Roundup only
YC Summer 2026 Demo Day — today, not a financing
Limetax — €6M equity, €30M credit, not €36M equity
Sesame, September 9: Berlin tax-firm roll-up. €6 million pre-seed led by Motive Partners plus a €30 million German-bank credit facility. Headline €36 million is mixed. Too small and too structured for a standalone on this tape.
UniPat AI — $300M / $2.5B talks, not a close
Bloomberg, September 10: Alibaba slated to lead about $300 million at $2.5 billion; Tencent and HSG named; talks remain in progress. Not a close. No entity this pass.
FRYTE Mobility — €3.5M seed
Munich eTruck charging software; €3.5 million seed (Tech.eu / company). Below the standalone bar here.
