Tel Aviv, Israel, August 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

 Inevitable AI Group (IAIG), an AI-native venture studio founded by veteran technology entrepreneurs, today announced a $6 million pre-seed funding round led by Aleph. The company is building and launching dozens of AI-native software businesses designed to capitalize on the rapidly changing economics of software development.

Founded by Nimrod Lehavi and Ofer Bar-Or, IAIG was created around the thesis that advances in artificial intelligence are enabling small teams to build, launch, and scale software products faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Rather than building a single company, IAIG operates as a venture studio, partnering with entrepreneurs to launch AI-native products in a matter of weeks in identified and proven software markets and providing them with all of the tools to grow rapidly.

The process starts with meticulous selection, development, go-to-market execution, operations, and growth. By leveraging AI across the company-building process, IAIG achieves feature parity with established software products in weeks while dramatically reducing operating costs.

Since launching in January, IAIG has already created and launched five ventures and expects to launch dozens more by year-end. The company focuses on post market fit proven software categories with established demand and opportunities where AI can significantly improve efficiency, accessibility, or pricing.

“We believe AI is changing the foundations of how software businesses are built, marketed, grow and exit,” said Nimrod Lehavi, founder and CEO of IAIG. “Many of today’s software companies were designed for a different technological era. We see an opportunity to build a new generation of companies that can move faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver greater value to customers.”

Established software companies often face challenges adapting to AI due to legacy technology, complex architectures, and slower operating models. AI-native companies, by contrast, can automate large portions of development and operations while serving customers with significantly smaller teams.

“SaaS isn’t dying, it’s being reinvented,” said Eden Shochat, Equal Partner at Aleph. “AI gives customers the ability to create tools tailored to their needs on demand. We backed IAIG because the team understands that the winners of this transition will be those building entirely new categories of software.”

Lehavi previously founded, managed and sold Simplex to Nuvei for 300MM, while Bar-Or brings more than 30 years of entrepreneurial experience spanning telecommunications, semiconductors, internet infrastructure, machine learning, and deep technology. A graduate of Israel’s Talpiot program, Bar-Or also spent seven years in the Israeli space program.

“The biggest challenge in startups has always been finding something the market truly needs and then executing well,” said Ofer Bar-Or, founder and COO of IAIG. “AI is dramatically reducing the barriers to execution, allowing entrepreneurs to spend more time solving meaningful problems and less time navigating the complexity of software development.”

IAIG believes the next phase of the software industry will be defined by smaller, more efficient organizations capable of delivering enterprise-grade products at lower cost and higher speed. The company also expects acquisitions, partnerships, and integrations between AI-native startups and established software providers to become increasingly common as the industry adapts to AI-driven change. Looking ahead, IAIG plans to expand its network of founders, enter additional software categories, and continue refining a venture-building model designed specifically for the AI era.

About IAIG

IAIG is an AI-native venture studio that partners with solo entrepreneurs to select, build, launch, and scale software companies for the age of artificial intelligence. The company identifies proven software markets and works alongside founders to develop AI-first products through a combination of venture-building infrastructure, operational expertise, and AI-driven execution. Based in Israel, IAIG’s mission is to enable a new generation of entrepreneurs to create software companies that are faster to build, more efficient to operate, and better aligned with the opportunities created by advances in artificial intelligence.

Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, August 5th, 2026, Chainwire

The former TON executive joins as Director of Strategic Partnerships to form the connections behind ChangeNOW’s next phase.

Former TON executive Martin Masser joins ChangeNOW to build strategic partnerships, ecosystem relationships, and media momentum behind its next phase.

Masser comes with experience across traditional banking, Web2 and Web3, including senior growth and business development roles within the TON space. At ChangeNOW, he will lead strategic relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, payment providers and other infrastructure partners.

