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.

Successful fundraise of £2m for elevate.io, the Figma for video

LONDON, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blackbird plc (AIM: BIRD), developer of the market-leading cloud video platform Blackbird and the browser-based collaborative video editor elevate.io, announces a successful £2 million top-up raise. This fully subscribed investment will accelerate elevate.io’s move from proven product-market fit to scale-up phase.

elevate.io: Browser-based, desktop-quality — with patented IP
elevate.io is a collaborative online video editor with professional-grade tools that runs entirely in the browser. For creators, it feels like a high-performance native desktop app. Powered by Blackbird’s patented, responsive technology and fully hardware agnostic, elevate.io delivers smooth, frame-accurate editing with real-time and asynchronous collaboration. This unique mix of performance and accessibility removes traditional barriers, costly hardware, and complex installs, making professional video production accessible for creators worldwide.

Solving a bottleneck in the Creator Economy

Clear path to revenue
elevate.io launched its paid Creator Plan in February 2025 and has a growing subscriber base, proving clear market validation.

Mozart AI Empowers Music Producers With AI Co-Production




Mozart AI Empowers Music Producers With AI Co-Production

London, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 85% of music today never gets released. London-based Mozart AI has raised $730K in pre-seed funding to solve this problem with the world’s first AI-powered Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that accelerates music creation without replacing the artist.

The funding round was led by EWOR (backed by unicorn founders), with participation from New Renaissance Ventures, Stefan Glaenzer (founder of last.fm, early backer of Monzo), Atlantis Ventures, and serial entrepreneur Felix Jahn. This fresh investment will be used to scale Mozart AI’s product and team ahead of its public launch on July 16, 2025. “Just 10 days after joining EWOR, Sundar, Arjun, and the team had built a first version of the product. They move at light speed,” said Daniel Dippold, Founder & CEO at EWOR.

Mozart AI founders: (L to R) Arjun Khanna, Immanuel Rajadurai, and Pascual Merita Torres, with CEO Sundar Arvind in the back row. 

The Co-Producer Revolution
Mozart AI’s intelligent DAW understands natural language commands and converts artist instructions into professional-grade musical output. Unlike generative music tools that create complete songs, Mozart AI acts as an AI co-producer, helping artists build tracks step-by-step while maintaining full creative control. “We’re eliminating friction, not creativity,” said Sundar Arvind, CEO and Co-Founder of Mozart AI. “Mozart AI was created to unlock creativity at the speed of inspiration, where every idea becomes a professional-grade song in minutes, not months.”

A simple command like “Hey Mozart, create a euphoric 8-bar chord pattern and EQ the lows out” produces engineered musical output in seconds – technical work that typically takes years to master.

The Mozart AI Digital Audio Workstation.

Built by Artists Who Know the Struggle
Sundar Arvind, a former tennis prodigy turned music producer, was signed to Spinnin’ Records (Warner Bros.) by age 14 and has over 2 million streams on Spotify. He co-founded Mozart AI with King’s College London teammates Arjun Khanna (former professional debater who represented India at UN debates), Pascual Merita Torres (AI master’s from the University of Edinburgh, 10+ years of music production), and Immanuel Rajadurai (AI researcher and professional bassist). Previously, Arvind and Khanna co-founded Blitzo, an AI delivery platform that reached £1.3M ARR.

Max Sarre, London producer with 1M+ streams, said: “I’ve avoided AI in my production for years, but Mozart felt empowering. The speed of suggestions and iterations is insane – feels like working with an AI replica of myself.” While Danny White, LA producer who has collaborated with Tiësto, added: “I was very impressed by how text prompts could perform tedious tasks instantly. This is the next big leap in music production.”

Ethical AI for Music Creation
Mozart AI commits to never training on copyrighted music and never generating complete songs. The platform launches publicly on July 16, 2025, with 25,000+ users already on the waitlist.

Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market Forecast Report 2025-2033 | Fueling Entrepreneurial Growth Amid Rising Investor Interest and Digital Access




Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market Forecast Report 2025-2033 | Fueling Entrepreneurial Growth Amid Rising Investor Interest and Digital Access

The Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market is poised to grow from USD 496.77 million in 2024 to USD 1.93 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 16.33%. Driven by digital penetration, regulatory support, and alternative fundraising acceptance, crowdfunding platforms are thriving. China, Japan, India, and South Korea emerge as significant players, each addressing unique regulatory challenges and market dynamics. Platforms leverage technology to democratize financing, but face hurdles like trust issues and cybersecurity risks. Key players in the market include Alibaba, Kickstarter, and Indiegogo. As regulations evolve, the market promises further growth and innovation.

Dublin, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market Size and Share Analysis – Growth Trends and Forecast Report 2025-2033” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market is expected to reach US$ 1.93 billion by 2033 from US$ 496.77 million in 2024, with a CAGR of 16.33% from 2025 to 2033. With major platforms using technology to streamline donation, reward, debt, and equity-based crowdfunding across a variety of sectors, the market is growing quickly due to rising digital penetration, regulatory support, and growing acceptance of alternative fundraising for social, creative, and entrepreneurial endeavors.

A thriving entrepreneurial climate, rising interest in alternative finance models, and higher digital penetration are all contributing to the robust expansion of the Asia-Pacific crowdfunding market. Crowdfunding has become a feasible option for entrepreneurs and creative endeavors looking for flexible funding choices in a variety of industries, such as consumer goods, social impact, and technology. People and small enterprises can now more easily interact with potential backers because to the availability of mobile-based platforms and increased internet penetration, which democratizes access to finance and promotes innovation in both urban and rural locations.

Numerous crowdfunding methods, including reward-based, debt, equity, and donation-based crowdsourcing, are becoming more and more well-liked throughout the region. Platform development and involvement are on the rise in nations with vibrant startup cultures. Market maturity is nevertheless hampered by concerns such disparate regulatory frameworks, problems with trust and transparency, and low investor awareness. The sector must concentrate on boosting user education, creating clear regulatory frameworks, and raising platform trustworthiness if it hopes to maintain long-term growth. Crowdfunding is on the verge of becoming a crucial component of the financial ecosystem in Asia-Pacific as more stakeholders realize its potential.

The crowdfunding industry outlook for India is based mostly on incentive and donation-based crowdfunding, but it also indicates that small and startup enterprises are becoming more interested in equity and debt-based crowdfunding. Accordingly, due to the growing restrictions on traditional bank loans and venture capital investment, companies are turning to crowdsourcing as their new source of finance. Additionally, in order to create a standardized platform that benefits investors, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) does regulatory evaluations for equity crowdfunding. For example, SEBI recommended in November 2024 to increase the investment range for angel funds from ?2.5 million to ?100 million to between ?1 million and ?250 million.

Startups can now obtain micro-investor cash through the distribution of small equity shares thanks to the new funding model. Platforms like Faircent and Lendbox, which serve as substitutes for conventional bank borrowing options, are also present in the P2P lending sector. Furthermore, achieving broad adoption of this funding technique is significantly hampered by the persistent regulatory uncertainties. As a result, when SEBI formally establishes regulations for equity crowdfunding, more companies will be able to access capital through decentralized investments within a democratic framework, and continuous innovation will increase.

Growth Drivers for the Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market

Growing Digital Penetration

The Asia-Pacific crowdfunding market has grown significantly due in large part to digital adoption. Both investors and fundraisers now face much reduced entry barriers thanks to the rapid growth of mobile technology and the ubiquitous availability of internet access. Crowdfunding platforms are now widely accessible to individuals and small businesses through computers or cellphones, which makes it easier to start campaigns and reach a large audience.

Digital marketing tools and social media further increase awareness, enabling initiatives to gain international backing and go viral. By enabling innovators, entrepreneurs, and social causes to interact with a wider range of possible supporters, digital accessibility has democratized the fundraising process and promoted a more inclusive financial environment in both urban and rural locations.

