On 29 September 2026 Reco added $55M to reach $140M in total while Rig Security left stealth with $12M, both betting that non-human identity governance is a market. CSA research puts the underlying gap at 20% revocation maturity and 1 in 20 identities holding full admin.

Charter Space raised an oversubscribed $5M seed and already owns its insurance brokerage. Engineering software first, then a product with Munich Re and AXA XL, then the distribution layer. With 97% of operational satellites uninsured, the constraint is no longer demand. It is the cost of the file.
Efficient Computer signed agreements for more than $97M at a $650M valuation to move a validated edge architecture into the data centre. Electron E1 runs on 1,000+ physical AI robots at up to 1 TOPS per watt. The data centre chip has no name and no tape-out date.
