Munich-based NavVis, which provides enterprises with spatial data on factories, plants, buildings, and more, raised an $85M Series D led by The Jordan Company
THE SO WHAT
Capital is flowing into spatial twins of the built world — NavVis’ €73.7M (~$85M) round is a bet that high-fidelity factory and building maps become core infrastructure for automation and AI. If you run complex physical operations, start treating 3D spatial data like a system of record and map where a digital twin could collapse site visits, audits, and layout changes.

Startups & VentureSources: Cursor told staff on Thursday that SpaceX could complete its $60B acquisition as soon as next week and the Cursor brand name will likely be phased out
A $60B acquisition with the Cursor brand likely disappearing suggests AI-native dev tooling is being absorbed into larger ecosystems rather than standing alone.

Startups & VentureSources: legal AI startup Harvey is in talks to raise $500M+ at a $15.5B valuation, up from $11B in March, and is generating $350M+ in annualized revenue
$350M+ ARR and a $15.5B mark for a vertical AI app says the market will pay software multiples for deep workflow ownership, not just infra. If you’re horizontal, expect pricing pressure; if you’re in a regulated vertical, this is your cue to either go all-in on domain depth or accept being the plumbing.

Multiplier’s $35M raise at a $300M valuation to roll up accounting firms with AI tools is a bet that distribution plus workflow depth beats selling generic AI SaaS into the Big Four. If you’re in a professional services niche, the PE-style “buy firms + embed AI” playbook is now live — decide if you’re a buyer, a target, or a partner.

A $5.8B software refinancing in a sector underperforming the broader loan market is a reminder that leveraged software balance sheets are being repriced.
