Zed Raises $32M Series B Led by Sequoia to Scale Collaborative AI Coding Vision

 BOULDER, Colo. - Wednesday, 20. August 2025 AETOSWire Print 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zed Industries, creator of the high-performance open-source code editor Zed, today announced it has raised $32 million in Series B funding led by Sequoia Capital, bringing total funding to over $42 million. The investment will accelerate development of new capabilities that enable real-time collaboration between developers and AI agents directly within code.

Contextual and Collaborative Coding for the AI Era

Zed is building persistent, contextual conversations tied directly to code. Unlike Git, which enables collaboration through commits and branches but leaves developers working alone between commits, Zed's approach captures ongoing discussions and decisions as they happen using character-level permalinks powered by conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs).

“We're building fundamentally better primitives for collaborative coding, which will allow conversations with teammates and agents to take place directly within the IDE," said Nathan Sobo, CEO and co-founder of Zed. “By durably linking conversations to specific sections of the code via character-level permalinks, we can transform codebases into multi-dimensional sources of context explaining how any line of code came to be.”

"The future of software development is collaboration – both with other humans and AI agents – and Zed is pioneering the infrastructure to make that vision reality," said Sonya Huang, Partner at Sequoia Capital. "Their approach to contextual coding represents a fundamental shift in how developers will work with AI agents, and we're excited to support their mission to transform the development experience."

Built From the Ground Up for Collaboration

Unlike competitors who have forked Microsoft's VS Code and bolted on AI features, Zed was engineered from the ground up for collaboration. Built on a lightning-fast Rust codebase with GPUI, a GPU-accelerated UI framework created by the Zed team, the editor enables seamless interaction between humans and AI agents. Since going open-source in 2024, Zed has grown quickly, attracting 1,100 contributors and more than 150,000 active developers.

About Zed

Zed is an open-source, multiplayer code editor built for performance from the ground up in Rust. Founded by the creators of Atom and Electron, Zed is designed to make software creation joyful, fast, and collaborative.

Faraday Future launches “EAI + Crypto” dual-flywheel & dual-bridge ecosystem

 Wholly owned subsidiary has been established for the crypto business

Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc, a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, has officially launched its “EAI + Crypto” Dual-Flywheel & Dual-Bridge Ecosystem Strategy — marking the beginning of a new chapter in AI mobility and Web3 integration.

This initiative integrates Embodied AI (EAI) with the explosive growth of the crypto asset economy to create a two-way, independently operating circular growth engine between Web2 and Web3, positioning FF at the forefront of the next era in global industrial and financial evolution.

A new growth paradigm

Faraday Future believes that AI represents the next great leap in productivity, while Crypto and Web3 signify a revolution in the relations of production. Together, these forces offer a once-in-decades opportunity for transformation — a meta-chemistry that FF aims to drive through its newly launched strategy.

“The next decade could be a super long bull cycle for the crypto market,” said Ian Calderon, FF Co-Creation Officer and Founding Board Member of the California Blockchain Working Group. “FF is building a dual-engine circular growth system — combining the long-cycle, high-value EAI EV ecosystem with the short-cycle, high-velocity Crypto ecosystem. These two flywheels will empower each other, redefining what’s possible in mobility and financial innovation.”

Building the bridge between Web2 and Web3

FF’s Dual-Bridge Strategy positions the Company as one of the first U.S.-listed public companies directly connecting real-world business operations with on-chain assets. Plans are underway to launch the EAI Vehicle Chain, enabling tokenized vehicle sales, crypto-based deposits, and Web3-native user engagement — while leveraging blockchain technology to create a decentralized and transparent mobility economy.

“The Dual-Flywheel & Dual-Bridge Strategy reflects our deep insights into the future of the global economy,” said YT Jia, Founder & Co-CEO of Faraday Future. “FF is not just transitioning into a Web3 era — we are architecting it. This is how we deliver exponential value creation for our stockholders.”

A new crypto infrastructure for capital markets

FF also officially announced the C10 Index, a market-cap-weighted basket of the world’s top 10 crypto assets (excluding stablecoins), calculated from midnight Pacific Time on August 16, 2025, with a base value of 1,000. The Index will be tracked in real-time on FF.com and the FF App.

Accompanying the Index, the FFAI C10 Treasury is being launched — targeting $500M to $1B in initial crypto asset purchases, with a dedicated $30M funding round completed or nearly complete. Assets will be allocated using an 80% passive, 20% active strategy. The treasury is designed to provide sustainable returns, with staking yields estimated at 3%–5%, creating stable income that can fund product innovation, stock buybacks, and further asset growth.

FF is also preparing to apply for a C10 ETF license, aiming to expand public access to the value potential of this portfolio.

The Crypto Flywheel strategy — operated through a wholly owned and independently managed subsidiary, FFAI Crypto Treasury and Bridging Holdings Inc. — is expected to dramatically enhance FF’s income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. With on-chain assets serving as both reserves and flexible capital, the strategy enables FF to generate stable income through staking, reduce reliance on high-cost financing, and improve net asset value and structure. It aims to accelerate product development and market expansion through a 1/3–1/3–1/3 profit reinvestment model.

FF’s crypto and EV businesses are operated under separate legal and financial structures to ensure risk isolation, operational independence, and asset transparency. Digital assets will be held by third-party custodians and will be fully verifiable on-chain. The structure is designed to allow strategic synergies without cross-subsidization, ensuring both lines of business can flourish independently — while reinforcing each other.

With this launch, Faraday Future offers investors access to potential dual benefits from the AI mobility and crypto asset markets. This revolutionary move supports the Company’s long-standing commitment to maximize stockholder value in a future-forward and sustainable manner.

