February update: 2026, we are on a roll

SimpliRoute’s AI agent made its CNN debut

The last mile in logistics is moving from passive tracking to active, autonomous resolution. SimpliRoute is leading that shift, and ADA, its advanced AI agent, was recently featured on CNN Chile alongside founder Álvaro Echeverría.

ADA does not just notify teams of problems, she resolves them: escalating security protocols during theft alerts, or calling customers on WhatsApp to coordinate delivery windows. Moving from notifying to solving is a big leap in operational efficiency.

Also worth reading: SimpliRoute’s latest manifesto on how AI is making the supply chain invisible, from founder and CEO Álvaro Echeverría and the team.

Plexigrid wins Best Software Solution

The power grid is the most critical infrastructure we have, and it was not built for mass electrification. Plexigrid provides the software brain to monitor and optimise electricity in real time, turning the grid into an intelligent, flexible ecosystem.

The team reached a milestone in Madrid: Best Software Solution for Electrical Grid Efficiency at the V Startup and Entrepreneurship Awards by La Razón. As we shift toward EVs and renewables, software efficiency is no longer an option, it is the prerequisite. Big congrats to the whole team.

Moonflow and Puntored: redefining debt collection in Mexico

Collections is one of those processes everyone tolerates and nobody likes. Moonflow, the AI-driven debt collection operating system, announced a historic alliance with Puntored, Mexico’s largest collection network.

By linking Moonflow’s AI engine directly to 50,000 physical and digital touchpoints, the partnership connects autonomous debt management with the actual infrastructure of repayment: real-time reconciliation, AI agents that negotiate with debtors, and borrowers who can pay instantly at the country’s most extensive network.

In a market where growth at all costs has been replaced by efficiency, Moonflow is proving that the future of recovery is about removing friction. More on the alliance with Puntored.

Doubling down on Sidekick’s £8M Series A

Sidekick is dismantling the barriers to private markets and liquidity that have sidelined retail investors for decades, and this month we announced our participation in their £8M Series A round. Sophisticated wealth management should not be reserved for the ultra-wealthy.

Matt Ford is a repeat founder and it shows: Sidekick covers investing, savings, private markets and lending, bringing tools once reserved for private banking to a much broader audience, without the complexity. Thousands of customers already trust it with their capital. We are proud to back him alongside Eos Ventures and the Development Bank of Wales. Sky News covered the round. Sidekick has also just launched its first Crypto ETN on the London Stock Exchange.

Count is a G2 Best Software winner for 2026

Build first, chase hype never. Count has been named a G2 Best Software Award winner in the Analytics category, a reward for building a platform teams actually use to solve real problems.

Count combines a flexible, collaborative canvas with deep data capabilities, and its AI agent lives inside that canvas rather than in a separate chatbot, so teams can analyse data, generate visualisations and decide in real time. Congratulations to Ollie Hughes and the whole team.

BrandLovers AI is redefining cash flow for the creator economy

Great founders fix broken systems. In the creator economy, waiting up to 120 days to get paid is still the standard. This month BrandLovers AI challenged that with CreatorPay, which lets creators access their earnings the moment content goes live, while brands keep their usual payment cycles.

By removing four-month wait times, Rapha Avellar and his team are doing more than optimising a marketplace, they are treating creators as essential media partners. More in their announcement.

Harmony Baby Nutrition’s momentum

Harmony Baby Nutrition is bringing infant formula into the 21st century. The sector has relied for decades on cow’s milk and harsh processing that one in five babies simply cannot tolerate; Harmony uses biotechnology to create formulas that mimic human breast milk.

Its first product, Melodi, has already shown a 61% higher sensory acceptance rate than standard hypoallergenic options. After a $5.8M milestone from the Brazilian Development Bank and Finep, the team is raising its latest round to scale the biotech. The Latin Times covered the story.
