It was a good week for startups looking to raise big, as two companies raised rounds of well more than a half-billion dollars. While it’s not surprising AI led the way, other normally quiet sectors like accounting and sports also saw some investor love.

1. Anysphere, $900M, artificial intelligence: Anysphere, which sells the popular Cursor application, has reportedly raised a $900 million round at a $9 billion valuation. The round — first reported by the Financial Times — was led by Thrive Capital and included investment from Andreessen Horowitz and Accel. It was just last December when Anysphere raised a $105 million Series B led by Thrive Capital that valued it $2.6 billion. That was four months after raising a $60 million Series A. Artificial intelligence-powered coding has become a hit with investors as the use case seems to have taken off inside large enterprises as a way to save developers’ time. It seems to have also spurred M&A interest. Last month, it was reported OpenAI is in talks to acquire AI-assisted coding tool Windsurf — previously called Codeium — for $3 billion. The deal would be the generative AI giant’s biggest acquisition to date, per Crunchbase. OpenAI reportedly tried to buy code-writing startup Anysphere before turning its attention to Windsurf. Founded in 2022, Anysphere has raised $1.1 billion, per Crunchbase.

2. Wonder, $600M, food delivery: Marc Lore’s food delivery startup is back again. Wonder made this column in June 2022, November 2023, and March and November 2024. Now the company has raised $600 million from investors including NEA that values the company at more than $7 billion, per Bloomberg. The company, which has bought others such as Grubhub, is building what it calls a “super app for mealtime.” Founded in 2018, Wonder has raised $2.5 billion, per Crunchbase.

3. Rippling, $450M, human resources: San Francisco-based HR management company Rippling made waves late in the week by announcing it had raised $450 million in new financing and agreed to repurchase up to $200 million of shares from current and former employees. The new financing values the company at $16.8 billion. No lead investor was announced, but money came from the likes of GIC and Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. Rippling is used to big raises, last April it raised a $200 million Series F at a $13.5 billion valuation and in March 2023 it raised a $500 million Series E funding that valued the company at $11.25 billion. Founded in 2016, the company has raised $2.4 billion.

4. Atlas Data Storage, $155M, database: DNA data storage — actually encoding digital information into genetic material — doesn’t get talked about a lot, but it saw a big seed round this week. Twist Bioscience spun off its DNA data storage technology application as an independent company, now called Atlas Data Storage. The company, based in South San Francisco, also raised a big $155 million seed financing from the likes of Arch Venture Partners and Bezos Expeditions. The company said it will focus on commercializing data storage products that “leverage the unique properties of synthetic DNA,” such as extremely high data density and durability.

5. NewLimit, $130M, biotech: South San Francisco-based NewLimit, which is developing ways to genetically program their cells to make people stay younger, locked up a $130 million Series B led by Kleiner Perkins. The company claims it has made progress toward developing treatments to restore youthful characteristics and has discovered three prototype medicines to reprogram liver cells that process fat and alcohol. Founded in 2022, the company has raised $170 million, per Crunchbase.

6. Unrivaled Sports, $120M, sports: New York-based Unrivaled Sports, a youth sports brand, received a $120 million strategic investment led by DSG Ventures. The new investment will help Unrivaled Sports expand its brands across youth sports properties and programming. Founded in 2024, this is the company’s first outside investment, per Crunchbase.

7. (tied) HubSync, $100M, accounting: HubSync, a Franklin, Tennessee-based tax and accounting platform, raised a $100 million growth round from investment firm Thoma Bravo. Founded in 2019, the company has raised $101 million, per Crunchbase.

7. (tied) Statsig, $100M, analytics: Statsig, developer of a data-driven product development platform, raised a $100 million Series C at a $1.1 billion valuation led by Iconiq Growth. Founded in 2021, the Bellevue, Washington-based company has raised $153 million, per Crunchbase.

9. (tied) Sirius Therapeutics, $50M, biotech: San Diego-based Sirius Therapeutics, a biotech developing siRNA therapeutics for cardiometabolic disorders, raised a $50 million Series B2 financing led by an unnamed “renowned corporate venture capital firm.” Founded in 2021, Sirius says it has raised nearly $150 million to date.

9. (tied) Wonderskin, $50M, beauty: Beauty brand Wonderskin secured a $50 million Series A led by Insight Partners. Founded in 2020, this is the New York-based company’s first round raised, per Crunchbase.
