24.6.2026 15:30:00 CEST | Business Wire | Press Release
Taktile, the leader in AI transformation for financial institutions, today announced its $110 million Series C fundraise. Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives led the round, with participation from Balderton Capital, Index Ventures, Tiger Global, Y Combinator, and Dig Ventures.
Taktile Fast Facts
- Taktile enables banks and insurers to transform into AI-native organizations that are increasingly powered by autonomous agents.
- Demand for Taktile accelerated in 2025, as AI models became capable of automating high-stakes decisions that previously required hours of manual work—from underwriting business loans and assessing claims to catching financial crime.
- Customers automate and optimize decisions with Taktile by combining its financial services expertise and product built for sector-specific AI use cases. One of the world’s largest insurers is running multiple use cases on Taktile, with projected cost efficiencies of over $90M in claims processing alone.
- Taktile’s team has a proven track record of bringing AI agents into production within complex enterprises. Trusted by customers including Mercury, Monzo, Faire, and Pleo, the company has powered outcomes such as 95% automation in B2B underwriting and 75% fewer anti-money laundering (AML) false positives.
Taktile’s most recent breakthrough came in December 2025, when the company's applied AI research institute, Taktile Labs, found that frontier models had crossed a critical threshold. AI could now handle the kind of high-stakes decisions that financial institutions had long reserved for human experts: Moody's reports that financial institutions are spending an average of $72.9 million annually on KYC and AML operations alone.
For the first time, AI is capable of reliably automating much of this repetitive, time-consuming work. But banks and insurers still need a way to operationalize autonomous agents reliably and at scale, so they can empower their workforce with this vital new tool. While generalist AI labs provide raw building blocks to engineers, Taktile gives institutions a way to operate AI-driven decisions within a system that business owners—from heads of credit to fraud officers—can understand and control.
"General purpose AI tooling is fine for simple automations, but it isn’t sufficient for operating mission-critical financial decisions where errors can cost millions," said Taktile CEO and Co-Founder Maik Taro Wehmeyer. "Today, thousands of employees process these decisions manually. Leaders want to redeploy that capacity to higher-value work, while ensuring every outcome—whether human or AI-driven—remains the best for the business and customers. This is what Taktile enables.”
"Taktile stands out for combining deep technical sophistication with a clear understanding of how regulated financial institutions actually operate. They work with a broad spectrum of financial institutions to build, test and automate complex workflows that meet their specific needs," said Christian Resch, Partner in Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
"Banks and insurers consistently tell us that Taktile has helped them transform how their teams make decisions with AI—unlocking faster product launches, sharper risk outcomes, and meaningful operational efficiency," added Jade Mandel, Managing Director in Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. "Taktile has built something rare: a team and a product that enables financial institutions to unlock real value from AI where it's most complex—inside high-stakes, regulated decisions. We're excited to partner with Maik, Max, and the Taktile team."
Taktile will use the capital to further enhance its AI solutions for complex banking and insurance use cases, and expand its global footprint across the US, EMEA, and LATAM.

Quectel Sues Telit, Alleging False Statements, Cybersquatting and Unfair Competition30.10.2026 16:41:00 CET | Press Release
Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global end-to-end IoT solutions provider, today announced that it has filed legal action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Telit IoT Solutions Inc. The lawsuit seeks to bring an end to Telit’s campaign of false and misleading claims about Quectel and its products. Quectel alleges that, rather than competing on the strength of its products and technology, Telit engaged in a coordinated campaign to undermine Quectel’s reputation by exploiting geopolitical concerns surrounding Chinese technology companies. According to the complaint, Telit funded, promoted, and amplified false and misleading claims about Quectel’s products while positioning itself to customers as a safer “Western” alternative. The lawsuit further alleges that Telit engaged in cybersquatting involving Quectel’s U.S. domain name to advance its campaign. Quectel maintains that these alleged actions have caused substantial harm to its sales, customer
TestMu AI Launches Kane CLI Exploration, an AI Agent That Maps an Entire Web App From a Single URL and Turns It Into Tests30.10.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press Release
TestMu AI, the Full Stack Agentic AI Quality Engineering platform, announced Kane CLI Exploration, an autonomous agent that learns a web application before anyone writes a test. Given a single URL, it walks the entire app on its own, flags problems along the way and gives Kane CLI the context it needs to generate and run tests, even when no requirements, user stories or acceptance criteria exist. Every test plan starts from something written down, and many apps never had it. Legacy products lose their specs when the people who wrote them move on, and apps a coding agent built in a week often have no record of intended behavior beyond the prompt history. With nothing to test against, a testing agent ends up grading the app against itself. Starting from the URL a developer provides, the exploration agent moves through every page, junction and flow it can reach, the way a new QA engineer clicks through a product in their first week. For each page it records the controls, the flows in and
