Stealth

• La startup de paytech transfrontalière Latitude a quitté le mode furtif cette semaine avec un financement d'amorçage de 8 millions de dollars mené par NEA pour s'attaquer aux transferts d'argent commerciaux lents et coûteux. • Ce financement soutient la mission de Latitude de rationaliser les paiements internationaux, la positionnant comme un challenger dans l'espace fintech face à la demande croissante de transferts B2B efficaces. • Le lancement coïncide avec l'essor de la fintech d'avril 2026, soulignant la confiance des investisseurs dans les innovations paytech malgré les incertitudes économiques liées aux prix de l'énergie et à la politique de la Fed.

• Tel Aviv-based Capsule Security exited stealth on April 14, 2026, securing a $7 million Seed round led by Lama Partners with participation from Forgepoint Capital International to develop runtime security for enterprise AI agents. • The company positions itself as a "trust layer for agentic AI" designed to block manipulation, misbehavior, and silent data exfiltration during agent execution. • Capsule was selected as 1 of 6 finalists from nearly 1,000 startups in the CrowdStrike, AWS, and NVIDIA Startup Accelerator at RSA Conference, indicating strong industry recognition.

• Artemis, a San Francisco-based AI-native cybersecurity platform, emerged from stealth on April 17, 2026, with $70 million in combined seed and Series A funding just six months after founding. • The Series A round was led by Felicis Ventures, with participation from First Round Capital, Brightmind Ventures, Theory VC, Two Sigma, Lockstep, and leaders from Demisto, Abnormal AI, Splunk, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, and Okta. • The platform provides real-time detection and automated response to AI-powered threats, addressing gaps in traditional security tools amid rising agentic attacks.
