Thrilled to share our continued support of RevenueCat as part of their $50M Series C! Since we first partnered with CEO Jacob Eiting and the team, RevenueCat has become the backbone of in-app subscriptions for over 30,000 apps—powering more than $2B in tracked revenue annually. What started as a developer-first solution to a complex problem has grown into critical infrastructure for consumer software businesses worldwide. With this new funding, RevenueCat will double down on global infrastructure and new tools that help developers grow, monetize, and manage subscriptions—so they can focus on building great products. Congrats to the RevenueCat team on this milestone! Sofia Dolfe and the entire Index team are excited to be on this journey with you. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gxpv-6qs

Julie Bornstein has been thinking about search since she was a kid growing up in Syracuse, flipping through Seventeen magazine and hunting for the perfect outfit at her local mall. For 25+ years, Julie has earned her reputation as an ecommerce trailblazer. She has shaped digital strategies at Nordstrom, Sephora, Urban Outfitters, and Stitch Fix and founded THE YES (acquired by Pinterest in 2022).

We’re thrilled to lead a round of investment in Duna as they reimagine business identity, building a platform on the belief that business onboarding shouldn’t just be a compliance checkbox, it should drive growth. Founders Duco van Lanschot and David Schreiber met as early employees at Stripe, where they helped grow the business across Europe and saw what it takes to scale a global giant. At Duna, they’ve already assembled a top-tier team with experience from Stripe, Spotify, Adyen, and more. Today, enterprises like Plaid, Bol, Sequra, and Moss are using Duna to convert more customers and simplify compliance. Long term, Duna’s vision is to build a global identity network that lets companies passport their KYB information across onboarding flows. We’re proud to support Duco, David, and the team as they redefine an industry long overdue for change. 👀 Check out the link in the comments for more details from Jan Hammer and Katharina Wilhelm.

Autonomous systems — drones, robots, and sensors — are becoming ubiquitous, but most still operate in silos. Human operators are left stitching together fragmented data, limiting effectiveness and real-time coordination. Will Blyth and Rob Underhill founded Arondite to fix this, building a platform that connects disparate autonomous tools through a single AI-driven interface, delivering clearer oversight, better operational control, and safer deployment of autonomous systems. With experience across the British Army, MoD, Palantir, Helsing, BAE Systems, and Garrison Technology, Will and Rob bring a rare blend of technical expertise, real-world insight and startup acumen. Arondite stands at the intersection of AI and robotics — one of the most consequential frontiers of our time — and we’re proud to back them as they redefine human-machine teaming at scale. https://lnkd.in/eYnJzKsm

Ever thought about the journey of a glass of wine? Grapes are grown on a farm and sold to a winery. The winery sells barrels to a bottler, who ships crates to a distributor, who supplies your local restaurant, where one pour ends up in your glass. Millions of businesses trade $11 trillion in goods each year across industries that shape our daily lives. Yet the way they connect and coordinate that trade remains largely offline and manual, creating delays, risk, and missed revenue opportunities. Nuvo is building the infrastructure to accelerate trade in the physical goods economy. With a fast-growing network of over 50,000 businesses, the platform helps companies manage their identity, relationships, and trade interactions with greater speed, trust, and intelligence. Congratulations to Rameez R., Sid Malladi, and the entire Nuvo team on their $45M raise as they continue building the future of B2B trade. https://lnkd.in/dM49qphG
