Trupeer.ai Raises $3M to Unlock Studio Quality Videos for Every Software




Trupeer.ai Raises $3M to Unlock Studio Quality Videos for Every Software

Over 10,000 teams use Trupeer to turn raw screen recordings into instant, studio-quality product videos across 50+ languages for product marketing, customer success and training in seconds.

San Francisco, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Every product demo starts with a screen recording. But for most teams, turning that into something polished can mean hours of editing, painful handoffs, or bloated video tools. Trupeer, the AI video platform built specifically for software and business workflows, has raised $3 million to change that.

The seed funding round was led by RTP Global, with participation from Salesforce Ventures following Trupeer’s win at the Salesforce AI Pitchfield, and a consortium of over 20 CIO and CTO angel investors from Fortune 500 companies. This round supports Trupeer’s mission to reinvent how teams create product videos, tutorials, and walkthroughs. With a single raw screen recording, Trupeer’s AI engine can produce a clean, professional video in seconds, complete with AI voiceovers, avatars, highlights, and the ability to translate video instantly into 50+ languages.

Trupeer founders: Shivali Goyal and Pritish Gupta.

Trupeer was founded by Shivali Goyal and Pritish Gupta, who saw a pattern across teams: product knowledge was hard to share, and even harder to scale.  They experienced this firsthand, Shivali while driving digital transformation projects at BCG, and Pritish while leading large teams at fast-growing startups. That one insight led to hundreds of conversations with SaaS founders, IT leaders, and customer teams – all looking for a faster, more flexible way to create high-quality product marketing and training content.

“Software should be easy to explain. But until now, making good product videos meant spending hours editing or thousands of dollars on production,” said Shivali Goyal, CEO and co-founder of Trupeer. “We built Trupeer so anyone can turn a simple recording into a polished video that’s clear, searchable, and ready to scale, without needing any professional video skills.”

With Trupeer, teams drop in a rough recording of a demo, a process walkthrough or an internal how-to, and the platform handles the rest. Its multi-modal AI pipeline removes filler words, generates studio-quality voiceovers, adds intelligent zooms and subtitles, tracks cursor actions, and inserts a humanlike AI avatar for a more engaging delivery. Alongside the video, Trupeer automatically generates step-by-step documentation with screenshots and summaries, giving users everything they need to explain a product clearly, instantly, and at scale. 

Unlike traditional video editors or generic screen recorders, Trupeer is built to meet the speed and complexity of modern businesses. Its AI personalization layer creates multiple versions of a single video, tailored by audience, language, or brand style, and lets teams share them instantly through public links or embedded formats.

Trupeer is already being used by over 10,000 teams globally, from fast-growing startups to Fortune 500 companies. As a result, teams are going live with customers faster, cutting support tickets, and slashing training time across departments.

Trupeer’s momentum also reflects a broader shift: video has become the dominant format for sharing knowledge, and teams need faster, more adaptable tools to keep up.

“Trupeer is reimagining content creation by turning what was once complex, costly, and manual into a fast, automated, and scalable process. From onboarding to support and training videos, they’re making high-quality product content accessible in minutes”, said Madhur Makkar, RTP Global. “We’ve been incredibly impressed by the positive feedback Trupeer has garnered from its users—they’re clearly building something that resonates with a passionate customer base. We’re excited to support Shivali and Pritish as they build a defining company in AI-powered content infrastructure.”

Looking ahead, Trupeer is expanding beyond screen recordings. The team is building new ways to generate video from documents, personalize content at scale, and integrate natively with the tools where teams already work, from CRMs to learning platforms. Longer term, the vision is bigger: a system that doesn’t just create product knowledge, but acts like a common brain for organisations; allowing anyone, anywhere to create, share and access every single piece of information, workflow and process that exists in the workspace. Trupeer started with a vision to make technology accessible for all, and this fundraise is the first step in that direction.

MOTOR Ai gets $20M for autonomous driving software that will fast track global deployment of safe autonomous cars




MOTOR Ai gets $20M for autonomous driving software that will fast track global deployment of safe autonomous cars

The company is already operating its Level 4 autonomous driving software in Germany with safety driver.

