PeakMetrics, an AI-powered media monitoring platform, has raised $6 million in a Series A round led by Moneta Ventures, bringing total capital raised to $16.3 million. Techstars, Parameter Ventures, VITALIZE Venture Capital and Gurtin Ventures participated. The Los Angeles-based company employs 22 people and serves over a dozen Fortune 500 clients. It helps companies track reputational risks shaped by social media and AI-generated content, addressing challenges as 90% of online content is projected to be synthetic by 2026. Co-founder and CEO Nick Loui said the funding will accelerate the company's mission of bringing clarity to distorted information. As consumers increasingly rely on AI chatbots for information, companies need visibility into how they're portrayed in large language model outputs.

VICTUS Technologies, a contested autonomy company, has closed a seed funding round led by Bow Capital, with participation from Techstars, Marque Ventures, 10VC and Intbox Ventures. The funding amount was not disclosed. The Washington-based startup develops hardware-agnostic software enabling autonomous navigation for drones, robots and manned and unmanned systems operating in GPS-denied, degraded or contested environments, from orbit to seabed. The platform allows autonomous systems to function when GPS signals are jammed, spoofed or unavailable. Founded by CEO Jesse Hamel, VICTUS aims to reduce military and first responder dependence on GPS signals that adversaries can disrupt. The funding will support platform development, customer engagements and team expansion.
