Three Most Interesting Deals

Humanoid ($152M from Prime Movers Lab): Humanoid is building general-purpose robots aimed at manufacturing and labor, a category where hardware ambition usually outruns early venture checks. A $152M Series A led by Prime Movers Lab, with industrial strategics like Bosch and Schaeffler in the syndicate, is one of the clearest signals this week that investors are funding physical AI platforms, not just software wrappers.

Neo ($75M from Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners): Neo is building AI cybersecurity and enterprise network security for a market where attackers are already using AI faster than defenders can staff human response. A $75M Series A co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Bessemer Venture Partners, with Craft and Merlin also in, is a strong signal that top-tier software investors still see security as a core AI infrastructure category.

Fluidstack ($830M from Situational Awareness): Fluidstack is building AI cloud and GPU infrastructure for training and inference at a moment when compute capacity is the binding constraint for frontier labs and enterprises. An $830M Series A led by Situational Awareness, with BlackRock, Google, and Jane Street in the round, is one of the strongest capital signals this week that AI infrastructure is being financed like critical industrial capacity, not a conventional early-stage software business.
