# September 2–3 Investment News: Health, Robotics, AI Security, Space

> Grouped coverage of the week’s standout closes — Thyme Care $125M+, Lyte $165M, HiddenLayer $100M, Conveo $50M, Aitan $41M, HyImpulse €50M — plus Huskeys’ $27M Blackstone-led Series A.

**September 2–3, 2026** clustered around three themes: **payer-backed health platforms**, **physical AI / robotics** (sensing + combat orchestration + launch), and **AI / edge security** with real logos.

Deeper analyses live on linked pages. This index is for scanning fit and follow-up.

## Deal table

| Company | Amount | Stage | Lead / core | Why it matters | Deep dive |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Thyme Care](/startup/thyme-care) | **$125M+** | Series E | Morgan Health (+ Humana, CVS) | >$2B valuation; Thyme Companies parent | [Article](/2026-thyme-care-125m-series-e-2b-morgan-health) |
| [Lyte](/startup/lyte) | **$165M** | Series C | Maverick Silicon | $1.6B; custom robot-perception silicon | [Article](/2026-lyte-165m-series-c-1-6b-physical-ai) |
| [HiddenLayer](/startup/hiddenlayer) | **$100M** | Series B | Delta-v Capital | 10× ARR claim; DoD + fintech AI security | [Article](/2026-hiddenlayer-100m-series-b-ai-security) |
| [Conveo](/startup/conveo) | **$50M** | Series A | DST / [Balderton](/fund/balderton-capital) / [YC](/fund/y-combinator) | 400+ enterprises; US expansion | [Article](/2026-conveo-50m-series-a-balderton-yc) |
| [HyImpulse](/startup/hyimpulse) | **€50M** | Series A close | JOIN + Ace | €350M order book; paraffin hybrid launch | [Article](/2026-hyimpulse-50m-euro-series-a-join-ace) |
| [Aitan](/startup/aitan) | **$41M** | Growth | Deep33 + Dell Tech Capital | 500K+ combat hours; robotic sovereignty | [Article](/2026-aitan-41m-robotic-sovereignty-dell-deep33) |
| Huskeys | **$27M** | Series A | Blackstone Innovations | Edge security mgmt; TikTok / Hugging Face named | Below |

## Theme 1 — Health platforms go multi-entity

[Thyme Care](/2026-thyme-care-125m-series-e-2b-morgan-health) doubled into **>$2B** with Morgan Health leading and strategics Humana and CVS Health Ventures on the cap table. Directory owners [AlleyCorp](/fund/alleycorp), [a16z](/fund/andreessen-horowitz), and [Frist Cressey](/fund/frist-cressey-ventures) returned. The newsworthy structure is **Thyme Companies** — a parent for biosimilar and trial-enrollment businesses — not only more navigation seats.

## Theme 2 — Physical AI needs sensors, coordination, and launch

- **[Lyte](/2026-lyte-165m-series-c-1-6b-physical-ai):** $1.6B bet that robots fail on **sensing fidelity** before models.
- **[Aitan](/2026-aitan-41m-robotic-sovereignty-dell-deep33):** combat-proven **force orchestration** for allied militaries.
- **[HyImpulse](/2026-hyimpulse-50m-euro-series-a-join-ace):** European launch economics with a large **pre-flight** order book — high upside, high execution risk.

## Theme 3 — Secure the model, the agent, and the edge

- **[HiddenLayer](/2026-hiddenlayer-100m-series-b-ai-security):** runtime / supply-chain AI security with claimed tens of millions ARR.
- **[Conveo](/2026-conveo-50m-series-a-balderton-yc):** not security — but the same week’s enterprise AI infrastructure pattern (methodology-grounded consumer intelligence).
- **Huskeys $27M Series A** (Blackstone Innovations Investments; Merlin, Skinos, Zscaler Ventures, Okta Ventures, Bright Pixel, SV Angel): Network Edge Security Management across CDNs/WAFs/cloud controls. Named customers include **TikTok, LEGOLAND, Ro, Blackstone, Hugging Face**; company claims **>1T** web requests analyzed daily (TNW, Sep 2). No directory fund pages for Blackstone Innovations — editorial only. Strong story; thinner primary vs HiddenLayer for a full VCT deep dive this batch.

## Fund-fit cheat sheet (directory links)

| Deal | Directory funds to open |
| --- | --- |
| Thyme Care | [/fund/alleycorp](/fund/alleycorp), [/fund/andreessen-horowitz](/fund/andreessen-horowitz), [/fund/frist-cressey-ventures](/fund/frist-cressey-ventures) |
| Conveo | [/fund/balderton-capital](/fund/balderton-capital), [/fund/y-combinator](/fund/y-combinator) |
| Others | Leads are outside the directory today — covered in deep dives without fake `/fund/` URLs |

## Skipped / owned elsewhere

- AfterQuery / Félix / Light / AIR / Empirik / Transfyr / a16z Growth / Kepler / Cloover / Cherubic — already in open PRs or prior batches.
- Thin micro-rounds (SiteVue, Motion, ColibriTD, etc.) remain below our JTBD bar.

## Practical takeaway

Capital is still paying up for **proof** (Thyme Care valuation step-up; HiddenLayer ARR; Aitan combat hours; Conveo Fortune 500 logos) and for **category hardware** (Lyte silicon; HyImpulse propulsion) — not for vague “AI wrapper” decks.
