Three Global Startups Raise Combined $111M Across AI, Stablecoins and Chiplets

Feathery has closed a $30 million round led by Portage Ventures, with participation from Index Ventures, Allstate Strategic Ventures, Clocktower Ventures, Erie Strategic Ventures and Bain Capital Ventures. Ventureburn reported that the company, founded by Peter Dun and Zack Khan, is building an AI platform aimed at the financial services sector. The new capital is earmarked for products that automate workflow processes, assist with business decision-making and strengthen data intelligence. According to the report, the platform consolidates and structures client data and keeps it synchronised across banks' core systems, addressing the challenge institutions face when stitching together multiple automation tools across products, customer segments and regulatory environments.

Separately, London-based Velocity raised $38 million in a Series A round for its enterprise stablecoin services. Ventureburn reported the round was co-led by Dragonfly and FirstMark, with participation from Activants Capital, Capital One Ventures, QED Investors, Coinbase Ventures, Wintermute Ventures and Ripple. The financing brings Velocity's total funding to nearly $50 million since it launched in 2025. Founded by Eric Queathem, the company provides treasury technology built on regulated stablecoins, enabling businesses to hold, transfer and settle funds. According to the report, the platform is designed to deliver faster settlement, improved liquidity management and lower cross-border transaction costs — features with clear relevance to companies moving money between regions.
