud of the team that got us here and grateful to every customer who trusts Coast to run their spend. Thank you to existing investors who participated in this round ICONIQ, Accel, Insight Partners, Better Tomorrow Ventures, Avid Ventures, Vintage Investment Partners, Colle Capital, Synchrony, RXR, and The Fintech Fund 🚀 and welcome to new investors Intuit Ventures, Small World Capital, and Alpha Square Group for backing the next chapter.

Introducing PercepticOS. The Operating System bringing Scientific Superintelligence to Drug Development programs across biopharma. The next breakthrough will be driven by bringing individual R&D decisions into one unified institutional intelligence layer. PercepticOS gives expert teams and AI a shared workspace to explore a wider hypothesis space, in more detail, with an unprecendental speed and holostic program level understanding. AI does the groundwork: evaluating evidence, conducting analyses, simulating scenarios. Scientists focus on their intuition and critical judgment: challenge the reasoning, collaborate with colleagues, and take critical decisions on next steps. Our system scores up to 11.8 percentage points higher than the published results on benchmarks such as BioMysteryBench and DrugDiscoveryBench. We are working with leading biopharma companies and have enabled program level breakthroughs. Get Scientific Superintelligence. Own the reasoning.

From the start, Max Junestrand set out to build the operating system where lawyers and their agents work together. We're proud to continue backing Legora as they shape the future of legal work.
We have raised a $550M Series E at an $8.8B valuation, led by Atreides. Every major existing investor is back in, and we’re welcoming Baron Capital, Capital Group, Fidelity, Glade Brook and J.P. Morgan. We picked investors who think in decades. Several of them work with law firms and legal teams every day, so they can see where the work is heading. Lawyers are moving from AI assistants to agents that do multi-step work. The money goes there. We’re growing our teams across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, and going deeper on the Legora aOS. Thank you to the 1,000+ people at Legora, and to the 140,000 legal professionals who use what we build. I say this a lot because I believe it: it’s the best time in history to be a lawyer. We're thankful to be a part of it. Full story: https://lnkd.in/d7ZaCF3P

There were many impressive submissions and huge congratulations to the top three teams: 🥇 Bearing: at sea, one single change (a delayed berth, a route adjustment or a carbon constraint, for example) can reshape an entire voyage. Bearing is an AI voyage desk for a fleet of 100 ships, helping people decide what happens next. Built by Samuel F.. Watch the video submission here: https://lnkd.in/e4erA5VE 🥈LuminoCare: an AI-native, Agentic Operating System for UK care agencies that runs the agency on their behalf, autonomously, so they can deliver improved and scalable Quality Care. Built by Abdussalam Popoola, Furqhan Faisal, MD and Min Thant Kyaw 🥉Syndicate: provides repair intelligence for frontline units. The decision-support prototype finds every way to restore broken equipment using what a unit already holds, and shows what each choice costs the rest of the fleet. Built by Tom Stokolenko and Lorenzo Roque Dal Fabbro Thank you to everyone from Anthropic, Lovable, Modal, Miro, Port.io, Stripe, Vercel, BuilderBase, Hackathon Hub, {Tech: Europe} and UCL Artificial Intelligence Society who supported the teams throughout the day.
