Fusion’s best-funded bet raised another $1bn, and hired the banker who took Moderna public
The AI boom needs colossal amounts of clean, always-on power, which has turned fusion into one of tech’s hottest bets. Commonwealth Fusion Systems, already the best-funded player, has raised another $1bn to reach $4bn. And its new CFO, the man who took Moderna public, is a sign it is eyeing the stock market next.

The unsexy layer AI agents actually need: DataBahn raises $40m to sell it
The flashy part of AI is the models. The expensive, unglamorous part is feeding them the right enterprise data without drowning in cost.

Lula’s camp has taken it to the electoral court.
