Bengaluru-based Runable has raised $21 million in Series A funding to expand its AI platform for building and operating businesses, Ventureburn reported. The round was co-led by Susquehanna Venture Capital and Nexus Venture Partners, with existing investors Together Fund and Array VC also participating.

Founded in 2025 by Umesh Kumar and Saksham Sarda, the startup has grown to roughly 1.5 million users with a team of 15. The company said its launch took annualised revenue from zero to $2 million within three weeks. The platform can build websites, mobile applications, internal tools and pitch decks, and includes infrastructure such as databases, authentication, payments and deployment. It also supports ongoing operations including market analysis, prospect generation, customer support, SEO and competitor monitoring, and is expanding into AI-driven marketing across channels such as ChatGPT Ads, Meta, Google, LinkedIn and TikTok.

Adaptyv Bio closes €34.35 million Series A

Lausanne-based Adaptyv Bio has raised a €34.35 million ($40 million) Series A round to build an automated wet lab for AI-driven protein design, according to EU-Startups. The round was led by Highland Europe, with existing investors Ace Ventures, ByFounders and Y Combinator increasing their stakes. Ace Ventures had led the company's €6.8 million ($8 million) Seed round in late 2024.

Founded by Julian Englert and Daniel Nakhaee-Zadeh Gutierrez, Adaptyv operates a lab where the process begins with a digital protein sequence and ends with experimental data. DNA is synthesised in-house, proteins are expressed cell-free, and binding is measured using SPR with built-in quality control. Customers can submit designs through a web platform or an API, allowing AI agents to order experiments directly. Since the Seed round in November 2024, when the startup had nine people, the team has tripled and revenue has grown roughly tenfold, EU-Startups reported.
