en.Wedoany.com Reported - Artificial Intelligence and deep tech sectors have seen sustained capital activity recently, with multiple large financing events occurring intensively over the past 24 hours, covering areas such as quantum computing, AI agents, voice technology, and energy infrastructure.
Quantum computing startup Oratomic completed a $300 million Series A funding round on July 7, which, according to The Quantum Insider, is one of the largest early-stage financings in the industry. The round was co-led by ARCH Venture Partners, Spark Capital, and Khosla Ventures. Led by CEO Dolev Bluvstein, Oratomic was officially established only at the end of March, with the goal of building fault-tolerant, practical-scale quantum computers based on neutral atom technology developed in collaboration with Caltech.
Prime Intellect, founded just two years ago, raised $130 million in Series A funding on July 8 at a $1 billion valuation, according to TechCrunch, led by Radical Ventures with participation from Nvidia Ventures and Intel Capital. The company sells computing power and related tools to help enterprises train their own AI agents without relying on frontier labs; its target customers are businesses unwilling to depend on OpenAI or Anthropic.
In the European market, Paris-based voice AI startup Gradium, a spin-off from Kyutai Labs, secured approximately $30 million from new investors including Nvidia, according to Sifted, bringing its seed round total to over $100 million. Nvidia's involvement again underscores its continued investment in startups built on its own hardware.
London-based energy technology company Axle Energy completed a €21 million Series A round, according to Sifted, with investments from Energize Capital and Accel. The company converts electric vehicle chargers, home batteries, and heat pumps into grid balancing capacity, capitalizing on the growing demand for flexible power from utilities and data centers.
Lisbon-based customized printing products platform for small businesses, Bizay, raised $55 million in a Series D round, according to Tech.eu, with investment from Indico. The funds will be used to enter the U.S. market and add AI features across the platform.
From these funding dynamics, it is evident that investors are channeling large sums into quantum computing and AI agents, while European capital leans toward pragmatic areas like voice technology and energy infrastructure. Nvidia appears in two of these rounds, continuously fueling the ecosystem it already dominates. As valuations rise, the subsequent test lies in which financings can translate into actual revenue and which merely buy time.
