1) Triomics raises $15M Series A to automate cancer clinical trials matching (TechCrunch)

According to TechCrunch, “While reducing how long it takes for patients to be matched with clinical trials may seem like the most immediately valuable application of Triomics software, Khan says that Triomics is a lot more than a clinical trials company. “Doctors use it for several different use cases that I could just go on and on about,” he said.”

2) ‘Bill Gates weighs in on new €1bn German fund to back capital-intensive climate tech’ (SiftedEU)

According to SiftedEU, “Startups struggle to finance capital-intensive infrastructure projects — like direct air capture or energy storage systems — as they often don’t have enough revenue, or are deemed to be too risky, to get the backing of a generalist VC fund. Meanwhile, banks are reluctant to offer debt-financing without seeing tech proven at scale.”

StratupAI Generated Idea: B2B Lending Platform for SMEs

“Small and medium-sized businesses often face challenges in accessing affordable and flexible credit options from traditional banks. A startup could address this issue by establishing a B2B lending platform that connects these businesses with a network of lenders willing to provide tailored financing solutions. By leveraging technology to assess creditworthiness quickly and efficiently, this platform could offer competitive interest rates and repayment terms, catering specifically to the unique needs of small and medium enterprises. With the rising demand for alternative lending sources and the growing number of small businesses looking for financial support, this startup could tap into a lucrative market segment within the banking industry.”