Shifting Investor Mindset

The growth of crowdfunding is being greatly aided by the changing attitudes of investors in the Asia-Pacific area. Many investors today are looking for investments that fit with their personal values, social impact objectives, or interest in specialized industries rather than just financial rewards. Platforms for crowdfunding offer a clear and direct way to fund innovative enterprises, social projects, and creative endeavors that might not otherwise be able to draw in traditional venture capital.

This shift in viewpoint has made it possible for underrepresented entrepreneurs and a variety of concepts to acquire momentum. Backers value the chance to participate in a project’s development from the start and frequently develop strong emotional bonds with the causes they fund. Crowdfunding is becoming more powerful and significant than ever before due to the increased appetite for intentional investment.

Cost-Effective Capital Raising

For startups, entrepreneurs, and creators in the Asia-Pacific area, crowdfunding is a desirable alternative to traditional fundraising techniques because it is accessible and reasonably priced. Crowdfunding allows people and small businesses to raise money directly from the public with little up-front expense, in contrast to traditional financing, which frequently entails drawn-out application procedures, stringent eligibility requirements, and expensive middleman fees.

On digital platforms, campaigns may be started fast, giving fundraisers the opportunity to reach a large audience and get speedy feedback. This strategy not only lessens administrative and budgetary strains but also increases brand recognition and early community support. Crowdfunding enables a wider spectrum of individuals to realize ideas without exclusively depending on banks, investors, or venture capital firms by reducing the barriers to entry.

Challenges in the Asia-Pacific Crowdfunding Market

Trust and Transparency Issues

Although trust and openness are essential to crowdfunding’s success, they continue to be major obstacles in the Asia-Pacific sector. Potential backers’ and campaign designers’ trust might be damaged by worries about dishonest campaigns, misrepresenting project objectives, and misusing funds. Backers may be reluctant to support projects without rigorous monitoring or verification procedures because they worry, they won’t see a return on their investment or receive the promised rewards.

In a similar vein, if public confidence in platforms is poor, reputable fundraisers can find it difficult to acquire traction. Establishing credibility requires open communication, frequent project updates, and transparency in the way funds are handled. Restoring trust and promoting wider involvement in the crowdfunding market can be achieved by strengthening accountability through platform laws and enhanced due diligence.

Rising Cybersecurity Risks

One of the biggest obstacles to crowdfunding platforms’ expansion in the Asia-Pacific area is cybersecurity threats. These platforms are popular targets for hackers because they manage a lot of sensitive user data, such as financial transactions and personal information. In addition to jeopardizing user privacy, data breaches, hacking, and fraudulent activity harm the platforms’ credibility and brand.

A single security breach can cause a large decline in user confidence, deterring investors and fundraisers from utilizing the platform. Crowdfunding platforms must use robust cybersecurity methods like encryption, multi-factor authentication, and frequent security audits to reduce these threats. Strong digital security is essential to preserving user trust and facilitating the crowdfunding ecosystem’s safe growth.

Bonx raises $8.6 million to champion European manufacturing with market-leading AI ERP




Bonx raises $8.6 million to champion European manufacturing with market-leading AI ERP

Bonx is empowering mid market manufacturers across Europe to optimize their manufacturing operations with its novel AI-powered ERP technology.

Paris, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Europe’s manufacturing sector is under pressure. Mid-sized factories – long the engine of the continent’s economy – are being pulled in two directions: on one hand, rising global competition and supply chain complexity; on the other, an urgent need to modernize with limited time, talent, and tools. Yet many manufacturers remain stuck with outdated ERP systems that were never built for their pace or precision. Bonx, a French startup building operational software for European industry, is changing that. 

Today, the company announced an $8.6 million seed round led by 9900 Capital, with participation from Kima Ventures, Purple, OSS Ventures, and Dynamo Ventures.

