Early-stage VC backing AI and Web3

By combining venture capital with elements of private equity, M13 aims to be a long-term partner rather than just a funder.

What believers are saying

  • June and August 2026 investments in Rime and Baselayer show active sourcing.

  • Fresh fund filings and continuing 2026 investments suggest strong capital availability and relevance.

What critics are saying

  • Fund V's $400 million size pressures M13 to deploy faster in 2026.
  • Layla's 2026 exit to Expedia Group proves M13 backs businesses vulnerable to acqui-hire dynamics.
  • Deal counts fell from nine to six over twelve months, signaling weaker momentum.

Ayble Health, an AI-enabled virtual digestive health clinic, has closed an oversubscribed $16 million Series A round led by Neon. The funding brings the Boston-based company's total capital raised to over $27 million. The company plans to expand its services beyond gastrointestinal conditions into autoimmune health. Ayble now covers 80 million Americans through partnerships with payers, employers, and health systems, and is in-network with most commercial health plans. Ayble's multidisciplinary care model combines GI specialists, dietitians, behavioural health experts, and AI technology. The company has published 16 peer-reviewed clinical studies and reports an average 47% improvement in GI symptoms for patients within four weeks. Founder Sam Jactel, who has inflammatory bowel disease, said the funding will deepen AI precision care capabilities whilst extending services to autoimmune conditions.
