Four Cities Capital

🚀 Big news: We’ve raised our Series A! We’re thrilled to announce that Capi Money has closed our Series A led by Creandum, with Janngo.africa, some great angels, and existing investors Y Combinator, firstminute capital, Four Cities Capital, The Raba Partnership, Kara Ventures, Rebel Fund, Maiora Ventures, and Pioneer Fund doubling down. This milestone is a testament to the incredible work of our team, the trust of our customers, and the belief our investors have in our vision. This funding allows us to expand the team, launch new markets, and accelerate product development. But more than that, it fuels our mission of growing GDP in emerging markets by making the global financial system fairer and more accessible. We’re honored to have Creandum and Jango on this journey with us and to have such strong support from our existing investors. In Simon Schmincke's latest blog post (link in comments), he shares why Creandum decided to back us and what’s ahead for Capi. A huge thank you to our investors, customers, team, and community for your continued support. This is just the beginning! 💡🚀 #SeriesA #StartupGrowth #Funding #ThankYou #Fintech

Ellipsis (YC W24) has raised a $2M seed round for its AI devtool that allows engineering teams to ship faster. Founded by Hunter Brooks and Nick Bradford, Ellipsis is an AI developer tool that automatically reviews code and fixes bugs on pull requests. It uses LLM agents to catch logical errors and security issues, and can even enforce a team's style guide. Engineers in over 24,800 codebases use Ellipsis' AI code reviews and bug fixes to ship 13% faster. The coolest part is that after Ellipsis identifies an issue, developers can tag @ellipsis-dev to have Ellipsis implement the fix. Internally, Ellipsis actually executes the code it generates, just like a human does. As a result, it allows developers to generate working, tested code directly from GitHub/GitLab.

🎉 We are thrilled to announce that we've raised an oversubscribed Kudos Series A ($10.2m) led by QED Investors! 🎉 We're excited to welcome Amias Gerety to our board and we are extremely fortunate to have the continued support of investors who believed in our vision pre-product over two years ago, including Patron, SV Angel, Precursor Ventures, the mini fund, Newtype Ventures, and the Four Cities Capital. We're also thrilled to welcome new investors like Brian Kelly (The Points Guy founder) and Samsung Next. When Ahmad Ismail and I started Kudos, our vision was to unlock “self-driving money,” starting with automatically helping our members unlock more earnings and rewards from all their credit card spend. This milestone accelerates our execution towards that vision. Special thanks to the incredible team that makes everything we do at Kudos possible: Nana Kwesi Peprah, Marc Jimenez, Yale Work, Brandon Kleiman, Camille Carandang, Meara Algama, Maria Schriber, Brian Yip, Evan Li, Samantha Lopez, Jesse Street, and Katherine W..
