Stealth

• 米国関連のクロスボーダー決済テック・スタートアップLatitudeは、遅くてコストのかかる企業間送金の課題解決に向けて、NEAが主導する800万ドルのシード資金調達を実施し、今週ステルスモードを脱却しました。 • この資金調達は、国際決済を効率化するというLatitudeのミッションを支援し、効率的なB2B送金への需要が高まる中で、同社をfintech分野のチャレンジャーとして位置づけています。 • 今回のローンチは2026年4月のfintech急成長期と重なっており、エネルギー価格やFedの政策による経済的な不透明感がある中、決済テックのイノベーションに対する投資家の自信を浮き彫りにしています。

• 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.