Berlin, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a world racing toward autonomous vehicles, Europe has taken a different path – demanding not just performance, but explainability, safety, and full legal compliance. MOTOR Ai is meeting that challenge head-on. Today, the company announced a $20 million seed funding round to bring its certified, neuroscience-driven technology into full deployment, starting with German public roads.

The seed round was led by Segenia Capital and eCAPITAL, with participation of German HNWI’s. The new capital will flow into the final steps towards type approval for public roads and the subsequent deployment of autonomous vehicles.

MOTOR Ai founders: Roy Uhlmann and Adam Bahlke.

As the only German company, MOTOR Ai has built an intelligence for Level 4 autonomous driving that reasons through data, rather than just reacting. At the heart of the system is a cognitive architecture rooted in active inference, a model from neuroscience that allows vehicles to make structured, transparent decisions. That’s how MOTOR Ai makes autonomous technology transparent and aligned with human and regulatory expectations.

“Our solution meets key requirements for transparency and traceability of autonomous driving decisions, as required by authorities, said MOTOR Ai’s CEO and Co-Founder Roy Uhlmann. “That clearly distinguishes us from US providers and at the same time optimally complies with European regulatory requirements.”

As other providers pursue autonomy through brute-force data collection and black-box prediction models, MOTOR Ai has taken a different approach: one that is deeply explainable and certifiable on the world’s highest safety levels. Its full-stack system already meets the most stringent European and international safety and compliance requirements, including UNECE approval standards, ISO 26262 (ASIL-D), Regulation (EU) 2022/1426, Autonomous Vehicles Approval and Operation Ordinance (AFGBV), GDPR, the EU AI Act, and upcoming Cyber Resilience Act provisions.

MOTOR Ai: Autonomy as a Service
This year, vehicles equipped with MOTOR Ai’s Level 4 system for autonomous driving will start operations in several German districts. The vehicles are supervised on board by a safety driver to be taken out during 2026. These deployments include both, the full onboard autonomy stack and the technical supervision required by law.

For the team behind MOTOR Ai, these milestones are the product of years of deep technical development including regulatory groundwork. Since 2017, the company has built its entire autonomy stack in-house from Berlin, working in close dialogue with certification authorities and federal certifiers.

“In a regulated environment like Europe, trust and compliance are non-negotiable,” said Michael Janßen, General Partner, Segenia Capital “MOTOR Ai has built a solution that is not only technologically differentiated but fundamentally aligned with how Europe thinks about infrastructure and public safety. This is how autonomy will scale in future.”

“This ‘Made in Germany’ in-house development reduces inter-dependencies while strengthening Europe’s ability to operate in critical innovative technology”, says Lucas Merle, Principal at eCAPITAL.

MOTOR Ai’s vision: a certified, explainable driver system that can serve as infrastructure for safe, transparent autonomy – one that Europe can both build on, and believe in. Type-Approval after European and German regulation is foreseen in 2026

“We don’t think the future of autonomy in Europe should be a mystery,” added Uhlmann, explaining the fundamentally different approach Germany and the EU takes in comparison to other markets. “It should be measurable, inspectable, and designed to earn public trust. That’s what we’ve been building, and now we’re ready to scale it.”

About MOTOR Ai

MOTOR Ai was founded in Berlin in 2017 by Roy Uhlmann (CEO) and Adam Bahlke (CTO). The company develops cognitive AI systems for autonomous driving with a focus on explainable decisions, safety and regulatory compliance. MOTOR Ai has developed Level 4 intelligence for autonomous driving. The system, which is based on cognitive intelligence, is able to make decisions in complex traffic situations. In contrast to purely machine learning systems, which are based on (pre-)trained situations, MOTOR Ai’s system can make safe and comprehensible decisions in so-called edge cases, the central problem of autonomous driving. This results in two major advantages: the autonomous driver can be certified according to international safety standards and, due to its ability to generalize information, it does not need to be trained in all scenarios. MOTOR Ai plans to develop the first certified autonomous vehicle fleet for Europe.

