🔎 Shiplog raised $1M in pre-seed to turn customer intelligence into action, in real time. Companies have never had more data about their customers. The problem is that most of it just sits there. It's scattered across the CRM, the product, billing, support, and marketing, built for a human to check in a dashboard. Existing tools store the data, score it, or fire generic rules built for an average customer. None of them actually decide anything on the team's behalf. That's what Shiplog does. Its AI agent, Ada, continuously pulls every signal into one living profile per customer, understands what's happening on the account and why, anticipates what's coming next, and recommends or triggers the right action at the right moment. Huge applause to Khushi Mehta and Mehdi GRIBAA, building out of STATION F, for tackling one of GTM's most overdue infrastructure problems. We're proud to back you 🙂 Congratulations also to Project Europe, Purple Fund, No Label Ventures, 100IN, Noé Gersanois, and STATION F for joining the round.

📡 Bondio raises $7.5M to build the telecom infrastructure powering the eSIM era. Bondio provides the behind-the-scenes connectivity layer for travel apps, fintech platforms, airlines, and any business offering mobile data to its customers. Its infrastructure connects companies directly with telecom networks and can deliver a working eSIM in under a second. After years spent across both the infrastructure and API sides of telecom, they saw how far connectivity infrastructure had fallen behind the way mobile data is now bought, integrated, and managed. Rather than launching another connectivity brand, they built the core network bridging telcos with millions of new eSIM customers worldwide. Huge applause to Robinson Nouveau, 🌞 Harshit Jain, and the whole Bondio team for tackling one of telecom’s deepest infrastructure challenges. We’re proud to back you :) Congratulations to BREEGA for leading the round, alongside Motier Ventures.

🏭 Arrakis Technologies emerges with $38M in funding to deploy sovereign AI across the physical economy. Arrakis partners with ambitious enterprises to transform complex industrial operations into software. Its agents encode operational know-how, execute critical processes semi-autonomously, and continuously learn under human supervision. Only six months in, the team is already deployed across the US, Europe and APAC, delivering 60-90% cycle-time reductions at 99%+ accuracy on complex workflows. These results have translated into significant P&L improvements, NYSE-listed customers and direct CEO referrals as a primary growth engine. Huge applause to Rafael Quintanilla, Haroun BELTAÏFA, Romain Fouilland, Michael Galkov and the exceptional founding team bringing together experience from Palantir, Revolut, ElevenLabs, Datadog, Delivery Hero, ASML, KKR and Blackstone.

⚙️ ZML announces ZML/LLMD, its open source inference server built to run leading LLMs on any chip at full performance. Built on ZML’s model to metal execution layer, ZML/LLMD lets teams deploy models like Qwen, Gemma, Llama and Mistral across NVIDIA, AMD, Google TPU, Apple Metal and Intel Arc from a single codebase. With continuous batching, prefix caching and sub 20 second cold starts, it delivers production grade inference without vendor lock in or performance tradeoffs. By removing hardware specific dependencies and eliminating Python from the execution path, ZML is making true "write once, deploy everywhere" AI infrastructure a reality. Huge congratulations to Steeve Morin and the entire ZML team for bringing this ambitious vision to life. Excited to see the next generation of AI infrastructure being built in Europe :) Proud to back ZML alongside Kindred Capital VC, LocalGlobe, Puzzle Ventures, 20VC, commit, AAL VC and Drysdale Ventures, with support from exceptional founders, engineers and researchers including Yann LeCun, Gabriel Synnaeve, Armand Joulin, Solomon Hykes, Clem Delangue 🤗, Julien Chaumond, Olivier Pomel Maxim Konovalov, David Helgason and Cliff Obrecht.

☀️ Fuzed, Solaire & recharge announces its €1.8M financing to accelerate the rollout of solar generation and EV charging infrastructure, at no upfront cost for businesses and local authorities. Fuzed finances, installs and operates solar power plants and EV chargers on commercial sites, enabling owners to generate and consume cheaper local electricity while earning additional income from their land. By combining solar production and destination charging on the same sites, the company is building an integrated infrastructure model that makes electrification economically viable for locations often overlooked by large energy players. Already, more than 500 sites have been identified, including over 50 secured, with a target of bringing 100 charge points into service by the end of the year. Huge congratulations to Vincent Grena, Kevin Hamel, Marie Michaud and the entire Fuzed team. We're excited to support your mission to accelerate the energy transition with a pragmatic, infrastructure-first approach. Congrats to 50 Partners, Inovexus, SideAngels, APOK Invest and the outstanding group of sector business angels for backing this ambitious vision.

𝐊𝐢𝐦𝐚 ❤️ 𝐅/𝐀𝐈 𝐛𝐲 STATION F Ok we are a bit biased, but every founder we've spoken to says the same thing. F/AI by STATION F has the 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐞'𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧. That's why we're so excited to partner with the next batch. Can't wait to meet the founders and see what you build 🚀

☀️ Just under 40°C in Paris. 300+ founders by the Seine. No VC crowd. No speeches. No BS. Last Thursday, we hosted the Kima Founders Party. Just cold drinks, BBQ, and founders talking with other founders about what building a company really feels like. Some had just exited. Some had just closed their pre-seed. Most were somewhere in the messy middle. And honestly, that’s exactly why we love this event :) Simple conversations, shared experiences, and a few hours with people who really get it. Thanks to everyone who came! This is the Kima Family at its best 💚🩵 Jean de La Rochebrochard Alexis Robert Felix DE BREUCKER Edouard Goût

🛡️ Tolmo announces its $22M round to build the agent fleet securing production environments. As AI accelerates how software is built and shipped, security teams face a new reality: codebases evolve faster, attackers exploit vulnerabilities in hours, and production environments keep mutating under their feet. Tolmo connects production context into a Production Knowledge Graph, then runs an always-on fleet of AI security agents across pull requests, deployments and alerts. Each agent reasons over the full environment, investigates findings and proposes fixes with the right context. Already deployed with 40+ design partners, Tolmo has surfaced hundreds of critical security findings in real production environments, with its first Pentesting Agents live with customers today. Huge applause to Pierre Betouin, Jean-Baptiste Aviat, 📍Vladimir de Turckheim, Arnaud Breton and the whole Tolmo team, bringing deep Sqreen, Datadog, Apple and Snyk DNA to one of the most urgent shifts in cybersecurity. We’re proud to back you and be part of the journey :) Congrats to Accel for leading the round, joined by Y Combinator and outstanding angels including Renaud Deraison, Olivier Pomel, Michael Callahan, Mark Anderson and Jason M. Lemkin.
