AI is moving faster than our ability to guide it\.
We already trust it with decisions that touch millions of people, yet there’s still no single place to monitor its behavior or shape how it acts\.
---
White Circle is the missing control layer for AI — a unified
system that brings together safety, security, evals, and
performance optimization\. To build it, we raised $11M from the smartest people in the world\.
and many more\.\.\.
## Optimized for your AI
We build our own self\-adjusting models optimized for speed and performance\.

AIR, an AI security startup founded by former Israeli intelligence officers, has raised $50 million to develop a platform that monitors and secures the tools, plug-ins, and add-ons used by AI agents in enterprises.
Intelligence_ai launches DesignArena, a universal interface for evaluating AI models through real user requests, backed by a $7.9M seed led by Index Ventures. The team scaled from $5M to $60M ARR in six months.
Prime Intellect has raised $130 million in Series A funding at a $1 billion valuation to provide enterprises with a full-stack platform for building their own AI agents, offering compute access, reinforcement learning tools, and evaluation capabilities as a marketplace.
River AI, founded by xAI co-founder Igor Babuschkin, raised $1.1B in seed/Series A funding led by General Catalyst, with participation from Nvidia, AMD Ventures, Y Combinator, and Temasek. The startup aims to rebuild the AI stack from scratch to enable personally trainable AI agents, and offers an API for RL and LoRA fine-tuning on open models.
OpenAI announces $110B in new investment at a $730B pre-money valuation, including major funding from SoftBank, NVIDIA, and Amazon, along with strategic partnerships to expand compute capacity and global reach for AI products. The funding aims to accelerate deployment of frontier AI across consumers, developers, and enterprises worldwide.
