Matrix Power Technologies, a startup founded by former executives from Huawei, has secured a Series A funding round with an eight-figure RMB investment from StarCharge. The capital will be used to accelerate research and development, expand overseas operations, and support working capital needs.Founded in 2020, Matrix Power Technologies develops advanced power infrastructure designed specifically for AI data centers, a sector experiencing rapid growth due to increasing demand for high-performance computing and artificial intelligence workloads.The company focuses on high-efficiency and high-density power architectures, including traditional 54-volt DC in-rack power supply systems as well as next-generation high-voltage direct current (HVDC) designs operating at 400V and 800V outside the rack. These systems are designed to deliver higher efficiency and support the rising power requirements of modern AI computing infrastructure.Matrix Power is also exploring emerging technologies such as solid-state transformers, which could improve energy efficiency and reliability in large-scale data center deployments. The startup aims to position itself as a critical infrastructure provider for the next wave of AI-driven data center expansion.Prior to this Series A round, the company raised angel funding from an unnamed publicly listed company, followed by a pre-Series A round led by Yushan Partners, indicating growing investor interest in the infrastructure powering AI computing ecosystems.As AI adoption accelerates worldwide, startups like Matrix Power are building the foundational hardware needed to support next-generation computing workloads and the massive energy demands of hyperscale data centers.

XCath has raised $30 million in a Series C funding round co-led by Crescent Enterprises and surgical robotics pioneer Fred Moll. The new capital will support the continued development and commercialization of the company’s endovascular surgical robotics platform, designed to improve treatment for stroke and other neurovascular diseases.With this latest round, the total funding raised by XCath has reached $92 million since its founding in 2017. The company is developing advanced robotic technologies aimed at improving outcomes in minimally invasive neurovascular procedures.The funding will accelerate development of XCath’s Iris robotic system, which is being designed as the world’s first commercially practical endovascular robotic platform capable of performing complex procedures such as telerobotic mechanical thrombectomy. The technology aims to allow physicians to perform delicate neurovascular interventions with greater precision and potentially expand access to life-saving care in regions with limited specialists.In November 2025, the Iris system was used in first-in-human procedures to treat patients with complex brain aneurysms at The Panama Clinic in Panama City. The milestone marked only the second time a surgical robot has been used in an intracranial neurovascular intervention, highlighting the potential of robotic technology in advanced neurosurgical procedures.According to Eduardo Fonseca, the investment will help accelerate the company’s mission to expand access to advanced stroke treatment and other neurovascular interventions worldwide.XCath operates from Houston, Texas, and Pangyo, South Korea, and is focused on developing next-generation robotic solutions for minimally invasive vascular surgery. The Iris system is currently under development and has not yet been cleared for commercial distribution.

AI video generation startup PixVerse has achieved unicorn status after closing a Series C funding round, with the round led by CDH Investments and participation from multiple global venture capital firms. The investment values the company at over $1 billion, reflecting strong investor confidence in the rapidly expanding generative AI video market.PixVerse develops AI technology that allows users to generate cinematic-quality videos from text prompts, images, or short clips, enabling creators, marketers, and businesses to produce professional content with minimal technical expertise. The platform has experienced rapid adoption globally as demand for AI-driven media production continues to grow.The Series C round also included participation from Antler, EnvisionX Capital, iGlobe Partners, Lion X Ventures, UOB Venture Management, and 3W Fund. The funding is expected to accelerate PixVerse’s international expansion and strengthen its technology development in generative video AI.Founded in April 2023 by Wang Changhu, a former Microsoft Research Asia and ByteDance executive, the company launched its PixVerse platform globally in January 2024. Since then, the startup has grown rapidly and attracted over 100 million users across more than 175 countries, making it one of the fastest-growing AI consumer applications.PixVerse recently introduced its R1 model, described as the world’s first real-time video generation system, allowing users to generate and modify video content interactively as it is created. The company says this technology could transform industries such as marketing, entertainment, and digital media production.With the new funding, PixVerse plans to expand global operations, invest in AI research, and strengthen enterprise adoption of its video generation technology. The company has also established a global office in Singapore to support international partnerships and market expansion.

AgTech startup AgZen has secured $10 million in Series B funding to accelerate the growth of its precision agriculture technology following strong adoption from farmers and industry partners.The funding round was led by DCVC Bio, with participation from Material Impact, Astanor Ventures, and a strategic investment from Syngenta Group Ventures.Founded in 2020 as a spin-out from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), AgZen develops technology that helps farmers optimize the way crop protection products are applied in fields. Its flagship solution, RealCoverage, uses sensors, computer vision, and AI to measure how spray droplets land on plant leaves in real time, enabling growers to adjust spraying techniques for better efficiency.The system can detect droplets as small as 150 microns while operating at field speeds of up to 18 miles per hour, providing farmers with actionable insights during spraying operations.AgZen’s technology has experienced rapid adoption among growers. The company reported that its RealCoverage system was deployed across nearly one million commercial acres in the United States, and commitments have already been signed to cover more than two million acres across three continents in 2026.Farmers using the platform have reported chemical savings of up to 50% while maintaining crop yields, highlighting the economic and environmental benefits of precision spraying technology.The new capital will be used to expand commercial deployment, scale manufacturing, and accelerate product development, as demand for the company’s solutions continues to grow across the global agriculture industry.

Robotics startup Sunday has raised $165 million in a Series B funding round, pushing the company’s valuation to $1.15 billion as it works to bring autonomous household robots into real homes. The round was led by Coatue, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Tiger Global, Benchmark, Conviction, and Xtal Ventures.Founded by Tony Zhao and Cheng Chi, Sunday is building AI-powered domestic robots designed to perform everyday household chores such as clearing tables, doing laundry, and loading dishwashers. Its flagship robot, Memo, is being developed as a fully autonomous assistant capable of operating in complex home environments.Unlike many robotics companies that focus on demonstrations in controlled environments, Sunday aims to deploy robots directly in households. The company plans to launch a beta program later this year, allowing early users to test the technology in real homes and provide feedback to improve the system.A major challenge in robotics is collecting real-world data that enables machines to understand unpredictable environments. Sunday has built a proprietary system called the Skill Capture Glove, which records human hand movements to generate large datasets that train its robotic models more efficiently.By combining proprietary data collection with AI models and vertically integrated hardware and software, the startup hopes to accelerate the development of robots capable of performing daily household tasks reliably. Investors believe this data-driven approach could help Sunday move beyond robotics demonstrations and into practical consumer products.With the new capital, the company plans to expand engineering teams, improve its AI robotics platform, and scale the deployment of its home robots through its upcoming beta program.