INSPIRED Launches New Social Media Platform that Brings Together Innovators, Investors and Collaborators to Fuel Purpose-Driven Ideas




INSPIRED Launches New Social Media Platform that Brings Together Innovators, Investors and Collaborators to Fuel Purpose-Driven Ideas

INSPIRED is a digital space where bold, world-changing projects gain visibility, traction and support

ZÜRICH, Switzerland, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — INSPIRED today announces the launch of its new social media platform where innovators, investors and collaborators can connect to turn world-changing ideas into reality. By empowering purpose-driven innovators and enabling meaningful collaboration, the platform aims to create visibility, foster support and drive real-world solutions for a smarter, healthier and more equitable future.

Maximilian Werner, INSPIRED founder and CEO, worked in private equity research and saw firsthand the process early-stage companies go through to secure funding. It’s often a slow, daunting process of endless emails, cold calls and attending conferences to try and find the right investors – especially for companies in unique niches.

Werner thought there had to be a better way to connect people in different ecosystems faster and with a broader reach. He created INSPIRED to be a mission-based community to facilitate innovation on a global basis.

“There are so many world-changing ideas out there that never reach the people who can help bring them to life,” Werner said. “We built INSPIRED to change that. It is a place where real innovators find the support they need from day one. We also want to make the world a better place; that’s why we set out on this mission to accelerate the evolution of world-changing ideas.”

How INSPIRED Works
INSPIRED is part social platform, part collaboration engine. Users have four options when they join:

• Innovators: Visionaries and creators with bold ideas looking for funding, partners, mentors or advice as they look to grow their company or bring a product or service to market.
• Investors: Purpose-driven investors and investment companies looking for unique opportunities to support and scale innovative companies.
• Collaborators: Passionate individuals who strive to tackle challenges, champion transformative ideas and bring cutting-edge solutions to life.
• Enthusiasts: Anyone curious about the latest innovations and eager to follow the journey of ground-breaking ideas focused on shaping the future.

INSPIRED thoroughly vets the innovators and companies that want to join the platform, ensuring each one is out to solve a broad, real-world problem that will make the world a better place.

Innovators are free to showcase their projects through videos, success stories, case studies or any other purpose-driven content. Investors, collaborators and enthusiasts can follow, connect and engage with innovators that interest them – just like other social media platforms. Any venture capital investments or partnerships are conducted outside of the platform, and INSPIRED does not take a penny from any deals born from the platform.

Innovative companies that are already on the platform include:

• A Canadian-based manufacturer of land and amphibious emergency rescue vehicles deployed during search and rescue operations, helping save lives following a hurricane, earthquake, flood, etc.
• A pioneering biosphere farming innovator out of Switzerland that provides a sustainable method for cultivating high-yield, chemical-free food.
• A Swedish company developing technology to produce clean electricity from ocean waves, creating energy while also addressing global warming.
• A water purification / desalinization system producer out of Chile helping remote communities have access to potable water.

On the investor side, respected leaders such as HNW Family Office AG (a Swiss wealth management company), AVINA Stiftung (a foundation focused on funding healthy and sustainable food projects) and Anders Gustafsson (an individual investor) have joined INSPIRED to look for their next world-changing venture opportunity.

As innovation becomes more distributed and mission-driven, INSPIRED offers a new kind of digital launchpad. It is always on, open to global talent and designed to support the full journey of an idea from pitch to partnership and from funding to scaling.

re:cap lands in the UK to scale its Capital OS for tech companies, as it secures €125M for new facility




re:cap lands in the UK to scale its Capital OS for tech companies, as it secures €125M for new facility

Berlin fintech expands with a new funding structure backed by HSBC Innovation Banking UK and Avellinia Capital, powering the next phase of its operating system for capital planning and growth

Berlin, July 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the tech industry pivots from growth-at-all-costs to a new era of capital efficiency, founders and CFOs are under pressure to rethink how they fund and manage growth. re:cap, the Berlin-based fintech behind the Capital Operating System (Capital OS), today announced its expansion into the UK and the launch of a new €125 million credit facility for onward lending provided by HSBC Innovation Banking and Avellinia Capital. re:cap operates the tech platform and infrastructure on top of the facility, giving tech companies access to real-time capital planning and flexible funding. The move brings re:cap to one of the world’s most advanced tech ecosystems and provides opportunity for further international expansion.

