Immigrant banking platform Majority secures $20M following 3x revenue growth
The increase of immigrants to the United States — some 50 million total foreign-born people live in the US now, according to immigration think tank Center for Immigration Studies — present an opportunity for startups to tailor financial services to this population. Magnus Larsson, himself an immigrant from Sweden, ran into similar problems and created Miami-based Majority in 2019 to address them. For a $5.99 per month membership fee, migrants can open a bank account and get a debit card, community discounts, fee-free international money transfers and discounted international calling.

AI language translation startup DeepL nabs $300M on a $2B valuation to focus on B2B growth
DeepL, which builds automated text translation and writing tools that compete against the likes of Google Translate and Grammarly, said on Wednesday that it has raised an additional $300 million. This round, led by Index Ventures, underscores the frenetic interest that investors have in AI startups at the moment, and how companies are capitalizing on that opportunity while they can. DeepL, which is still not profitable, was valued at $1 billion in January 2023, when it raised just over $100 million.

Humane, the creator of the $700 Ai Pin, is reportedly seeking a buyer

The company has reportedly priced itself between $750 million and $1 billion, and the sale process is in the early stages, Bloomberg cited the sources as saying.

Founder-market fit is one of the most crucial factors in a startup's success, and operators (someone involved in the day-to-day operations of a startup) turned founders have an almost unfair advantage in finding that fit. Data shows that a lack of expertise and business acumen in founders contributes to failed VC investments. The same principle applies somewhat to operator VCs (firms typically launched by former startup founders).
