Brandlight, founded in October 2024, has built a proprietary platform that tracks and analyzes billions of AI-generated signals across the customer journey, giving marketing, PR, content, and media teams clear recommendations for how to appear in AI search results and forthcoming AI-native ad formats. The system is already used by hundreds of global brands, including Fortune 500 companies such as Kimberly-Clark, LG, The Hartford, and Estée Lauder. As AI collapses discovery, media, and conversion into a single surface, Brandlight positions itself as the operating system that lets CMOs treat “AI visibility” as a dedicated budget line and measurable discipline. The product offers real-time monitoring of brand mentions on platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini, sentiment analysis, and identification of influential content sources, enabling brands to proactively influence how AI models present their narratives. With AI-native advertising emerging as a multi-trillion-dollar channel, the company plans to extend its tooling from AI search into AI ads and commerce. The newly raised capital will fund further platform development and global scaling. Although revenue figures were not disclosed, adoption by dozens of Fortune 500 firms signals strong early traction.

The company is led by alumni of Acme Packet and 128 Technology and is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts. Its solution is commercially available today. MaiaEdge has raised a $20 million Series A round to accelerate rollout of this federated networking infrastructure. No revenue or user figures were disclosed in the announcement.

Cork is building a protocol that supplies tokenized risk infrastructure, enabling standardized pricing, market-driven hedging, and redemption-liquidity backstops for on-chain assets such as vault tokens, yield-bearing stablecoins, liquid (re)staking tokens, and real-world assets. The system lets asset managers and issuers spin up custom swap markets to enhance redemption liquidity, improve risk transparency, and bolster market confidence. Its composable risk primitives integrate directly with ERC-4626 vaults and other yield-bearing ERC-20 assets, making risk management a native, programmable component of on-chain finance. Future plans include bringing the company’s first risk markets into production, expanding integrations with vault and asset issuers, and supporting regulated product pathways. Cork has secured $5.5 million in seed funding to finance these initiatives, providing the capital base for continued product development and market launch.