Bonx founders: Alexandre Barroux and Rémi Beges.

Founded in 2022 by Alexandre Barroux and Rémi Beges within OSS Ventures, Bonx is a modern ERP platform purpose-built for manufacturing. By combining no-code configuration, advanced AI capabilities and rapid deployment, the company enables mid-market manufacturers to digitize operations in weeks, not years. Bonx integrates seamlessly into existing environments, offering visibility and control across production, logistics, procurement, and quality – without replacing core finance or CRM systems. The platform is already being used by a growing number of French, Italian and Spanish manufacturers, including suppliers to Décathlon and emerging brands like French Bloom.

“Our mission remains clear: empower manufacturers to simplify and take control of their operations through technology that adapts to their precise needs,” said Alexandre Barroux, CEO of Bonx. “This funding propels us into our next phase – becoming Europe’s definitive ERP leader for mid-sized manufacturers, expanding our successful model from France into new key markets while scaling in Italy and Spain.”

Unlike traditional ERP deployments, which often drag on for months or years and require expensive consultants, Bonx is designed to go live fast and evolve with the shop floor. Customers report full rollouts in as little as three to ten weeks, along with measurable improvements in traceability, purchasing workflows, and inventory coordination. The software’s modular, visual interface makes it intuitive for operators and supply chain teams – not just IT departments – and its adaptability means factories can shape the system to fit their actual processes, not the other way around.

The urgency is real. Across France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, mid-sized manufacturers are facing growing technical and operational complexity. Shifting regulations, fragmented supplier networks, and ambitious sustainability targets are all increasing the pressure to modernize. Yet many of the ERP platforms still in use across Europe were built for a different era – rigid, opaque, and unable to keep up with evolving demands. Even basic changes to workflows often require custom development. As a result, too many industrial teams are still managing high-stakes operations in spreadsheets, or locked into systems that were never designed for speed or interoperability.

Team Bonx.

Bonx steps into this gap with a platform built precisely for the complexity of modern European industry, allowing manufacturers to gain operational clarity fast without ripping out existing systems. Their company reflects a broader shift in how Europe’s industrial backbone is being rebuilt – not just with machines, but with software that understands how production actually runs.

“By focusing exclusively on manufacturing and supply-chain operations, we’ve built Bonx to integrate effortlessly with existing tools, particularly general ledgers and CRM solutions that our customers already rely on and love,” said Rémi Beges, CTO of Bonx. “Manufacturers don’t have to replace the systems they’re accustomed to; Bonx complements and enhances their stack and acts as their operational backbone.”

Investor appetite mirrors the urgency playing out on factory floors. “Bonx is redefining the ERP landscape by combining extraordinary implementation speeds with genuinely impactful AI-driven capabilities, driving enormous efficiencies within an industry plagued by legacy software,” commented Juliette Sylvain, Principal at 9900 Capital. “We are excited to support Bonx as it sets a new industry standard and scales across Europe.”

With this new funding, Bonx will grow its team, deepen its product, and scale in Italy and Spain – two of Europe’s most important manufacturing economies, where Bonx is already present. The company sees clear demand for fast, modern ERP solutions that respect the way factories already work, while unlocking smarter, more connected operations. Over time, Bonx aims to become the foundational layer for industrial execution across the continent, offering a new kind of digital infrastructure that scales with production, not against it.

LogicFlo raises $2.7M to arm every life sciences expert with their own AI workforce




LogicFlo raises $2.7M to arm every life sciences expert with their own AI workforce

Boston startup’s AI agents transform how pharma and biotech teams execute high-stakes work – reducing timelines from weeks to hours while maintaining full regulatory compliance

Boston, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Across life sciences, the brightest minds are buried in busywork. Regulatory strategists, medical writers, quality and safety experts – people trained to bring therapies to market – are still spending most of their time formatting documents, managing version control, and stitching together fragmented tools. LogicFlo AI, the company building the AI agent workforce for life sciences, is changing that. 

