Flip, an employee experience platform serving manufacturing, retail, and hospitality sectors, raised $25 million in Series B funding led by existing investors Notion Capital and HV Capital. The company will use the capital to expand Fusion, a tool that generates custom applications for frontline teams, and Frontline Identity, which enables workers without corporate email to access workplace systems. This funding enables Flip to address the gap between office workers' AI adoption and deskless employees' lack of AI infrastructure and digital identity systems.

Aisel Health, a Danish psychiatry-focused software company, raised €1.7 million to build an operating system that organizes patient information for clinicians rather than simply generating more documentation like AI scribes do. The company's research found psychiatrists spend only 40% of their time with patients, the rest on documentation and information gathering. By surfacing relevant clinical history before appointments and automating administrative tasks, Aisel aims to reduce clinician burden and shorten psychiatric care waiting lists.

UK edtech startup Medly AI raised $8 million in seed funding to expand its AI-powered exam tutoring platform across the UK and internationally. The platform, launched in February 2025, has already reached over 400,000 UK users and uses a combination of seven large language models with neuroscience-informed approaches to provide personalized feedback on practice questions and adaptive learning support. The company plans to use the funding to grow its UK student base, expand internationally with SAT preparation in the US, and develop proprietary AI models for marking and pedagogy to make personalized tutoring more accessible to students regardless of financial means.

Aisel Health, a Copenhagen-based startup, raised €1.7 million in pre-seed funding to build a clinical operating system for psychiatry that focuses on retrieving patient information rather than just speeding up note-taking. The company, founded in 2024 by Augusta Klingsten Peytz and Christian Houen, will use the funds to expand into the UK before a seed round. The mental health technology market is projected to reach $10.08 billion by 2025 and grow at 18.7% annually, with Aisel differentiating itself by addressing psychiatrists' inability to efficiently access historical patient data during consultations.

OpenAI is launching ChatGPT advertising in 31 European countries next week, with ads shown only to free and 7.99-euro Go plan users. Initial ads will be contextual rather than personalized, drawing on conversation topic, approximate location, device type, and language, with personalization available later only after explicit user opt-in. The expansion represents the largest rollout of OpenAI's advertising business, though competitors like Claude and Perplexity do not run ads in their chatbots.

OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Teens, a restricted version of its chatbot designed for users aged 13 to 17 with guardrails blocking conversations about violence, self-harm, sex, and mental health. The model includes parental controls, break reminders, and a Study Mode feature; OpenAI detects user age through input analysis rather than verification tools. The launch addresses concerns about teenagers forming unhealthy attachments to AI and following unsafe advice, with 70% of young users reportedly turning to chatbots for companionship.

OpenAI reported $6.7 billion in Q2 revenue with 18% sequential growth but widening losses of $12.3 billion, falling behind rival Anthropic which posted $11.6 billion in revenue with $559 million operating profit. The company faces profitability challenges despite massive funding and scale, with higher costs outpacing revenue growth. OpenAI's financial struggles raise concerns about meeting contractual obligations and could affect major tech partners like Nvidia and Oracle that have built business models around the company's success.

OpenAI paused some AI training runs after discovering that an unreleased algorithm called Astra can find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities without human intervention. The company is implementing new monitoring systems using activation classifiers that aim to detect suspicious AI behavior within 30 minutes and will require approximately 20% additional hardware overhead. These measures may lead to higher prices in the long term and reflect OpenAI's efforts to tighten cybersecurity controls across its AI development operations.
Fortune 20
David Sacks criticized Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's regulatory proposals as creating a "DMV for AI" that would handicap U.S. competitiveness, but the article argues regulation has not prevented thriving industries like restaurants and automobiles from maintaining robust competition. Sacks claimed regulation would create approval delays and disadvantage American companies against China, yet the author notes China already enforces stricter AI laws on data labeling and content identification. The debate reflects a fundamental disagreement over whether safety rules stifle innovation or whether industries can prosper under reasonable regulatory frameworks.
Fortune 28
U.S. global influence historically depended on attracting world-class talent through universities and research institutions, but recent visa restrictions and scrutiny of international students risk eroding this advantage. International student enrollment fell 17% in fall 2025, and Pew Research found only 37% of respondents in 36 countries view the U.S. favorably compared to 57% unfavorable. The U.S. should pursue targeted security measures while maintaining robust academic exchange and international recruitment to sustain technological leadership in AI, biotech, and other fields.
Fortune 50
Rillet, an AI-native accounting platform startup founded two years ago, raised $100 million in Series C funding at a $1 billion valuation led by ICONIQ and existing backers including Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz. The company has doubled new annual recurring revenue in the three months before this raise and now serves over 600 customers across tech and non-tech industries. Rillet positions itself as replacing legacy ERP systems like Oracle and SAP by automating accounting work through AI agents, allowing finance teams to operate at a fraction of traditional size while shifting CFO focus from manual tasks to strategic planning.

19 August 2026
OpenAI's week has been defined by two competing narratives: aggressive expansion and acute vulnerability. The company is rolling out ChatGPT advertising across 31 European countries next week, launching a teen-restricted version with parental controls, and pushing deeper into regulated verticals—all while hemorrhaging money at an alarming rate. Q2 financials revealed $6.7 billion in revenue against $12.3 billion in operating losses, a gap so wide it undercuts the company's fundamental business model. By contrast, Anthropic posted $11.6 billion in revenue with $559 million in operating profit, suggesting the scaling economics that were supposed to vindicate OpenAI's growth strategy aren't materializing.
