| Hi, Agen. Although startup activity generally slows during July, this year saw some very interesting — and big — deals happening. We share which startup deals caught our attention, from better sleep to a big raise for a company brewing nonalcoholic beer. Plus, a host of investors got in on Altana AI’s $200 million Series C to help elevate the supply chain management platform to unicorn status. From personalized supplements to better sleep to saving the Earth through more effective insulation, July saw a lot of cool startups raising cash. It didn’t take long to mint a new unicorn this week. Supply chain management startup Altana AI locked up a $200 million Series C investment led by Thomas Tull’s US Innovative Technology Fund that values the company at $1 billion. Astranis and Third Arc Bio led a big week of large rounds. All 10 rounds hit $100 million or more, this time with space tech and biotech leading the way. Once again, money was spread around to various sectors — even agtech, which has not seen many megadeals this year.

But that hasn’t stopped South San Francisco-based Plenty who has been busy planting seeds in a joint venture to build a network of indoor farms in the Middle East.

Nonetheless it still counts as the sector with the largest number of private companies valued over $1 billion and with an expectation that some well-branded fintechs could plan to list — or merge — in the next year or so.
