Good morning. This is Angel Investor Daily.

Three rounds in the last two days tell one story: the money is following AI agents, and everything they need.

First, Manus. The AI agent startup raised more than five hundred million dollars, led by Boyu Capital and IDG Capital. That's six months after Beijing blocked Meta's two billion dollar deal to buy it.

Second, Mecka. Sixty million dollars, led by Sequoia, with Nvidia, Microsoft's M12, Qualcomm and Samsung all joining. Mecka captures human motion to train robots.

Third, Rein Security. A twenty-five million dollar Series A to watch what enterprise AI agents do, and stop the harmful ones.

What it means: the agent was round one. Now investors are funding the data that trains it, and the security that watches it.
