Bios Life combines clinical, laboratory, and genetic data to create ongoing "digital twin" models that continuously update an individual's cancer risk rather than relying on episodic scans. The company targets cancer survivors and people with higher genetic risk—groups it says together encompass over 40 million Americans—and highlights that more than 40% of people will get cancer in their lifetime with over 30% diagnosed at stage 3 or 4. Founded by former BioNTech executives and other clinicians and product leaders, the team includes ex-BioNTech and InstaDeep personnel leading strategy, AI, and operations. Bios Life owns commercial rights to the Nucleotide Transformer genomics foundation model developed by BioNTech-InstaDeep and has a multi-year data partnership with Tempus, with integration planned for Ambry Genetics. The company raised a $25 million seed round—their first external financing—and intends to use the resources to develop its technology and launch its U.S. platform in H2 2026, with a waitlist already open. Bios Life delivers care through a virtual clinic model with licensed teams working alongside cancer centers to provide continuous monitoring and tailored follow-up.

Exclaim Robotics develops mobile robots that autonomously navigate data halls, access rack fronts and perform hands-on maintenance tasks inside live server racks. Its initial scope focuses on narrow, high-frequency interventions such as cleaning and replacing fibre-optic connectors and SFPs, handling copper cabling, and swapping failed drives. The company emphasizes operating safely inside live 800-volt racks and aims to reduce labour-intensive manual maintenance while improving operational efficiency for data centre operators. Founder Helen Oleynikova, who has prior robotics experience at Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Willow Garage and ETH Zürich, leads the team alongside founding engineer Patrick Pfreundschuh, with two more founding engineers planned to join in 2027. Exclaim has positioned itself alongside startups such as Boost Robotics, Watney Robotics and Gecko Robotics in the data-centre robotics market and has stated goals of accelerating product development using its recent funding.

ZML develops inference-performance software, notably its newly launched LLM inference server ZML/LLMD, which enables a range of open-source large language models to run across Nvidia, AMD, Google TPU, Apple Metal, Intel Arc and other chips. The company’s earlier public project was an open-source inference-focused ML framework released in 2024 and updated in March; ZML/LLMD itself is not open source but launched as a free product to gather usage data. Founder Steeve Morin, formerly VP of engineering at Zenly, leads a tight team of about 20 people based in Paris. ZML positions itself to reduce vendor lock-in and allow enterprises and cloud providers to use mixed chip fleets for cost and energy efficiency. Its cap table includes prominent founders and researchers such as Solomon Hykes, Hugging Face’s Clément Delangue and Julien Chaumond, and Yann LeCun, signaling strong industry support. The company has raised $20 million from a syndicate of VCs to accelerate product development and future releases, while competing with inference-focused startups like Baseten, Inferact, and RadixArk.

Founded in 2022, Fractile develops chips and systems aimed at dramatically speeding up inference for frontier AI models. The company’s thesis is that time-to-output and inference unit economics—particularly memory bandwidth limits—are the next major bottlenecks as models generate increasingly long outputs. Fractile is working across AI research, chip microarchitecture, and foundry process innovation to reduce inference latency and cost. Its technology targets workloads that can require tens of millions of tokens and seeks to enable new, longer-running AI tasks by making faster inference economically viable. The company is expanding its team and hiring across London, Bristol, San Francisco, and Taipei as it scales development. Financial metrics, customers, and prior funding amounts were not disclosed in the articles.

Lithosquare develops a Geology AI platform that combines artificial intelligence with geological expertise to accelerate discovery of copper, rare earths, and other critical metals. The company validated its technology by operating alongside initial exploration partners before announcing its seed raise. Following the $25 million seed financing, Lithosquare plans a global deployment of the platform and is actively hiring engineers and geologists to scale operations. The startup positions its product as a way to shorten conventional, capital-intensive exploration cycles and to improve the economics of discovery. Financially, the company has secured seed equity backing from institutional VC investors led by World Fund. No revenue, user, or valuation metrics were disclosed in the announcement.
