The Globe and Mail said Cohere is in advanced talks for $2–3 billion at $20 billion, including Canadian and German government money. Not a company close. Axios already printed ~$20 billion in April with Aleph Alpha and a Schwarz Digits $600 million Series E lead. Mistral’s €3 billion / €21B+ is the close that actually printed.
Open Cosmos closed €300M (~$351M) Series C led by ETF Partners on September 14, 2026 — with LocalGlobe’s Phoenix Court in the syndicate — after five years of profitable growth, $370M+ contracts, and one-satellite-per-day manufacturing capacity (company).
Amsterdam’s Fortaegis raised a $50 million Series A led by Serendipity Capital, with Tokyo Electron’s venture arm in. Valuation was not disclosed. Commercial manufacturing is aimed at 2027. Quantum-safe and 200× speed claims are company/FT-attributed, not independent benchmarks.
Fresh Sep 13–14 tape: Tandem Health $100M Series B (EQT Scaleup’s first healthcare check), Qupital $300M Series C + ABS package, Synapse Analytics $13M Partech Series A — plus what we skipped (NeoCognition April reprint, Mecka talks).
Abu Dhabi–based Synapse Analytics raised $13M Series A led by Partech on September 14, 2026 ($17M lifetime) for on-prem agentic credit decisioning across MENA, Africa, and LatAm. Valuation not disclosed — and it is not the bankrupt Synapse BaaS firm.
Hong Kong’s Qupital announced $300M in combined Series C and ABS commitments on September 13–14, 2026, led by M Capital with MUFG and Quester — after claiming $9.5B+ cumulative loans. Equity vs ABS split and valuation were not disclosed.