His appointment comes as ChangeNOW grows beyond standalone crypto services, transitioning to one connected product where users can buy, store, swap, trade, send, receive and grow digital assets. The industry has already built most of the individual components. What it hasn’t solved is the experience of using them together; clients are still expected to switch between platforms, understand different networks and connect the pieces on their own. ChangeNOW’s super app strategy is designed to move that complexity beneath the product.

“Martin brings a rare mix of commercial relationships, product and media understanding,” said Pauline Shangett, Chief Strategy Officer at ChangeNOW. “He knows what the technology can do, what the business needs and how to make the market pay attention. That is exactly the perspective we need as we build the ChangeNOW super app.”

Masser’s role will focus not on accumulating partnership announcements, but on identifying relationships that can make ChangeNOW’s infrastructure more complete and remove unnecessary steps from the сlient experience.

“The best partnerships create access, adoption and attention. My focus is to build relationships that make the product stronger, simpler and more useful, and then help the market understand why they matter. If you are building wallets, networks, payments, stablecoins, fintech infrastructure, consumer crypto or Web3 products, I want to hear from you,” said Masser. 

For consumers, ChangeNOW is combining the core activities of managing crypto within one environment. For businesses, it is developing an integrated set of tools for crypto payments, exchange, stablecoin settlement, digital asset management and Web3 integrations.

As ChangeNOW expands into a crypto super app, its next phase is connecting the right networks, wallets and partners. Masser’s role will be central to building those relationships and turning them into product value, adoption and market momentum.

About ChangeNOW

ChangeNOW.io is a crypto super app built for every crypto move, giving newcomers, professionals, and businesses the tools they need to access Web3 finance in a simple and secure way.

Since 2017, ChangeNOW has grown from a fast, secure, and limitless instant exchange into a trusted platform where storage, swaps, trading, staking, and asset management are covered in one simple experience for millions of clients worldwide.

About Martin Masser

Martin Masser is Director of Strategic Partnerships at ChangeNOW, where he is building partnerships around the company’s expansion into a crypto super app. His career covers traditional banking and capital markets in London and Web3, including his previous role as Head of Growth at TON Foundation. Martin works at the intersection of growth, infrastructure, and partnerships, connecting products and industry players to make crypto services work as one seamless user experience.

allwhere, the leading IT asset lifecycle management platform, today announced the expansion of its UK operations with the opening of a larger, upgraded depot. The investment increases warehouse capacity, streamlines fulfillment operations, and strengthens allwhere’s ability to support organizations managing employee devices across the United Kingdom.

The upgraded facility represents a significant investment in allwhere’s existing UK infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver faster turnaround times, greater operational efficiency, and additional inventory capacity as demand for global device lifecycle management continues to grow.

“As more organizations build distributed teams, the operational side of IT has become increasingly important,” said Tony Solomon, VP of Global Operations at allwhere. “This investment strengthens the foundation of our UK operations, allowing us to fulfill orders more efficiently, scale alongside our customers, and continue delivering the high level of service they expect from allwhere.”

Built to Support Growing IT Operations

The expanded UK depot enhances every stage of the device lifecycle by improving warehouse operations and increasing fulfillment capacity.

Customers can expect benefits including:

• Faster fulfillment, expedited shipping, and improved turnaround times for deployments and retrievals
• Increased warehouse capacity to support growing inventory needs
• More efficient storage, inventory management, and redeployment workflows
• Standardized operational processes that improve consistency and scalability
• End-to-end lifecycle support managed through a single platform

Whether onboarding a new employee, retrieving equipment from an offboarded team member, storing spare inventory, or preparing devices for redeployment, the upgraded facility enables allwhere to execute these workflows more efficiently while maintaining complete visibility through its platform.

Software and Operations, Unified

Unlike traditional asset management solutions that rely on disconnected software, logistics providers, and warehouses, allwhere combines workflow automation with global operational infrastructure.

Organizations can manage procurement, deployment, inventory, retrievals, storage, repairs, redeployment, and IT asset disposition through a single platform, while allwhere handles the operational execution behind the scenes.

The expanded UK depot further strengthens this model by providing the operational capacity needed to support larger fleets, faster fulfillment, and increasingly complex IT programs.

