# 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. Does not duplicate Pixxel/Mokobara (PR #138) or Zeit/Diameter (PR #137).

**September 7** adds an India **consumer Series C** that will get copied as a clean **$50 million** primary. It is not. [Nua](/startup/nua) said Peak XV and Filter Capital led a **$50 million (~₹472 crore)** round that **mixes primary and secondaries**. Split and valuation **unknown**. Last verified **September 7, 2026**. This index does **not** duplicate [PR #137](https://github.com/advissor/cf-page-venturecapitaltrackercom/pull/137) or [PR #138](https://github.com/advissor/cf-page-venturecapitaltrackercom/pull/138).

## Roundup only

### WAD Capital — €67.5M first close (search funds)

[Pulse2](https://pulse2.com/wad-capital-reaches-e67-5-million-first-close-with-e25-million-eif-eib-investment/): 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](https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/06/travis-kalanicks-atoms-might-be-getting-into-the-robotaxi-business/), citing the Financial Times: [Atoms](/2026-atoms-1-7b-a16z-physical-ai) 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.**
