Base Power Company raised $1 billion at a $13 billion post-money valuation, according to an August 12, 2026 Not Boring essay by an investor in the company. The account covers one firm, so it prices Base without measuring home storage as a category.

Navra, the new company of SoFi and Figure co-founder Mike Cagney, raised a $19 million Series A led by Ribbit for a self-custody front end to on-chain yield. Whether banks take it white-label will test if it is a neutral gateway or a sales channel for Figure, which Cagney chairs.

Valon raised $150 million at a $2.3 billion valuation, double the previous one, on more than $200 million of contracted recurring revenue signed in six months. The price is a bet that loans under contract actually move off servicers' legacy systems.

Salesforce agreed to pay about $2 billion for Listen Labs, roughly 67 times the AI interview startup's $30 million in annualized revenue. The price holds up only if selling those real-customer interviews through Salesforce's clouds lifts that revenue several times over.

Salesforce agreed to buy AI interview startup Listen Labs at a reported $2 billion, about 67 times its estimated revenue. Salesforce says the data will give its agents context, without saying how Listen's simulated customer answers are checked against real ones.
Reality
Salesforce agreed to buy AI interview startup Listen Labs at a reported $2 billion that neither company has confirmed. Buyers get interviews with real participants alongside digital twins whose accuracy against real customers Salesforce has yet to show.

Curators managing vaults on Morpho, a lending protocol with more than $3 billion in deposits, rely on offchain fees and subsidies, Crypto Briefing reports. A 10% cut of a 5% yield leaves the curator of a $100 million vault about $500,000 a year to run a risk team.

Rune Kvist's startup wants to sell enterprises an audited, insured answer to who pays when an agent fails, and the round was announced in a podcast episode that names Cursor, Harvey, Lovable and ElevenLabs.
Reality
The Series A led by Ribbit Capital takes AIUC's total funding to $55M, paying for quarterly audits of a standard that Cursor, Harvey, KPMG and four other named vendors certify against, and for a push up to frontier models.
Reality
The AIUC-1 standard runs an agent through roughly 5,000 risk and attack combinations and has to be renewed every quarter. Eleven Labs used its certificate in February to buy insurance covering a voice agent that misinforms a customer.
Reality
A $40M Series A led by Ribbit Capital pays for AIUC's move from auditing application-layer agents into underwriting frontier models, on its founders' argument that enterprise pilots stall in security review.

Salesforce is reportedly talking to Listen Labs at $2bn, four times the startup's valuation eight months ago and 67 times its $30m of annualised revenue. The seller's refusal of a signed round looks well timed.
Reality
Ribbit, Infinite, Bedrock and Sequoia put $600m into Mach Industries at $3.7bn, three months after $300m at $1.8bn. On those marks the second cheque takes 16.2 per cent of the company and the first took 16.7.
Reality
Ribbit, Infinite, Bedrock and Sequoia have put another $600m into Mach Industries at more than double the valuation they themselves set three months ago, lifting the Series C to $900m and lifetime funding past $1bn.
Reality
Listen Labs walked away from a signed $125m round at $1.5bn, which on the numbers leaves its existing holders about 45 per cent better off if the Salesforce talks close. Its smaller rival still carries the richer multiple.
Reality
The round is still under negotiation, but the multiple it implies will outlast the negotiation. That multiple is the figure every seller of coding agents will get measured against the next time procurement asks why the seat price moved.
Reality
Messari puts Morpho's outstanding loans at a record $5bn, with 95% of it stablecoin credit. About $1.3bn of that comes from Coinbase customers borrowing USDC against $2.5bn of cbBTC, and that prices out as a 52% loan-to-value book, not a leverage book.