The Boston-based startup today announces a $2.7 million seed funding round to scale its intelligent agent platform across the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medtech industries. The round was led by Lightspeed with participation from leading healthcare and enterprise AI investors. It will fund product expansion, team growth, and deeper deployments with global life sciences organizations, including a Fortune 500 customer already under contract.

Founded by Udith Vaidyanathan and Arun Ramakrishnan, LogicFlo represents a radically different vision for AI in regulated industries. In a space where ‘move fast and break things’ is a recipe for disaster, LogicFlo offers a new paradigm: move with precision. The platform gives every life sciences expert their own team of intelligent agents – AI collaborators designed to execute high-stakes, high-compliance tasks under human guidance, turning each specialist into the CEO of their own workflow.

“While the rest of the world is focused on automation instead of people, we are building automation for people,” said Udith Vaidyanathan, LogicFlo’s co-founder and CEO. “LogicFlo puts experts firmly at the center. The goal is to let the brightest people in life sciences do what only they can do – drive medical science forward and help elevate standard of care. “

Vaidyanathan previously steered key business units from inside Abbott’s CEO office before dropping out of Harvard Business School to build LogicFlo AI. Arun Ramakrishnan, co-founder and CTO, previously led deep learning efforts at Intuitive Surgical, where he built high-precision AI models for the Da Vinci robotic system deployed in real-world surgeries. “Traditional automation has failed life sciences because it’s too rigid, too brittle, and too out of touch with how people actually work,” explained Arun Ramakrishnan, co-founder at LogiFlo. “Our  agents are different. They’re intelligent, composable, production-ready, and they understand the nuance of scientific work.”

LogicFlo marks a fundamental shift from systems of record to systems of engagement in enterprise software. While most life sciences software remains focused on platforms that store information but don’t do the work, LogicFlo introduces a layer where users interact directly with intelligent agents that can take instruction, act, and deliver results. For the first time, work itself moves into a unified system of engagement, marking a paradigm shift in how knowledge work happens.

The platform is already deployed across medical affairs, regulatory, commercial, and quality teams at global pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Deployments typically begin with 20–30 active users and scale organically as teams experience the results. The impact is dramatic: medical writing outputs that took weeks now take minutes – with up to 2000x reduction in time to first draft – and response timelines for medical information requests have collapsed from 1-2 weeks to 1-2 days.

Unlike brittle automation or black-box copilots, LogicFlo was built from day one for production use inside regulated environments. Every agent operates within a fully auditable, human-in-the-loop system. Agents are SOP-aware, organization-adapted, and trained to follow each company’s specific templates, workflows, and compliance requirements. They collaborate as teams – breaking down work into subtasks, validating outputs, and escalating to human experts only when necessary.

“We are at a once-in-a-generation inflection point,” added Vaidyanathan. “For the first time, AI agents have reached a level of capability and control that makes meaningful productivity unlocks in regulated scientific work not only possible, but inevitable.”

Rohil Bagga, VP Investments, Lightspeed, commented: “We’re thrilled to back LogicFlo AI as they revolutionize how life sciences and biotech organizations operate. Their AI agent platform empowers medical affairs and commercial teams to build agentic workflows across diverse use cases, dramatically boosting productivity. Founders Udith and Arun combine deep domain expertise with exceptional technical acumen—we’re excited to support them as they drive transformation in one of the world’s most critical industries.”

LogicFlo’s agents support functions across the entire life sciences value chain: medical writing with literature-based content creation and full referencing; Medical communications and information response generation with SR documents, material for ad boards, congresses, journal articles, commercial content creation with compliant promotional materials and MLR workflow management; regulatory authoring for CTAs, INDs, and safety narratives; quality and compliance documentation including SOPs, deviation reports, and CAPAs and so on. 

