Dublin-based LearnUpon has secured a €44.5 million ($50 million) growth financing facility from London-based Claret Capital Partners. The debt structure lets LearnUpon avoid equity dilution, and the company says the money will go toward its new Agentic Learning Platform, international expansion, and strategic acquisitions. LearnUpon, founded in 2012, previously acquired Berlin-born Courseau, which rebranded as CreateUpon in May.
Why it matters: Duvo's $32M Series A and its founder's account of why most agentic AI deployments stall offer a concrete look at enterprise automation economics.
Why it matters: Harmonic's $50M Series B lands as two rivals get acquired, so readers can weigh whether standalone AI-usage security survives or gets absorbed into larger platforms.
London-based offensive security startup CodeWall launched with $4 million in pre-seed funding led by Osney Capital for autonomous AI agents that attack enterprises the way an outside hacker would. In an earlier engagement, an agent with no credentials gained read and write access to the production database behind McKinsey's Lilli AI platform within two hours. CodeWall pitches the ongoing testing as a replacement for the once- or twice-a-year penetration test.
