Not a bad week for a big funding announcement, as there were a couple nine-figure rounds in energy and loyalty rewards, but several just slightly smaller ones in a variety of other sectors. As the month wore on, investors seem to be opening their wallets — or at least the announcements were made.

1. بار بار آنے والی توانائی۔$500M، توانائی: This large round may have gone under the radar for many, but Austin, Texas-based Recurrent Energy secured a $500 million preferred equity investment from BlackRock. The company — a utility-scale solar and energy storage project development, ownership and operations platform — will use the new capital to grow its “high value project development pipeline.” Recurrent is a subsidiary of کینیڈین سولر, and that company will continue to own the remaining majority shares of Recurrent after the investment closes. Founded in 2006, the company has raised about $1.4 billion, فی Crunchbase.

2. بلٹ انعامات, $200M, loyalty rewards: Everybody loves loyalty rewards, and investors must know that. Bilt Rewards raised a $ 200 ملین راؤنڈ کی قیادت میں جنرل کیٹیلسٹ at a $3.1 billion valuation — more than double the number after its last fundraising in 2022. The New York-based startup allows consumers to earn rewards on the rent they pay. Bilt plans to use some of the proceeds to expand its network to include local dining, grocery stores, ridesharing and other retail purchases. The company also appointed some big names to roles in the company, naming کین چنالٹ۔, former chairman and CEO of امریکن ایکسپریس, as its chairman, and راجر گیلیلکے کمشنر ینیفیل, as an independent director. The company reported its annualized member spend is nearing $20 billion. It also became profitable on an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization basis last year. Those metrics must have impressed investors, as Bilt has seen its valuation shoot up after raising a $150 million Series B at a pre-money valuation of $1.4 billion in October 2022. Founded in 2021, the company has raised a total of $413 million, فی Crunchbase.

4. گیارہ لیبز,$80M, AI: Voice AI startup ElevenLabs raised an $80 ملین سیریز B at a unicorn valuation as investor interest in all AI tech remains at an all-time high.

The Series B was co-led by اندیسن Horowitz, نیٹ فرائیڈ مین اور ڈینیئل گراس. ElevenLabs allows creators, enterprises and others to use AI software to replicate voices in dozens of languages.
