Here’s what we got into this morning:
-
Vertice raises $25M: The bet here is that companies are willing to pay to have another company, Vertice in this case, to help them find savings in their existing software and cloud spend.
-
Electra snags $330M: Charging EVs is big business, and Electra is wagering that building out its own charging network will pay dividends for a long time into the future.
-
Build a Rocket Boy collects $110M: This is a big round for a company with unlaunched gaming titles. That said, it must have a few super-cool things cooking to raise that kinda of cash in today’s market.
- We also looked at rounds from Onera, Weavix, Long Story Short, and Xyte. There’s a lot going on!
-
Thomvest raises new fund: Another day, another new fund, that’s the $250 million Thomvest story.
We closed with what could be good news for African startups. And with that, we’ll see you back here bright and early on Friday!
