A quick personal announcement, a few stealth mode companies to get excited about, and a few economic points to over in this issue.

Two robotic exoskeleton companies, an MIT lab spinout authenticating products with invisible diamond dust, and cost-contained health insurance targeting drug costs are included in the features!

Among them were an EpiPen competitor, a Harvard Medical School spin-off revamping the academic publishing system, an AI video editor for TikTokers, and an international payments enablement tool 💸

Trying out a Sunday release! Sneak peak: stealth mode startup by execs of the woolly mammoth revival company, a new Pickleball company in Boston, and an MGB-spinout reversing the course of fibrosis 🤯

Among them are autonomous greenhouses, decarbonized industrial 3D metal printing, a marketplace empowering Zambia's rural farmers, and a bio-absorbable alternative to surgical staples. Let's dive in!

A workplace philanthropic giving platform, ionic liquids to transform injectables into oral treatments, and an MIT Lincoln Lab-spinout making direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology are among them!

At a glance: a submersible robot for the inspection of tanks (pulling at an ex-"roboticist's" heartstrings), a teletherapy platform for students, and a few green hydrogen plays 😎

Among those funded, an advanced carbon nano materials manufacturer, a self-applying skin patch for delivering vaccines, and a new (but of course, differentiated) AI-based personal assistant 🤑

This week, among the funded: an AI analytics solution for amateur sports leagues, an ultra-capacitor that uses hemp-based activated carbon, and an MIT-spinout decarbonizing steel production.

Among them, a portable surgical environment for war zones and natural disasters, a tool that can measure how much carbon is stored in soil, and an HVAC analysis tool for building efficiencies 🔥

Over the last two weeks, startups funded included a musculoskeletal (MSK) recovery platform, a of couple familiar web3 features (welcome back?), and a stealth open source silicon project, among others 🚀

Professional beekeeping-as-a-service, developer infrastructure specifically for building AI in healthcare, and the first rechargeable, non-flammable lithium metal battery are among the funded 🚀

A company making quantum computing a reality for enterprise, a robot trash can that takes out your trash, and a company that eliminates industrial waste via microbes are among this weeks' companies 🤩

An OpenAI-powered scientific search engine, autonomous eVTOL systems for sustainable farming and telehealth for Medicare recipients with mental health issues are among this weeks' funded companies 💸

A light summary of last week's macro events follows a roundup of the 22 startup fundings, including an AI-powered brain tumor detection and measurement device and satellites for weather intelligence.

Among them, a photonic chip manufacturer hoping to revolutionize the new wave of AI computation potential (as tough as it is to admit- move over, NVIDIA). Plus, other cool startups and headlines! ✨

Wayfair contributed $600M, while other cool features this week include a major upgrade to pregnancy ultrasounds, biotech for fatal pregnancy complications, and personalized sports betting algorithms📈

This week: a new foreign language immersion platform, a better-for-you adult chocolate milk brand, and a wearable device for treating menopause symptoms are among the funded Boston companies 🏙

Cengage took $500M of that. Otherwise, AI-based search trained on research papers, reservoir stimulation for geothermal energy harnessing, and a tool to measure physician value are among the fundings!

Two tequila brands, fertilizer and leather made from seaweed, a new approach to drug alteration, electric vehicle logistics and more are among the Boston companies to have raised capital ✨
