UK-based manufacturing software startup CloudNC announced Wednesday a $20 million B extension round, bringing its lifetime total raised amount to $128 million.
The Trump administration did not oppose a UK-led initiative to impose new sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, U.S. officials and Western diplomats say. Why it matters: The White House's decision not to push back on the UK effort, which 11 other Western countries have joined, is a signal of its frustration with the Netanyahu government's policy in the West Bank. Driving the news: The UK announced Tuesday it would impose sanctions against individuals and entities involved i
President Trump said the U.S. would ban Canadian alcohol, some dairy products and large motorcycles, sharply escalating a trade war largely fought with tariffs. Why it matters: The measures deepen the economic rift between countries that have spent decades interlinking commerce, threatening disruption for businesses and consumers on both sides of the border. Zoom in: The import bans take effect Sept. 29, effectively cutting off U.S. market access for the targeted Canadian goods rather than simpl
The Trump administration's short-lived arcade game "Build the Wall" is now nowhere to be found after the Tetris Company posted that it takes "copyright infringement very seriously."
Congressional Republicans are preparing to share the stage with a president who has spent the August recess complicating their efforts to run their races on their own terms. Why it matters: Republican lawmakers fled Washington for the latter part of the summer, eager to localize their races. But President Trump keeps nationalizing the election. In the process, he's staking out positions that run counter to GOP orthodoxy on issues including beef imports and child care subsidies. Driving the news:
CloudNC Bags $20M to Automate Factory Bottlenecks The Tech Buzz
Last month, a Claude user noticed his account was consuming tokens even though he wasn't working. Anthropic has since warned users about hackers.
A landmark copyright lawsuit filed by the New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft in 2023 moved into a critical new phase Friday, as all three parties presented their official arguments to a judge, with hopes of a favorable ruling ahead of a possible trial. Why it matters: A ruling in favor of the Times could wreak havoc on the lucrative business models underpinning the AI industry. A ruling in favor of OpenAI and Microsoft would serve as a massive blow to the publishing industry, potentiall

House Republicans are effectively abandoning what was supposed to be a key battleground district in New York over concerns that their candidate, state Sen. Peter Oberacker, is too flawed to seriously compete, sources tell Axios. Why it matters: Expect to see more of this cold calculus as the general election heats up, with both parties determining where their money will actually make enough of a difference to be worth spending. In this case, the GOP has determined that New York's 19th district,
The Exploration Company (TEC) has raised $450 million to build reusable spacecraft, in what it describes as “the largest-ever Series C by a European space company.”
Forus secures $150M series C to grow AI-powered medication access platform Fierce Healthcare
India can’t stop making startup shows but are founders really getting a better deal? bestmediainfo.com
LIV Golf — the Saudi-backed league that upended the sport with a costly splash but failed to identify a viable business model — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday. Why it matters: It's an ignominious turn of events for a brash organization that lured some of the biggest stars away from the PGA Tour with enormous paydays that proved to be unsustainable. The big picture: LIV represents a high-profile flop for its Saudi investors. The bankruptcy filing comes after months of effor
Meta's new personal AI agent Muse wants access to users' email, calendars, payments, health services, and more — making the company's biggest consumer AI bet yet a major test of whether people still trust Meta with their data.

Valuation reset: Startups begin losing unicorn tag The Times of India
In a world of AI-enabled cyberattacks, the victims of hacks will no longer just be humans — they'll also be AI agents themselves, Bugcrowd CEO Dave Gerry told Axios. Why it matters: Cyber defenses are tailored toward predicting and defending humans. Now, companies need to start treating the agents roaming their systems as both potential adversaries and the targets. Driving the news: Gerry's prediction during an interview at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference last month came after OpenAI disc
There is a $1 million bounty for the first person providing a solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.
Yes Madam in talks to raise Rs 250 crore from Xponentia, Riverwalk as at-home services heat up Moneycontrol.com
Trump is reaching for a more drastic trade war weapon, with new threats to shut foreign goods out of the U.S. altogether. Why it matters: It would mark a significant evolution of the administration's trade agenda, with potentially bigger economic fallout than the tariffs that have defined it so far. Trump may also have firmer legal footing for some import bans than emergency tariffs. Federal trade laws explicitly give presidents the power to prohibit imports under certain conditions, even where
Apple's annual iPhone event will stream live on September 9 at 10 AM PDT, and we're expecting big news.
Ramp mulls $1B raise at $60B valuation Briefs Finance
OpenAI says its AI has solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem, a potentially historic breakthrough shadowed by questions over unpublished research by outside mathematicians. Why it matters: The controversy strikes at a core trust question for AI-assisted science: whether researchers can safely use frontier labs' tools to work on unpublished discoveries. State of play: OpenAI said Tuesday an internal model "significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra" produced a proof that the three-di
Google Cloud expands its enterprise AI push with Accenture, betting on forward-deployed engineers to drive adoption and overcome deployment bottlenecks.
‘Hot Girl Soda’: Female-Founded Feisty Bags Funding for Fizzy Plant Protein Drinks Green Queen Media
Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch announced he will retire later this year following months of clashes with the White House. Why it matters: Bunch's departure leaves the Smithsonian facing a leadership transition as the Trump administration escalates efforts to reshape how the institution presents American history. Editor's note: This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates.

