Security, Privacy and AI Infrastructure Keep Drawing Capital as Funding Cools
Startup funding slowed last week, but investor capital continued to concentrate around the same high-priority themes reshaping the tech economy: security, privacy and the infrastructure needed to support AI at scale. The largest rounds suggest a market rewarding businesses that reduce risk, protect data and solve the physical bottlenecks behind next-generation computing.

Startup fundraising eased during the week, but the biggest checks still revealed where investors believe durable value is forming. Capital continued to flow toward companies that protect data, harden systems and address the infrastructure constraints created by the AI boom, even as announced U.S. deals came in below recent highs.
The week’s largest disclosed round went to Cloaked, which raised $375 million in Series B funding for its consumer privacy and security platform. Frore Systems followed with $143 million for cooling architecture built for AI computing and networking hardware. Cybersecurity companies XBow and Oasis Security each raised $120 million, reinforcing a broader investment view that risk-management tools remain essential as the digital attack surface expands. Other funding touched healthcare AI, biotech, robotics and social media, but the pattern was consistent: capital is favoring businesses tied to critical infrastructure and operational resilience.
1. Cloaked, $375 million, privacy: Cloaked raised $375 million in Series B funding led by General Catalyst and Liberty City Ventures. The Massachusetts-based company, founded in 2020, sells monthly privacy and security subscriptions for individuals and families. The size of the round signals that consumer security is moving beyond a niche category and into a meaningful commercial market with real scale.
2. Frore Systems, $143 million, AI infrastructure: Frore Systems closed a $143 million Series D round led by MVP Ventures at a $1.64 billion valuation. The San Jose-based company develops integrated cooling architecture for AI computing and networking hardware. The financing reflects a growing investment thesis: the AI economy is not only creating demand for software, but also for the physical systems required to keep it running.
3. XBow, $120 million, cybersecurity: Seattle-based XBow raised $120 million in Series C funding led by DFJ Growth and Northzone. The two-year-old company builds autonomous security testing technology and is now valued at more than $1 billion. The valuation underscores investor conviction that automated defense tools are becoming indispensable as enterprise attack surfaces continue to widen.
4. Oasis Security, $120 million, cybersecurity: Oasis Security secured $120 million from Craft Ventures, Cyberstarts, Sequoia Capital and Accel. The company focuses on identity security tools designed for AI agents, a fast-emerging need as enterprises look for ways to govern machine-to-machine access and close security gaps before they become liabilities.
5. Imperative Care, $100 million, medical devices: Imperative Care raised $100 million in convertible note financing from Elevage Medical Technologies and Perceptive Advisors. The Campbell, California-based company develops devices for treating stroke and vascular diseases caused by blood clot formation. The financing shows continued investor interest in high-impact healthcare technologies with clear clinical demand.
6. Bluesky, $100 million, social media: Bluesky disclosed that it previously closed a $100 million Series B round last spring led by Bain Capital Crypto. The disclosure points to continued investor interest in alternative social platforms, even as monetization and user growth remain difficult in a crowded market.
7. Cape, $100 million, privacy and security: Cape raised $100 million in Series C funding led by Bain Capital Ventures and IVP, valuing the Arlington, Virginia-based mobile network at $900 million. The company’s momentum suggests strong investor demand for privacy-first communications products that can differentiate through trust and security.
8. Latent, $80 million, healthcare AI: Latent secured $80 million in Series A funding led by Spark Capital and Transformation Capital. The San Francisco-based company is building an AI platform designed to help move patients from clinical decision to therapy, showing how healthcare AI is increasingly being positioned as workflow infrastructure rather than a speculative experiment.
9. Crossbow Therapeutics, $77 million, biotech: Crossbow Therapeutics raised $77 million in Series B funding led by Taiho Ventures and Arkin Bio Ventures. The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based biotech is developing antibody therapies for a broad range of cancers, and the financing will support a Phase 1 clinical trial for its lead program.
10. RoboForce, $52 million, robotics: RoboForce said it picked up $52 million in new funding, bringing total capital raised to $67 million. YZi Labs led the round for the Milpitas, California-based startup, which is developing AI-enabled robot labor for industrial environments. The deal reflects growing interest in automation that can address labor shortages and operational inefficiencies in physical industries.

Venture funding may be tightening, but the latest weekly activity shows investors are not stepping away—they’re concentrating capital. Across the biggest rounds, three themes stood out: • Security & privacy: Cloaked led with a $375M Series B as consumer and enterprise data protection demand accelerates. • AI infrastructure: Frore Systems ($143M) signals continued investment in the compute and networking layer that makes AI scalable. • Healthcare & biotech: Imperative Care ($100M) and Latent ($80M) highlight ongoing momentum in AI-enabled clinical workflows and medical device innovation. What this means for sports businesses In a more disciplined environment, funding is flowing toward “resilience infrastructure”—the building blocks that reduce risk and improve operational efficiency. That directly maps to the next wave of digital sports experiences: • Fan data security & identity protection (to reduce breach risk and support personalization) • Athlete health and clinical decision support (to improve outcomes and streamline care) • Venue operations and media production automation (to cut costs and speed workflows) The takeaway: as capital gets scarcer, the market rewards platforms that protect data, reduce operational risk, and deliver measurable efficiency gains. How are you positioning your organization for the next funding cycle—or for the next procurement cycle? If your product touches security, AI infrastructure, or healthcare-adjacent workflows, you’re in the sweet spot investors are still backing.

Cooler week for startup funding—but investors stayed loud on security + AI infrastructure. Cloaked ($375M) privacy, Frore ($143M) AI cooling, XBow & Oasis ($120M each) cybersecurity. Defensive tech is durable.
#StartupFunding#Cybersecurity#AIInfrastructure#PrivacyTech#VentureCapital#TechNews
Startup funding may have cooled, but investor intent didn’t. Across the biggest U.S. rounds of March 14–20, one theme stood out: protecting data and systems—while building the infrastructure that makes AI usable at scale. Even as announced rounds were smaller than recent highs, the capital that did move clustered around security, privacy, and AI infrastructure. That concentration is telling: when markets tighten, “defensive” technology often becomes the clearest path to durable value. Top deals highlight the pattern: • Cloaked (Series B, $375M): Consumer privacy and security subscriptions—proof privacy is now a mainstream, commercially viable category. • Frore Systems (Series D, $143M): Integrated cooling architecture for AI computing and networking hardware—reminding us that AI growth depends on physical infrastructure. • XBow (Series C, $120M) and Oasis Security (Series C, $120M): Autonomous security testing and identity security with AI agents—showing how automation is becoming essential as attack surfaces expand. Broader momentum also continued in healthcare AI, biotech, robotics, and consumer digital platforms—but the common thread remained operational resilience and proximity to critical systems. What this week suggests: investors are rewarding companies that reduce risk, harden infrastructure, and enable AI deployment—rather than betting solely on next-wave features. Want to see what other themes are emerging from the latest funding data? Let’s discuss where you think the next wave of resilience-driven innovation will come from.
