Portfolio company SquareMind secured an $18 million round led by Deeptech 2030 and Sonder Capital, marking the most material funding event highlighted this week. The company’s full‑body skin imaging robot uses AI to detect anomalies, aiming to make dermatology exams faster, more accurate, and easier to scale in clinical settings.
The size and quality of SquareMind’s investor syndicate offer external validation of its technology and commercialization prospects. For Entrepreneurs First, the deal underscores its ability to nurture deeptech healthcare ventures from inception to sizable institutional funding, which may strengthen its reputation and future deal flow.
Entrepreneurs First also showcased EverSettled, an AI infrastructure startup focused on simplifying inheritance and estate administration workflows. Founded out of personal experience with a complex estate process, the company targets a large, under-digitized segment of the wealth transfer market amid rising intergenerational asset transfers.
EverSettled’s approach centers on using AI to reduce friction, cost, and error in legal and administrative tasks tied to inheritance. While metrics and revenue details remain undisclosed, its focus on a clear pain point and potential partnerships with legal-tech and financial intermediaries illustrate EF’s push into AI-enabled financial and legal infrastructure.
In critical infrastructure, portfolio company Kyber was profiled for its orchestration platform designed to keep time-sensitive systems operating reliably. The founders bring backgrounds in elite athletics, aerospace engineering, aircraft engine maintenance, Formula One, and quantum communications, indicating deep technical and operational expertise.
Kyber remains at an early stage and is preparing, alongside EverSettled, to pitch at Entrepreneurs First’s Demo Day in San Francisco. Demo Day exposure could help both ventures secure seed or early growth capital, though their financial impact on EF will depend on future customer adoption, regulatory navigation, and successful product deployment.
Across these updates, Entrepreneurs First emphasized its role in backing AI and automation across healthcare diagnostics, wealth and estate workflows, and industrial infrastructure. Overall, the week reflected steady portfolio momentum and reinforced EF’s positioning as a builder of deeptech companies addressing complex, high-stakes problems.
