Reno‑based on‑demand metal fabricator SendCutSend secured $110 million in a Series B led by Stripe co‑founders John and Patrick Collison, Sequoia Capital and Paradigm, valuing the company at $1 billion. The funding marks its first venture cash after years of bootstrapping with personal savings and credit cards. Surge in orders from robotics, data‑center and defense makers prompted CEO Jim Belosic to accept Silicon Valley backing.

Nourish, a New York metabolic‑health platform, raised $100 million Series C led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator, Thrive Capital and others, pushing total capital to roughly $213 million. The startup pairs 10,000+ dietitians with AI coaching, lab testing and GLP‑1 prescription management, and claims coverage through most U.S. insurers. Investors argue the model could curb chronic‑disease costs by extending care beyond medication alone.

Group‑travel app WeRoad closed a €50 million ($58 million) Series C from Airbnb to scale across Europe and enter the U.S., targeting lonely Gen‑Z tourists. Meanwhile, UK cooling specialist Iceotope lifted $26 million Series B to expand liquid‑cooling patents for AI data centres, and Seattle’s Endurance Energy secured up to $30 million seed money to commercialise subsea geothermal power for islands and future hyperscale farms. All three rounds illustrate capital shifting toward niche infrastructure and experience markets.