France’s Mistral AI raises €3 billion in Europe’s largest tech funding round 150sec
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration released more than 170,000 pages of documents Tuesday that suggest city officials knew air conditions following the 9/11 attacks were unsafe, despite assurances otherwise. The big picture: Twenty-five years later, New Yorkers are still seeking a full accounting of what city officials knew about the toxic air around Ground Zero and whether they were honest with the public about the risks. More New York City Fire Department members have died of 9
The French AI lab has raised €3 billion at a €21 billion valuation in a Series D round led by Samsung, Scaleup Europe and PSG Equity.
Floating-Nuclear Startup Bluecore Energy Raises $50M Seed Wowtale
Bluecore Energy announced Tuesday an oversubscribed $50 million seed round — just months after raising a $10 million pre-seed and coming out of stealth.
A societal spotlight on extreme thinness is stripping body diversity from screens, just as fashion magazines did in the early aughts, mental health experts tell Axios. The big picture: Fake content creators are introducing unattainable, AI-generated body images that prey on human nature and exacerbate the struggle for many to reach self-acceptance for their bodies. When shrunken celebrities "become the ideal ... because of their status, then the virtual influencers are going to be emulating that

The WNBA, Major League Baseball and even a golf startup spent the summer as unlikely proxies in some of the country's fiercest national conflicts. Why it matters: American culture has shattered into thousands of tiny shards of glass. But sports remains one of the few forces powerful enough to pull much of the country into the same moment — making it a prime target for political fights. That kind of shared attention has become a scarce and ultra-valuable resource for activists, politicians and co
The latest heist is one of the largest thefts of cryptocurrency to date.
Alco-bev startup Marmalade raises Rs 6 crore from angel investors The Economic Times
Campaigning on health care used to mean talking about coverage or costs. Now, in the run-up to the midterms, it's just as likely to focus on "corruption." The big picture: Candidates are accusing primary or general election opponents of being in the pockets of drugmakers, insurers and other powerful health interests, to the detriment of voters. It's a strategy that plays into affordability concerns and voter anger at the health system — but frequently avoids addressing what about the system need
The startup is trying to rethink the economics of cargo aircraft by removing pilots from the equation entirely.
As climate change makes extreme heat more frequent and dangerous, states are building systems to manage a hazard they weren't historically built to handle. The big picture: In a growing number of states, officials are appointing heat officers, writing statewide plans, setting worker protections, funding cooling infrastructure, and coordinating responses across agencies. Driving the news: July was the hottest month ever measured in the contiguous U.S., with every Lower 48 state above its 20th-cen

Data: Hart Research/TelevisaUnivision; Table: Russell Contreras/Axios Democrats have gained sharply with Latino voters in some of the country's most competitive House districts since 2024, a new Hart Research/TelevisaUnivision poll shared exclusively with Axios shows. Why it matters: President Trump came close to erasing Democrats' longtime advantage among Latinos in the last presidential election. Now, with control of Congress at stake and Trump's approval ratings hitting new lows, that breakth
Stoke has "completed the initial closing" of a $1B Series E round intended to help it reach orbit and prepare a new, larger rocket for operations.
San Diego AI startup Ollie secures $7.5 million in seed funding The American Bazaar
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) faces mounting behind-the-scenes frustration from progressive lawmakers and candidates that's likely to burst into public view after the midterm elections. Why it matters: Unless Democrats win a big enough House majority in November to govern without the progressive wing, a Speaker Jeffries would have to contend with the left flank's demands. An influx of Democratic Socialists of America-aligned members in January will compound latent distrust of Je
