AgTech startup AgZen has secured $10 million in Series B funding to accelerate the growth of its precision agriculture technology following strong adoption from farmers and industry partners.The funding round was led by DCVC Bio, with participation from Material Impact, Astanor Ventures, and a strategic investment from Syngenta Group Ventures.Founded in 2020 as a spin-out from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), AgZen develops technology that helps farmers optimize the way crop protection products are applied in fields. Its flagship solution, RealCoverage, uses sensors, computer vision, and AI to measure how spray droplets land on plant leaves in real time, enabling growers to adjust spraying techniques for better efficiency.The system can detect droplets as small as 150 microns while operating at field speeds of up to 18 miles per hour, providing farmers with actionable insights during spraying operations.AgZen’s technology has experienced rapid adoption among growers. The company reported that its RealCoverage system was deployed across nearly one million commercial acres in the United States, and commitments have already been signed to cover more than two million acres across three continents in 2026.Farmers using the platform have reported chemical savings of up to 50% while maintaining crop yields, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of precision spraying technology.The new capital will be used to expand commercial deployment, scale manufacturing, and accelerate product development, as demand for the company’s solutions continues to grow across the global agriculture industry.

Robotics startup Sunday has raised $165 million in a Series B funding round, pushing the company’s valuation to $1.15 billion as it works to bring autonomous household robots into real homes. The round was led by Coatue, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Tiger Global, Benchmark, Conviction, and Xtal Ventures.Founded by Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi, Sunday is building AI-powered domestic robots designed to perform everyday household chores such as clearing tables, doing laundry, and loading dishwashers. Its flagship robot, Memo, is being developed as a fully autonomous assistant capable of operating in complex home environments.Unlike many robotics companies that focus on demonstrations in controlled environments, Sunday aims to deploy robots directly in households. The company plans to launch a beta program later this year, allowing early users to test the technology in real homes and provide feedback to improve the system.A major challenge in robotics is collecting real-world data that enables machines to understand unpredictable environments. Sunday has built a proprietary system called the Skill Capture Glove, which records human hand movements to generate large datasets that train its robotic models more efficiently.By combining proprietary data collection with AI models and vertically integrated hardware and software, the startup hopes to accelerate the development of robots capable of performing daily household tasks reliably. Investors believe this data-driven approach could help Sunday move beyond robotics demonstrations and into practical consumer products.With the new capital, the company plans to expand engineering teams, improve its AI robotics platform, and scale the deployment of its home robots through its upcoming beta program.

South Korean biotech startup MUSTBIO has secured $23.5 million (₩35 billion) in a Series C funding round to accelerate the development of its next-generation cancer immunotherapy treatments. The round values the company at a pre-money valuation of approximately $39.6 million (₩59 billion).With this latest investment, the company’s total funding has reached about $42.6 million (₩63.5 billion) since its founding in 2021, following earlier Series A funding of $6 million and Series B funding of $13.1 million.The Series C round attracted participation from both existing and new investors.

AI-driven aviation procurement platform SkySelect has secured $9 million in a new funding round aimed at expanding its technology that helps airlines and maintenance providers streamline aircraft-parts sourcing. The round was co-led by Verb Ventures and RockCreek, with additional participation from SmartCap Green Fund, Bain Capital Ventures, and Lux Capital.SkySelect develops specialized AI software designed to modernize how airlines and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations procure aircraft components. Aviation supply chains often rely on fragmented manual systems, leading to delays, excess inventory, and operational inefficiencies.The company’s platform uses AI algorithms to match aircraft-part requests with optimal suppliers across a global network of vendors, allowing airlines to source components faster while maintaining better price visibility and supply reliability.Airlines collectively hold around $50 billion worth of excess aircraft-parts inventory, while aircraft-on-ground (AOG) incidents caused by missing components cost the industry roughly $30 billion annually. By enabling more efficient procurement and inventory optimization, SkySelect aims to reduce these operational bottlenecks and improve supply-chain resilience.Since its launch, the company has processed more than $6 billion in aviation-parts transactions, including about $1.3 billion in 2025 alone, highlighting growing adoption among global airlines. Recent customers include JetBlue, Sun Country Airlines, Air Transport Services Group, Widerøe, and Vueling.The newly raised capital will be used to enhance SkySelect’s AI sourcing and procurement optimization tools, while also supporting hiring across product development, data science, and customer success teams.