Continuing to Invest in Global Infrastructure

The UK depot expansion is part of allwhere’s continued investment in its global logistics network. allwhere currently operates full-service depots in the UK, Canada, EU, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Later this year, the company plans to further scale its infrastructure into the APAC region, with upcoming depot services in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and more.

As organizations continue to scale distributed workforces, allwhere remains focused on expanding the operational infrastructure that powers modern IT teams—combining intelligent software with local logistics expertise to simplify device lifecycle management around the world.

About allwhere

allwhere is a laptop retrieval and IT procurement company that automates the IT asset lifecycle for companies ranging from startups to enterprises. From procurement and deployment to storage, maintenance, and retrieval, allwhere provides the infrastructure businesses need to support a global, distributed workforce.

Borderless.xyz will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments.

Borderless.xyz and Mastercard are collaborating on a new pilot to explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential’s standards-based framework can support trusted interactions across cross-border stablecoin payment flows. 

Stablecoins are increasingly being used to move value across borders, creating new opportunities for faster and more efficient payments. As adoption grows, participants need trusted ways to understand who they are interacting with and whether counterparties have met appropriate standards and requirements. 

Through the pilot, Borderless.xyz and Mastercard will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can address that challenge by providing assurance signals that participants can incorporate into their own approval, compliance and risk processes. 

Mastercard Crypto Credential helps support trusted and verifiable interactions across digital asset ecosystems. Through common standards and trusted assurance signals, it is designed to help bring more confidence, transparency and certainty to transactions across blockchain networks. 

The collaboration pairs Mastercard’s work in building trust and standards for digital asset ecosystems with Borderless.xyz’s network of stablecoin payment providers. Together, the companies are exploring how trusted governance signals can help reduce friction and bring greater confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments as adoption grows. 

“One of the biggest friction points for stablecoin payment operators isn’t the payments. It’s that compliance doesn’t scale the same way the network does. Every new provider means starting the verification process over. Correspondent banking solved this decades ago: originating compliance trusted downstream, no re-execution at every counterparty. Mastercard is applying that model to digital asset payments. Borderless.xyz is the network it runs through.” – Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO and Co-Founder, Borderless.xyz

“Innovation is most powerful when it builds over time. Our relationship with Borderless.xyz began through Start Path and has continued to grow as the digital asset ecosystem has matured,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Today, we’re excited to take the next step together, exploring how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to stablecoin payment flows across a growing network of participants.” 

The pilot brings together several of Borderless.xyz‘s network participants consisting of Infinia, Walapay, and Koywe, many of whom are also alumni of Mastercard Start Path, the company’s startup engagement program. These partners will leverage Mastercard Crypto Credential as some of the first stablecoin payment operators to run on the single-audit compliance model at network scale. 

About Borderless.xyz

Borderless.xyz is a global stablecoin orchestration and liquidity network. Its single API connects wallet infrastructure to 15+ licensed stablecoin providers across 100+ countries. It lets businesses enter new markets without new integrations, get failover so payments don’t drop, and make providers compete for your volume on price. Borderless.xyz is SOC 2 Type II certified and headquartered in New York. To learn more, users can visit the website: borderless.xyz.

Our technology and innovation, partnerships and networks combine to deliver a unique set of products and services that help people, businesses and governments realize their greatest potential

Dover, Delaware, August 4th, 2026, FinanceWire

Trading platforms rarely stand still, and neither do the traders who use them. As traders look for better tools, clearer account insights, and faster access to payouts, prop firms are under pressure to improve the experience beyond funded accounts alone.

Today, PropEd Capital is taking that next step with the preview of Nexus V2, PropEd Capital’s technology provider. With the upgrade to Nexus Prop, there is a major update that introduces Volumetrica/DXFeed support alongside a series of improvements across analytics, education, and payouts. Rather than focusing on a single new feature, the update brings together several changes designed to make the platform easier to use from the moment a trader opens an account to the day they request a payout. 

