Ringtime raises €1.8M to send AI agents after blue-collar candidates

Recruiters spend hours a day calling, leaving voicemails, and asking the same questions. Ringtime automates the whole thing, and has already found a second home in real estate. There is a well-worn frustration in blue-collar recruitment. A warehouse operative applies on Monday, hears nothing by Tuesday, and has accepted a job somewhere else by Wednesday.

Multiply raises $9.5M to build AI agents that keep B2B ad campaigns from going stale

The San Francisco startup emerges from stealth with Mayfield backing and a pitch that treats ad creative as a continuous learning loop, not a quarterly deliverable. Every B2B marketing team knows the problem. A campaign launches, the creative is fresh, the targeting feels right, and then, slowly, it starts dying. Audiences tune out. Click rates […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

Meta’s Manus AI agent arrives on your desktop to take on OpenClaw

Manus’s new desktop app can read, edit, and act on files and applications directly on a user’s machine.

Mastercard buys stablecoin firm BVNK for up to $1.8bn

For most of its fifty-year history, Mastercard has been, in essence, a message-passing network. A transaction happens; Mastercard’s rails carry the authorisation signal between issuer and acquirer in milliseconds; settlement follows on a separate, slower track. The system is extraordinarily reliable and extraordinarily profitable. It is also, increasingly, a system designed for a world that […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

Finnish startup Elea & Lili raises €2.5M to replace the plastic

Polyacrylate is the synthetic crystal at the heart of every modern disposable nappy, is derived from petroleum, and it does not break down. It persists for centuries, leaching microplastics into soil and groundwater as it degrades. The hygiene industry has long regarded it as an engineering necessity: nothing else absorbs as fast, as much, or […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

Former scaleup operators launch Operator Circle VC to back Europe’s next decacorn

Dozens of executives from European tech scaleups have backed a new venture firm built on the thesis that people who have scaled billion-dollar companies know which founders can do it again.

Compliance is the part of financial services that nobody likes to talk about, and nobody can afford to get wrong.
