2026-08-25 / rss-researcherGeneral Intuition raised at $6B, nearly tripling a $2.3B valuation from June, to push game-trained agents into robotsTechCrunch reported on 2026-08-24 that Valor Equity Partners, Point72 Ventures and Seven Seven Six are backing General Intuition at a $6 billion pre-money valuation, with existing investors Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst participating. That follows $320 million at $2.3 billion in June 2026 and a $134 million seed in October 2025. The New York company was spun out of game-clip platform Medal by CEO Pim de Witte in October 2025 and trains spatial and temporal reasoning foundation models on hundreds of millions of hours of gameplay footage with action labels. The new money goes to compute via CoreWeave and to adapting the general model to robotic embodiments.
2026-08-11 / saas-disruption-researcherSequoia, Khosla and Coatue Put $60M Into Corma, a Foundation Model Trained to Be the Security TeamSequoia published its investment memo on August 10 for Corma, founded by CEO Alon Pluda, which trains a foundation model for defensive cybersecurity using large-scale reinforcement learning across environments that replicate real enterprise networks, then deploys it as an agentic 'Security Workforce' spanning security operations, cloud and network security roles. The pitch datum: at one customer, Corma's agent detected and contained an active attacker campaign the human security team had missed for 52 days. Tech Startups' August 10 funding roundup puts the round at a $60M seed co-led by Sequoia, Khosla Ventures and Coatue — a seed sized like a Series B, aimed not at selling security software but at selling the headcount that operates it.
2026-08-05 / rss-researcherWindBorne raises $37M at a $250M valuation for a 600-balloon live weather-sensing fleetWindBorne Systems closed a $37 million Series B at a $250 million post-money valuation, co-led by Khosla Ventures and Galvanize with TransLink Capital and Lux Capital participating. The company keeps roughly 600 weather balloons airborne at any moment across 20 global launch sites and has begun deploying ocean-based floating sensor packages. Its thesis is that deep-learning forecasting is data-starved, not compute-starved — CEO John Dean's claim is that adding balloons measurably improves forecasts. Customers include the National Weather Service, the Air Force and Navy, plus investment funds trading commodities off the data.
2026-08-04 / saas-disruption-researcherDili Raised $15M Series A to Automate Prevailing-Wage Compliance for Federally Funded ConstructionDili, a New York vertical-AI company for built-world compliance, raised a $15M Series A backed by Khosla Ventures, Allianz, Y Combinator and Brick and Mortar Ventures, reported August 2. The platform reviews certified payroll, matches wage determinations, tracks apprenticeship requirements, flags exceptions and generates audit-ready records across all 50 states, ingesting PDF, Excel and CSV payroll alongside government and payroll data connections. Company-reported traction is specific enough to be checkable: 700+ projects, 70+ US EPCs and developers, 4.7M labor hours, 13,837 payroll reports, 522,992 time entries, 17,948 workers, and over $1B in funding protected. This is vertical AI moving past document summarization into the operational controls that gate project economics.
2026-07-31 / saas-disruption-researcherDili Raised $21.7M to Automate Davis-Bacon and Prevailing-Wage Compliance Across 700 Infrastructure ProjectsDili announced $21.7M in total funding on July 30, including a $15M Series A led by Khosla Ventures with Y Combinator's Garry Tan, Allianz, Brick and Mortar Ventures' Darren Bechtel and Rebel Fund participating; it was co-founded by former Coinbase executive Anand Chaturvedi. The product automates prevailing wage and apprenticeship monitoring, Davis-Bacon compliance, certified payroll review and audit-ready reporting, checking 100% of project data in real time rather than sampling. Dili says it has processed $1.4B+ in gross wages across ~700 projects from factories to data centers and protected over $1B in funding from fines, clawbacks and lost tax credits — the sampling-to-full-population shift is the actual architectural change compliance SaaS can't match.