For PropEd Capital, Nexus V2 represents more than a software update. It reflects the firm’s continued effort to simplify the trading experience while giving traders more choice and better visibility into their accounts.

Nexus V2 Platform Updates

Getting funded is only part of the experience. Most traders don’t spend all day placing trades. Ask any funded trader and they’ll tell you the same thing. 

Trading isn’t the only thing that matters. Trading doesn’t stop when you close a position. You’re still checking your account, looking through your trade history, and keeping an eye on your payout. A good platform makes those tasks feel simple. That’s why platform choice matters.

Nexus V2 reflects that thinking. Along with adding Volumetrica/DXFeed as a new platform option, the update introduces clearer analytics, improved access to educational content, a more streamlined payout process through Rise, and the foundation for a more connected trading experience inside the Nexus platform. 

Each improvement addresses a different part of the trader’s journey, but they all move in the same direction: giving traders better visibility, more choice, and fewer interruptions once they’re up and running.

More Choice Where It Matters

With Nexus V2, PropEd Capital is adding Volumetrica/DXFeed as a supported account path alongside its existing platform access. Traders will be able to access their credentials and login information directly through Nexus, while market data entitlements, account balances, and profit and loss information continue to be integrated into the platform as real time synchronization is completed. 

The update isn’t about asking traders to change how they work. It’s about giving them another option. For traders who already use Volumetrica and DXFeed, that means they can continue working with tools they know instead of adapting to a different workflow.

A Smoother Experience Beyond the Trade

Traders also spend a lot of time learning, checking account progress, and following payout requests. When those everyday tasks are easier to manage, it’s simpler to stay focused on the market.

Nexus V2 introduces several updates aimed at improving that experience. Traders will have easier access to PropEd’s educational content, with lessons and learning resources organized in a way that’s simpler to find and follow. The platform also makes it easier to keep track of progress through improved enrollment and access management. 

On the payout side, PropEd is integrating Rise into Nexus V2 to create a more connected process from payout approval through to completion. The update also adds clearer payout status tracking, giving traders better visibility into where each request stands instead of leaving them guessing. 

This update improves everything that happens around trading, making the overall experience more straightforward once a trader is inside the PropEd ecosystem.

Built on the Same Philosophy

Nexus V2 isn’t a change in direction. It’s an extension of the way PropEd Capital has approached its products from the beginning.

Whether a trader starts with a Standard Eval, chooses the transparency of a TrueRisk account, or skips the evaluation through Instant Funding, the goal stays the same: keep the path straightforward and let traders choose the option that matches how they trade. Across the lineup, accounts are offered with a one time fee rather than recurring monthly charges, keeping the pricing model simple and predictable. 

Nexus V2 builds on that foundation. Instead of introducing a completely new product, it improves the experience around the products traders already use. Better platform choice, clearer account insights, improved education access, and a smoother payout process all support the same objective: helping traders spend less time navigating the platform and more time focused on the markets. 

It’s a practical update rather than a dramatic one, but that’s what makes it fit naturally with the rest of PropEd Capital’s offering. The products remain familiar. The experience around them continues to improve.

Conclusion

Platform updates are easy to overlook because they often happen behind the scenes. But they’re usually the changes traders notice over time.

With Nexus V2, PropEd Capital isn’t introducing a new way to trade. It’s improving the experience around trading. From platform choice and account insights to education and payouts, the update brings together the tools traders use throughout their journey instead of treating them as separate pieces. 

The preview also makes it clear that Nexus V2 is only the next step. More features are expected as development continues, giving traders a platform that continues to evolve alongside the way they trade. 

About PropEd Capital

PropEd Capital is a proprietary futures trading firm focused on providing a transparent, trader-first funding experience. The firm was built around fair trading conditions, clear risk parameters, and dependable payouts. Its evaluation and funded account programs are designed to give traders a straightforward path to funding while rewarding consistency, discipline, and long-term performance rather than relying on trader failure.