With this new funding, LogicFlo will expand its agent libraries, deepen integrations with life-sciences native systems like Veeva and IQVIA, and grow its team to meet rising demand across the sector. The company’s vision extends beyond workflow optimization to redefining what work feels like for every expert in life sciences. “If we can give scientific experts a platform that moves at their speed, they’ll move science forward faster,” concluded Vaidyanathan.

OpenRouter raises $40 million to scale up multi-model inference for enterprise




OpenRouter raises $40 million to scale up multi-model inference for enterprise

a16z, Menlo Ventures, Sequoia and leading angels back the platform already trusted by over one million developers

NEW YORK, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OpenRouter, the unified interface for large-language-model (LLM) inference, today announced that it has closed a combined Seed and Series A financing of $40 million led by Andreessen Horowitz and Menlo Ventures, with participation from Sequoia and prominent industry angels. The investment will accelerate product development, bring new types of models to the platform, and expand enterprise support as OpenRouter becomes the default backbone for organizations that rely on multiple AI models.

“Inference is the fastest-growing cost for forward-looking companies, and it’s often coming from 4 or more different models. The sophisticated companies have run into these problems already, and built some sort of in-house gateway. But they’re realizing that making LLM’s “just work” isn’t an easy problem. They’re ripping out home-grown solutions and bringing in OpenRouter so they can focus on their domain-specific problems, and not on LLM integration,” said Alex Atallah, co-founder and CEO of OpenRouter. “This round lets us keep shipping at the speed developers expect while delivering the uptime, privacy, and IT guarantees that enterprises demand.”

Momentum Highlights

• Rapid growth to $100m+: Annual run-rate inference spend on OpenRouter was $10m in October 2024, and has grown to over $100m run rate as of May 2025.
• Developers are flocking: More than one million developers have used OpenRouter’s API since OpenRouter’s launch two years ago.
• Organizational trust: A global footprint, with customers that range from early-stage startups to large multinationals—all routing mission-critical traffic through OpenRouter.
• Ecosystem Investment: Integrated with Microsoft VSCode, Zapier, Cloudflare, Make.com, n8n, Posthog, and more.
• Deep partnerships with AI labs: OpenRouter recently collaborated with OpenAI on the stealth launch of their GPT 4.1 model, giving customers early-access to a frontier model, and generating valuable real-world usage data for OpenAI.

Why Companies are Choosing OpenRouter

OpenRouter’s Enterprise offering delivers the controls and assurances required by larger organizations:

• Zero-logging by default with the ability to route to providers with data policies that work for your company.
• Automatic multi-cloud failover across 50+ providers for best-in-class uptime.
• Edge-deployed (~25 ms overhead) serving billions of requests and trillions of tokens every week.
• Unified billing, reporting, and management. Real-time spend management, plus bring-your-own-capacity that blends customers’ inference capacity with OpenRouter’s burst pool.
• A single API, with standardized token accounting across providers. Whether you need tool-calling, caching, performance, or price, OpenRouter normalizes providers and models to a drop-in compatible API so businesses can focus on their product, not LLM integrations.

Whether an organization is experimenting at $500/month or running a global product consuming millions of dollars of inference, OpenRouter can provide the uptime, selection, and failover that companies need.

Supporting Quotes

“AI stacks are fragmenting. OpenRouter is unifying them with one API, one contract, and industry-leading uptime—exactly the kind of infrastructure play that defines new categories,” said Anjney Midha, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz.

“As professional developers build increasingly sophisticated applications, many are embracing multi models and even optimizing the performance of the same model across cloud providers. This has led to an explosion in the usage of Openrouter,” added Matt Murphy, Partner at Menlo Ventures. “Their hyper growth and rapid execution are both strong leading indicators of a special company in the works.”

“OpenRouter has been an early and enthusiastic collaborator on OpenAI models like GPT-4.1. Their diverse and active developer community has shared valuable feedback on how our models perform in practice. We’re excited to keep building alongside them as they help the world discover and use the latest LLMs,” said Tabarak Khan, Technical Success at OpenAI.
