nexos.ai secures €30M Series A to tackle the enterprise #AI adoption challenge Vilnius-based nexos.ai has raised €30 million in Series A funding to help enterprises adopt AI securely and at scale — addressing the growing risks of “Shadow AI”, where employees use consumer AI tools that may expose confidential data. The round was co-led by Evantic Capital and Index Ventures, with participation from Creandum, DIG Ventures, and Angel Investors Network. Launched just six months ago, nexos.ai is already making waves with its unified platform that combines an AI Workspace for employees and an AI Gateway for developers — providing a secure, central control layer across 200+ models. With guardrails, compliance tools, cost controls, and observability, nexos.ai aims to bridge the gap between innovation and enterprise readiness, empowering organizations to deploy AI safely and effectively. The funding will fuel product scaling, European and North American expansion, and education partnerships to close the enterprise AI skills gap.

Intel vacates Habana Labs’ offices as founders return with a new AI startup. Element Labs, founded by the same team behind Intel’s failed $2 billion acquisition, will now occupy the Caesarea offices once seen as the cornerstone of Intel’s AI future.

Something’s shifting again in the ecosystem. The AI gold rush has aged into something sharper, half acceleration, half existential audit. Founders talk efficiency, boards talk governance, and every CTO in the city is balancing growth with moral math, trying not to become another “move fast, break ethics” case study. That’s the tension crackling as NYC gears up for TechTable by Vention on Oct 30, 2025. It’s not a mega-conference or another “innovation summit.” It’s dinner, tight, curated, no slide decks, where the people shaping #automation, #AI, and #software’s next act meet to compare battle scars in real time. #GenerativeAI went from lab trick to backbone. #ML’s now a utility. Automation isn’t an upgrade, it’s survival. Across #finance, #healthtech, and #cybersecurity, competition isn’t about who builds faster but who builds smarter, safer, and more scalable. TechTable hits that nerve. Set in the private room at Raines at The William, it convenes 20–25 leaders, CTOs, Heads of AI/ML, founders, and investors who know insight only matters when it’s earned, not announced. Vention, the architect behind the night, has been building #digitalinfrastructure since 2002, powering startups and #Fortune500 alike. The guest list reads like a cross-section of modern innovation: a banking exec managing 1K+ AI use cases, a #healthtech CTO redefining patient empathy through code, a c#ybersecurity pioneer turning misinformation into a solvable engineering problem. And then there’s Ali Shahriyari, the technologist-adventurer who’s spent 25+ years turning moonshots into motion. As Co-Founder and ex-CTO of Reality Defender, a YC-backed company that’s raised $40M+, he built one of the world’s top #deepfake detection platforms now used by the #Fortune100 and government agencies. The format is conversation over ceremony. “Table talks” replace presentations. Guided prompts dig into scaling responsibly, measuring ROI, and keeping culture alive while automating at scale. Every rotation breaks silos, pushing operators, builders, and investors to challenge what they think they know. It’s not dialogue, it’s due diligence, live. Expect a mix of builders powering #governmentmodernization, #digitalcommerce, #fintech, #health data, #realestate automation, #compliance, and cybersecurity. Together, they form a quiet orchestra of sectors re-wiring how work, trust, and data connect. This is about who’s transforming quietly and what they’ve learned in the fire. On Oct 30, TechTable by Vention delivers a night where insight becomes currency, honesty becomes capital, and the next wave of builders trade stories before they make headlines.

AI Pulled Tech Back Silicon Valley and San Francisco Marc Andreessen said it best: “100% of the AI companies that matter are within 20 miles of my office in Silicon Valley.” During COVID, everything spread out — talent, startups, capital. Everyone thought geography was over. Then AI changed the math. AI thrives on amalgamation economies — when talent, compute, capital, and ideas cluster together. The feedback loops get tighter. You learn faster. Deals happen faster. Innovation compounds. The same tech money that enabled remote work is now forcing people back into proximity. If you want to be in movies, young man, move to Hollywood. If you want to be tech, move to Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Now we need to get those young men back to Hollywood.

💡 A recent report warns that tech investment in the UK remains heavily concentrated in #Oxford, #Cambridge, and #London, reinforcing inequality rather than closing it. https://lnkd.in/evcXNmGP For others backing SaaS and scaleups: if we don’t invest with geographical intention, we risk “hollowing out” places with growing potential. It's time to ask: what does a truly dispersed, resilient tech nation look like?

Tech giant Meta has partnered with Blue Owl Capital to finance its new “Hyperion” data-center campus in Richland Parish, Louisiana. The facility is expected to deliver over 2 gigawatts of compute capacity initially and scale toward 5 gigawatts by 2029, making it one of the largest single data-center builds in the AI infrastructure boom. https://buff.ly/KCC7FPD

What if Big Tech Runs Out of Capital? What if the biggest players in tech — the ones building trillion-dollar data centers, burning billions on compute, and branding every move as “AI innovation” — suddenly ran out of capital? It sounds impossible… until you look closer. Much of what’s happening today isn’t innovation. It’s preservation. These companies are not creating new value — they’re racing to stay relevant. Their “AI breakthroughs” are just more compute, more infrastructure, more branding. The ideas are circular, and the outcomes are the same: more noise, less clarity. But what happens when the funding slows? When investors realize the returns don’t match the hype? If Big Tech runs out of capital, the illusion breaks. The world starts to see that the real innovation isn’t in how many GPUs you own — it’s in how well your systems are governed, structured, and connected to real outcomes. That’s when governance becomes the new gold. Structure replaces scale. Process replaces marketing. And sustainable, purpose-driven systems — built to align people, data, and AI — rise from the wreckage. The next era of intelligence won’t be built by whoever spends the most. It’ll be built by whoever governs the best.
