Archive, a New York-based creator marketing platform, raised $4 million in a seed round led by Stripe in November 2021, with participation from Lux Capital, Anti Fund and numerous operator angels. The startup addresses a core problem in influencer marketing: capturing and tracking ephemeral content like Instagram Stories that disappear after 24 hours. The company's products automatically scrape social media posts where brands are tagged and provide tools for managing creator relationships. Archive followed with an $8 million seed extension in March 2022 co-led by Tiger Global and Human Capital, reaching a $100 million post-money valuation and $12 million total raised. The platform now serves over 1,000 brands including Allbirds and Momofuku Goods, adding AI-driven video analysis to detect untagged brand mentions in the $37 billion creator economy market.

The US Army has awarded Rune Technologies a five-year, $99 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract for its TyrOS logistics platform, which addresses a critical weakness in military supply chains: the ability to function when satellite communications are jammed. TyrOS is designed to operate offline on laptops in forward positions under electronic attack, synchronising data when connectivity returns via radio, satellite or cellular networks. The platform integrates fuel, ammunition, food and spare parts inventory with vehicle status, transport routes, terrain threats and weather data, generating automated resupply recommendations. The system is already deployed with the 25th Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division, XVIII Airborne Corps and Marine Corps units. Rune previously raised $24 million in Series A funding led by Human Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz and Point72 Ventures.
