New York dominated the smaller rounds. EDGE Markets, which provides banking and payment infrastructure for gaming and prediction markets, raised $29.2 million, lifting total funding to $55.6 million from investors including CoinFund and StepStone Group. F2 AI, founded in 2025 by Don Muir, raised $14 million for its AI underwriting platform for private credit and private equity workflows; Highland Capital Partners, Left Lane Capital, NFX, Torch Capital, and Y Combinator back it, and total funding reached $24 million.

The week's spread — from AMD-backed GPU cloud capacity to sugar-free protein bars — signals that investor appetite in mid-2026 stretches well beyond foundation-model hype, with the largest checks landing in IT automation, tokenized finance, and AI compute.
