Companies that raised in August
Four B2B companies that announced funding in the first half of August, each with its lead investor, announcement date and a link to the source.
By Yer, founder of Leadalise · Founder's note
A funding round is the loudest public signal a company sends. It is dated, it is public, and it usually means a planning cycle just restarted. The part that gets lost in most funding lists is the date. A round that closed three months ago reads exactly like one announced yesterday once it has been copied into a feed, and by then the budget is assigned and the shortlists are formed.
So every entry below carries two things that a list normally leaves out. The lead investor, because it tells you something about the round's shape, and the announcement date, linked to the source that carried it first. If a date here looks stale to you, that is the point. You can check it yourself in one click rather than taking anyone's word for it.
Four B2B companies announced funding in the first half of August.
ClearJet, Austin
ClearJet raised a $25M Series B led by Edison Partners, announced August 12. The company moves e-commerce packages across the US on unused cargo capacity in commercial flights, without owning planes or trucks.
VibeIQ, Boston
VibeIQ raised a $22.5M growth round led by Volition Capital, announced August 12. It calls itself the product decision platform for apparel, footwear and consumer goods brands and private-label retailers.
Delightree, San Francisco
Delightree raised $25M from Innovius, Accel, Timber Grove Ventures and Emergent, announced August 4. It calls itself the AI operating system for franchise and multi-unit brands.
Buzz Solutions, Palo Alto
Buzz Solutions raised a $20M Series A led by S3 Ventures, announced August 4. It describes itself as an AI software company for smart, stable and resilient energy infrastructure.
What did not make the list
One round still circulating in funding feeds actually closed back in May, and two more items were reports of talks rather than announced rounds. If you work from funding lists, check the announcement date before you trust the amount.
None of the three is a small distinction. A round from May sends you into a company that has already assigned the money and picked its vendors. Talks are not a round at all, and a company in the middle of raising is usually the least available it will be all year. Neither is visible from the headline, which is why the date and the source sit next to every entry above.
Which signal types are worth watching, and how long each one stays useful, is the subject of our guide to B2B buying signals. What a round does and does not tell you about a company's next quarter is covered in what a funding round actually tells you.
