Adaptive6, a US-based cloud infrastructure optimisation company with roots in cybersecurity, has raised $28 million in a Series A funding round led by U.S. Venture Partners (USVP) to expand its AI-powered cloud cost management and optimisation platform after a significant pivot from its earlier fintech focus. Founded in 2021, the company downsized its team during a market downturn and reoriented toward solving cloud waste and inefficiency rapidly gaining traction with enterprise customers including Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies. The fresh capital will be used to deepen technology development, scale go-to-market efforts, and support broader customer adoption in cost-sensitive cloud environments as enterprises increasingly seek efficient, AI-enabled infrastructure tools. This Series A round was led by U.S. Venture Partners (USVP) with participation from New Era Capital Partners, Pitango VC, Vertex Ventures, and Forgepoint Capital showcasing strong confidence from seasoned investors in Adaptive6’s cloud optimisation vision. The founders Aviv Revach (CEO), Omer Müller (CTO), and Eyal Brosh (COO & Chief of Engineering) previously scaled a cybersecurity startup and bring deep technical expertise to cloud-to-code optimisation technologies that help enterprises reduce unnecessary cloud spending through advanced AI workflows.

A growing share of seed and Series A venture funding in 2026 is being captured by unusually large early-stage funding rounds, especially in AI-focused startups, according to Crunchbase data marking a notable shift in how capital is distributed across the startup ecosystem. More than 40 % of early-stage investment this year has gone to mega-rounds of $100 million or more, a striking development given that such giant checks were historically rare at seed and Series A. This trend reflects intense investor competition and conviction in high-potential founders and technologies, particularly in artificial intelligence, where companies are racing to build foundational platforms and capabilities that can scale rapidly.A Growing Share Of Seed And Series A Funding Is Going To Giant Rounds

Members can create fundraising and share within or outside Newnex. Investors receive deals - privately invited from other investors.

Connecting Capital
Without Intermediaries

Newnex draws on institutional investing experience across global pension funds and development finance institutions (DFIs).

Despite advances in private markets, institutional investing remains largely offline and constrained by LP restrictions that limit participation through intermediaries or SPVs. Existing digital platforms offer limited direct access and operate with centralized control, making them unsuitable for institutional use.

Newnex eliminates these frictions by enabling verified institutional investors to connect, syndicate, co-invest, raise, and deploy capital directly - without intermediaries or SPVs. The platform maintains investor autonomy and governance standards while enhancing efficiency, transparency, and execution across private markets.
