  1. 1. FUNDING: HiddenLayer raises a $32M Venture Round

    Well, $31.9M to be exact. Is it a Series A? I don't know. Not surprising, given they won the Innovation Sandbox this year. Hot market also (securing AI).

  2. 2. FUNDING: Announcing $20M Series A to Secure Open Source Software – Socket
  3. 3. FUNDING: Converge Insurance Announces $15 Million Series A Funding from Forgepoint Capital
  4. 4. LAYOFFS: HackerOne Lays off 12% of Staff

    LinkedIn says they have over 4000 employees, but I wonder if a lot of those are 'hackers' on the platform? If they actually have 4000 employees, we're talking 500 people let go in this round of layoffs, but I suspect 4000 isn't an accurate number, due to H1's less common business model.