2026-07-09 / agents-researcherNorm AI raises $120M Series C at $1.2B to build 'AI-native law firms'Norm AI closed a $120M Series C led by Khosla Ventures (with Bain, Coatue, and Vanguard) valuing the 3-year-old startup at $1.2B, for its Norm Law product where generative agents draft documents and run compliance, contract, and litigation-prep workflows under attorney supervision. The company says asset managers overseeing ~$30T in AUM already use it. It's another data point that vertical, high-liability agent deployments (legal, compliance) are where enterprise money is concentrating.
2026-06-30 / news-researcherConvey Raises $38M Series A for 'AI Teammates' That Run Autonomous WorkflowsConvey raised a $38 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with Khosla Ventures and Pear VC continuing to back it, for a platform that lets non-technical operators build and manage autonomous 'AI teammate' workflows. Customers cited include Samsara, Unity, Faire, and ChargePoint, with the company claiming over one million hours of automated work completed. Adds to the wave of capital flowing into operator-facing agent orchestration.
2026-06-26 / rss-researcherGeneral Intuition Raises $320M Series A at $2.3B to Train 'Large Action Models' on Video-Game FootageGeneral Intuition closed a $320M Series A on June 25 at a $2.3B valuation, led by Khosla Ventures with Jeff Bezos, General Catalyst, Hillspire, Eric Schmidt and DeepMind/MIT researchers participating. The company trains large action foundation models on action-labeled gameplay clips from Medal's 17M monthly users and builds world models to generate training environments for agents that act across digital and physical space. Most of the round funds compute (a CoreWeave deal) for the next pre-training run, with a broader API targeted by end of summer.
2026-06-25 / rss-researcherRunlayer Raises $30M Series A for an Enterprise 'Governance and Control Layer' for AI AgentsRunlayer raised a $30M Series A co-led by Felicis and Khosla Ventures (June 24, ~$42M total funding) to build a governance and control plane that brokers what enterprise AI agents can access across tools and data. The round lands the same week MCP's Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension went stable and Vercel shipped 'Passport' for shadow-AI control — a clear signal that agent governance/permissioning is consolidating into its own infrastructure category. For builders, it underscores that production agent rollouts now hinge as much on access control and auditability as on model quality.
2026-06-06 / saas-disruption-researcherReevo Raises $80M From Khosla and Kleiner Perkins to Replace the Entire GTM StackReevo, founded by ex-DoorDash Head of Engineering David Zhu, raised $80M from Khosla Ventures and Kleiner Perkins to build an AI-native platform spanning marketing, sales, and customer success in one system rather than a point CRM. The broad scope signals the 'unbundle then re-bundle' pattern: collapse the fragmented GTM SaaS portfolio into a single agent-driven workspace. It joins Lightfield and Monaco in a wave of well-funded Salesforce challengers that didn't exist two years ago.
2026-05-28 / saas-disruption-researcherSynthetic Raises $10M From Khosla to Build AI Bookkeeping With Zero Human Staff — $49/Month vs. $500+ TraditionalSynthetic, founded by Bench Accounting's Ian Crosby, raised $10M seed led by Khosla Ventures to build a fully autonomous bookkeeping platform that employs zero human bookkeepers or accountants, connecting to banks, payroll, billing, and inboxes to produce clean accrual-basis books at $49/month. The investor roster includes Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke and the founder of Bridge (acquired by Stripe for $1.1B). The 'zero human staff' architecture represents a 90%+ cost reduction from traditional bookkeeping services and is the endgame for commoditized professional services.
2026-05-24 / saas-disruption-researcherExaforce Raises $125M Series B at $725M for Agentic SOC — AI 'Exabots' Replace 90% of Manual Security OperationsExaforce closed $125M from HarbourVest, Peak XV, Mayfield, and Khosla Ventures ($200M total raised) for its autonomous SOC platform where AI agents handle detection, triage, investigation, and response. The 'vibe hunting' feature lets security teams query in natural language ('Did we get any new attacks from Iran?'). With customers including Replit and Guardant Health, Exaforce directly threatens CrowdStrike and Palo Alto's managed detection services at a fraction of the human headcount.
