September 6–7 VC News: Nua $50M Series C (Primary + Secondary)
Gap-fill on the September 7 pass: Nua closed a $50 million Series C led by Peak XV and Filter Capital. The company said the print mixes primary and secondary and did not give the split. Briefs: WAD Capital’s €67.5 million first close (Pulse2; search-fund ETA). Atoms robotaxi talk is FT via TechCrunch, not a new round.

Roundup only
WAD Capital — €67.5M first close (search funds)
Pulse2: debut fund first close €67.5 million, including €25 million from EIF/EIB. Target €130 million. Mandate is entrepreneurship through acquisition / search funds across Europe, not seed software. Firm: eight acquisitions in nine months (Belgium / Netherlands) and a 35% 30-year IRR claim for the search-fund model — that is model marketing, not this vehicle’s track record. No /fund/wad-capital. Pulse2’s stamp is weak; treat as reported, not a dated firm letter.
Atoms — robotaxi talk, not a new round
TechCrunch, September 6, citing the Financial Times: Atoms is preparing hiring and acquisitions that could put it in robotaxis, and has talked to Uber about using the stack. Uber’s $100 million into the July $1.7 billion a16z-led round was already known. No new amount. No valuation. Not a close.