The Capital OS is designed to help high-growth companies scale without overreliance on equity or the inefficiencies of traditional lending. re:cap combines flexible debt, real-time liquidity management, and capital planning in a single platform. This gives founders and CFOs full control over how capital is raised, deployed, and tracked.

Paul Becker, CEO and co-founder of re:cap.

“Over the past four years, our platform has helped hundreds of tech companies in Germany and the Netherlands scale efficiently – with zero defaults and full transparency,” said Paul Becker, CEO and co-founder of re:cap. “Now we’re bringing that same infrastructure to the UK, supported by more capital than ever, provided by our strong existing and new partners.” 

The UK’s expansion marks a pivotal moment for re:cap. As the second-largest tech funding market globally, the UK is home to thousands of startups and growth-stage companies navigating rising interest rates, valuation pressure, and stricter investor scrutiny. Many are exploring alternative financing models to preserve equity and invest in growth — but equally important is understanding when, how, and how much to fund. re:cap’s Capital OS combines access to non-dilutive capital with financial planning tools that help management teams deploy it with precision.

The re:cap dashboard.

The idea for re:cap was born when co-founders Paul Becker and Jonas Tebbe were consulting a private equity firm on digital due diligence. While prototyping financial tools, they saw an opportunity to integrate capital access with real-time analysis. Out of that insight, re:cap was born. Prior to re:cap, the founders built LIQID, Europe’s leading digital wealth manager.

Since launching in Germany in 2021, re:cap has deployed more than €100 million in financing across Germany and the Netherlands. Testament to the quality of re:cap’s underwriting is the company’s track record with zero defaults which has impressed institutional investors.

Phill Lovett, Head of Structured Finance at HSBC Innovation Banking, said, “It has been a privilege to partner with re:cap since 2022, providing warehouse funding to enable the business to build a high performing loan book underpinned by re:cap’s market leading credit decision-making software. We are extremely happy to continue to work with the company and welcome Avellinia Capital as an additional financing partner. Together, we will provide a scaleable source of finance to enable continued growth across Europe and the UK.”

The re:cap platform.

Julian Schickel, Founding Partner at Avellinia Capital, commented, “re:cap is solving a major headache for tech founders. Traditional banks rarely lend to startup and growth tech companies and venture debt is usually only available for later stage companies. With re:cap, tech companies can easily and flexibly receive growth capital, while benefiting from a powerful real-time analytics platform. We’re pleased to commence our collaboration with re:cap, leveraging an innovative financing structure, as we enter this next phase together.

With the new funding structure and UK expansion, re:cap is building toward a future where capital, planning, and execution live in one system. As more companies trade equity dependency for data-driven finance, re:cap aims to become the single system of record for founders and CFOs across Europe.

Novenda Technologies secures $6.1M to revolutionize dental products with breakthrough 3D printing




Novenda Technologies secures $6.1M to revolutionize dental products with breakthrough 3D printing

Dutch company’s groundbreaking material jetting technology for night guards and dentures eliminates manual labour in dental manufacturing while achieving unprecedented colour and material control.

Eindhoven, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As sugar consumption rises and dental visits become increasingly expensive, nearly 3.5 billion people worldwide struggle with oral diseases. The dental industry faces mounting pressure to increase manufacturing efficiency, particularly in markets where centralized manufacturing is becoming the norm. Today, Novenda Technologies announces $6.1m in funding to transform dental product manufacturing with its revolutionary multi-material 3D printing technology. This innovative solution aims to make high-quality dental care better, more aesthetically pleasing, accessible and affordable.

The $6.1m Series A funding round was led by Brightlands Venture Partners with participation from KBC Focus Fund (Belgium), Borski Fund (NL) and Limburg Business Development Fund/LIOF (NL) as well as a group of angel investors and an Innovation Credit from RVO.

