RISING
7-day momentum
Open-source momentum in AI agent tooling (Sx, Full Stack HQ, Containarium) dominates the 3-day window with 12 launches and zero funding—a sign builders are shipping fast but investors are quiet. Meanwhile, Rapido's $240M Series C in India and Legend Of Toys' $2.2M pre-seed inject capital into mature and emerging commerce segments.

Patterns Forming
India activity: $242.2M total across two signals. Rapido's $240M Series C dominates; Legend Of Toys' $2.2M pre-seed rounds out a quiet but capital-intensive 3 days in Indian startup land. Both signal maturing markets (mobility consolidation, toy D2C expansion) rather than early-stage ferment.
