Scuba raised $34 million across two funding rounds to build its context engine for teams and AI agents. Accel led the first round and co-led the second with IVP, alongside other venture firms and angel investors. Its platform lets teams capture and organize work-related information in Collections, then share that context with AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Slack. Scuba plans to use the funding to accelerate engineering and go-to-market efforts.
Anchor co-founders Nir Zicherman and Michael Mignano launch Oboe, an AI-powered learning app that generates lightweight courses from user prompts. Users can learn through text and visuals, audio, games, and interactive tests; a multi-agent system builds and audits course content in seconds. Oboe launches on the web with five free course creations per month and paid plans at $15 and $40 monthly; the startup previously raised a $4 million seed round led by Eniac Ventures.
Cove, founded by former Google Maps engineers Stephen Chau, Andy Szybalski, and Mike Chu, raises $6 million in seed funding from Sequoia Capital and other investors. Its web-based infinite canvas turns prompts into editable cards with lists, tables, and related responses for tasks such as trip planning, writing, and research. Users can share boards, add documents and links, and use a Chrome extension to bring web content into projects.