Novenda Technologies was founded in 2019 by Klaas Wiertzema, Petra Doelman and Joost Anne Veerman following intensive market research and collaboration with dental professionals. The founders conducted extensive consultations with dentists, dental technicians, and other stakeholders to develop the right solution for the market. By 2021, the company had installed its first printer at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, achieving its first multi-material print using its proprietary software and materials. This milestone marked the beginning of an intensive development process, leading to a successful proof of concept for nightguards and dentures in 2023.

The company’s full stack technology enables the manufacturing of more comfortable, natural-looking dental products that combine hard materials for protection with soft materials for comfort – all in a single piece. This represents a fundamental shift in dental product manufacturing. While traditional methods require manual assembly and post-processing, the company’s platform combines multiple materials seamlessly in a single print run, using water-soluble supports that dissolve with a simple tap water wash. Most significantly, Novenda Technologies has developed smart print modes that achieve precise layer control without mechanical rollers – a limitation that causes ink contamination and restricted colour capabilities in competing systems.

Klaas Wiertzema, CEO and co-founder of Novenda Technologies commented: “The combination of water-soluble support and the absence of mechanical interventions to compensate for imprecisions ensures unprecedented long-term accuracy and eliminates the need for extensive post-processing. This is particularly important in a world where dental technicians are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.”

The platform’s impact is already evident. Its innovative colour management algorithm achieves unlimited colour possibilities using just a few base colours, while maintaining superior mechanical properties that ensure products won’t break during use. The system can produce up to 15 nightguards and 8 dentures per hour, making it ideal for mid-size and large dental labs. While Novenda’s LD100 printer represents a one-time investment, the LD100 works exclusively with its own materials to ensure quality and biocompatibility, generating recurring revenue while maintaining strict quality standards.

The timing of Novenda’s solution coincides with a significant shift in the dental industry. The workflow for producing dental prostheses is becoming increasingly digital, with oral scanners replacing manual impressions. However, existing manufacturing techniques haven’t kept pace with this digital transformation, often requiring substantial manual intervention. In several countries, this challenge is driving a trend toward centralized manufacturing facilities, where Novenda’s automated platform will have a huge impact.

Olga Goor, Investment Manager at Brightlands Venture Partners, added: “As lead investor, Brightlands Venture Partners is proud to support Novenda Technologies in this next phase of growth. Their multi-material jetting technology is a breakthrough in digital dentistry, enabling scalable, high-precision manufacturing with minimal waste and post-processing. This innovation not only sets a new quality standard for dental products but also enhances affordability of dental care for patients that are unable to afford alternatives currently available in the market. This will ultimately drive the transformation of the dental industry towards a more sustainable and equitable future.”

Novenda Technologies has built a team of fifteen experts across physics, chemistry, material science, and software engineering. These disciplines work closely together in a spirit of collaboration and trust, rather than competition and control mechanisms. Their innovations are protected by multiple patents, with more in the pipeline. Early feedback from the industry has been exceptional, with experts noting that the surface finish and aesthetic appearance of Novenda’s night guards are “the best we have seen,” and some even suggesting that “multi-material jetting is the future in dental.”

“Having an idea for a disruptive technology is just the beginning. Realizing this vision requires the right people, the right drive, and the right team spirit,” added Klaas Wiertzema. “At Novenda, we don’t just say that people are our most important asset – we live it. We are deeply committed to fostering a culture that stimulates and supports our team, ensuring that every member is motivated and empowered to achieve the extraordinary. This drive for excellence is reflected in our approach to providing customers with the most reliable and user-friendly printers, combined with the best support they could wish for.”

Looking ahead, Novenda plans to expand its platform to other dental applications and eventually enter new markets where individualized mass manufacturing is key. The company’s immediate focus is on deploying its technology in large and mid size dental labs across Europe and the US, where its high-throughput, automated solution can help meet growing demand.

“At KBC Focus Fund, we invest in deep-tech companies that push the boundaries of innovation, and Novenda is a prime example of this. Their groundbreaking multi-material jetting technology has the potential to transform the dental industry by enabling cost-effective, high-quality production of dental products with minimal waste and post-processing. We are excited to support Novenda in this next phase of growth as they bring their pioneering solutions to market and redefine digital dentistry.” added Nuno Carvalho, Investment Director at KBC Focus Fund.
