Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock
When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and eBay also backed Pacaso. They made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. Now, you can join, too.

Analysis of the last week's global funding rounds reveals key patterns:
Technology and AI Dominance: A majority of startups raised funds in AI applications—especially in healthcare (e.g., 1Kosmos, Amalgam Rx, Arintra), fintech (IVIX, Plum), and enterprise SaaS (Infinity Loop, Medallion). AI-driven platforms for automation, contract intelligence, and marketing are prominent.
Healthcare and Biotech Growth: Significant investments target biotech, digital health, therapeutics, and medtech, exemplified by firms like Gameto, SetPoint Medical, Mabylon, and Minghui Pharmaceutical. GenAI and ethical AI are emerging focuses.
Sustainability and DeepTech: Multiple raises in clean tech, climate tech, and sustainable manufacturing (Equatic.tech, Claros Technologies, Nibertex, Revo Foods) point to rising investor interest in environmental solutions.
Infrastructure and Mobility: Large funding for data center infrastructure (DC BLOX) and advanced mobility such as electric vehicles and eVTOLs (Ultraviolette Automotive, EVE Mobility) indicates ongoing expansion in these sectors.
Geographic Spread and Sector Diversity: While the U.S. leads with many large rounds, sizable raises also occur in UK, India, Switzerland, Canada, and Singapore across fintech, education, agtech, and space tech.
Conclusion: The funding landscape is marked by strong momentum in AI across healthcare, fintech, and SaaS, alongside growing emphasis on sustainability and advanced infrastructure. Investors favor innovation that blends AI-driven automation with real-world impact in health, environment, and mobility, suggesting continued multi-sector digital transformation in global markets.
