The $200M freight check leads the stack

Gatik led confirmed company financings near $450M before the 08:45 AM PT cutoff on Aug. 25. The autonomous trucking company raised a $200M Series D led by Qatar Investment Authority and Koch Disruptive Technologies, with Millennium Management, ARK Invest, and Intact Private Capital participating. Gatik says it has more than $600M in contracted revenue and has completed 85,000 fully driverless orders; valuation was not disclosed. 12

Emerald AI raised a $150M oversubscribed Series A at a $1.05B valuation, co-led by Energize Capital and DCVC. The round brings total funding above $220M and backs software that flexes AI data-center power draw against grid stress. 34

Axios reports that Generalist raised around $200M led by 8VC, with valuation above the prior $2B mark. The company did not comment; Axios cites a federal Form D filing. Keep this figure separate from company-confirmed totals. 5

Three confirmed agent and air-layer rounds completed the window: Liner closed a $38M Series C led by LB Investment; Airbound raised a $37M Series A led by Greenoaks with DoorDash, Lachy Groom, Lightspeed, and Humba Ventures; and Keenable came out of stealth with a $26M seed led by Accel. 678

The pattern is directional within a six-deal sample: the largest confirmed checks bought freight routes and grid-flexible AI power, while smaller announced rounds funded agent search, cargo drones, and AI productivity. Stage labels and evidence quality still matter more than a headline total when the reader moves from triage to diligence.