ISACA and INGRYD Academy Partner to Train 10,000 Aspiring Tech Professionals in Nigeria

 (BUSINESS WIRE)--Global IT professional association ISACA and Nigeria-based tech talent training and outsourcing academy INGRYD Academy today announced a partnership focused on advancing IT/information security readiness and workforce development for those pursuing careers advancing trust in technology, including cybersecurity, emerging technologies and IT audit.

Designed to support Nigeria’s national workforce development goals and meet Africa’s growing demand for digital skills, the five-year partnership will equip 10,000 aspiring tech professionals with in-demand training and access to ISACA’s global professional community.

Africa’s digital economy is projected to reach $180 billion by 2025, according to a report from IFC and Google, yet the region faces a critical shortage of trained professionals to meet growing demand.

“Empowering the next generation as they embark on their tech career journeys not only ensures the strength of our global IT and cybersecurity workforce but also builds tech and cyber capability—a critical enabler of economic growth and overall societal prosperity through the safer adoption of digital technologies,” says Chris Dimitriadis, ISACA Chief Global Strategy Officer. “We are excited about our partnership with INGRYD Academy, and we applaud its efforts to open new learning pathways for students and work towards a safer digital world.”

“The collaboration between ISACA and INGRYD Academy represents a powerful driver of opportunity and change. By providing Nigerian students with globally recognized credentials and connecting them to ISACA’s community, INGRYD Academy is opening doors to new careers and empowering the younger generations to contribute to sustainable growth and innovation across the region,” says Gustavo Frega, Senior Academic Strategy and Business Partnership Manager, ISACA.

“This partnership marks a transformative step in our mission to close the digital skills gap in Africa. By equipping 40,000 learners with globally recognized training, we’re enabling long-term career mobility. We’re not just creating tech talent—we’re building a generation of problem-solvers and digital leaders. That’s the kind of impact that moves nations forward.” says HRM Khadijat Abdulkadir, CEO, Ingryd Academy.

The Arabian Silk Road: First Global Path to Responsible Consumption and Production

 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 

Saudi Green Building Forum convenes its 15th Edition hosted by the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing,

 

Renowned for its green plains and world-famous dates, Al Qassim has emerged as a Saudi model for integrating agricultural heritage with modern sustainability practices. Under the patronage of HRH Prince Dr. Faisal bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the “Qassim Land” initiative was launched to promote green cities and a circular economy, in support of SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

The initiative aims to enhance production methods, recycling, and effective utilization of agricultural waste, while expanding exports into global markets. Al Qassim’s experience was recently showcased at the UN’s High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development Goals in July, during which the Saudi Green Building Forum (SGBF) presented a success story, illustrating Saudi Arabia’s efforts to localize SDGs by aligning them with circular economy principles.

SGBF Secretary-General Faisal Al-Fadl, explained that the Qassim governor’s initiative is documented through saaf® as a standard framework that promotes innovation and sustainability. He also emphasized that “circular economy is no longer an option but a necessity to ensure food and environmental security.”

Dubbed “the Arab Silk Road”, the Qassim dates industry reaches markets across various continents. To further elevate the Kingdom’s standing, HH the Governor of AlQassim launched the “International Date Road” initiative to link Saudi date production to the historic Silk Road. The project will facilitate the export of more than 578,000 tons of dates annually, strengthening the Kingdom's position as a global hub for date trade, in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.

The Saudi Green Building Forum, recognized in Consultative Status with the United Nations, hosts its 15th edition, with 3,000+ participants, from companies such as Saudi Aramco, Nesma & Partners, Climatech, Roshan, and Shaker Group. Titled: “Energizing Green Action: Driving Nature-Based Solutions for Sustainable Development Goals”, the SGBF will feature 50 speakers and more than 20 sessions to address green city challenges, promote multilateral agreements, and further accelerate localization of Sustainable Development Goals in light of Saudi Vision 2030. Sponsored by the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing, the forum will take place on October 1-2, 2025, at Al-Malfa Hall - Mohammed bin Salman Non-Profit City (MiSK City), Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

LevelBlue Completes Acquisition of Trustwave to Form the World's Largest Managed Security Services Provider

DALLAS - Tuesday, 19. August 2025

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- LevelBlue, a global leader in cloud-based, AI-driven managed security services (MSS), has completed its acquisition of Trustwave, a global provider of cybersecurity and managed detection and response (MDR) leader.

Today’s acquisition establishes LevelBlue as the world’s largest pure-play MSSP with the broadest and most comprehensive portfolio of managed security, offensive security, strategic advisory, incident response, and security software. This unmatched scale empowers clients and partners to accelerate threat detection, streamline security operations, reduce cyber risk, and mature their overall cybersecurity posture.

“The acquisition of Trustwave makes us the most complete cybersecurity partner in the industry,” said Bob McCullen, Chairman and CEO of LevelBlue. “We’re redefining what it means to be a managed security provider—combining world-class human expertise with AI-powered, platform-led services to give clients faster detection, smarter response, and long-lasting resilience against evolving threats. By uniting offensive and defensive strengths, we can deliver true defense in depth for enterprises, governments, and partners worldwide.”

LevelBlue and Trustwave unite decades of leadership in MSS, MDR, incident response, and threat intelligence. The combined company integrates LevelBlue’s expertise in network security, strategic risk management, and threat intelligence with Trustwave’s market-leading MDR powered by the Fusion Security Operations Platform, offensive security capabilities, and elite SpiderLabs threat intelligence team. Together, they form a single, unified partner that simplifies operations, accelerates effective response, optimizes leading cyber technologies, and ensures cohesive protection across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.

LevelBlue’s expanded intelligence ecosystem now merges OTX, the world’s largest open threat-sharing platform, with the proprietary detection logic and advanced research capabilities of both LevelBlue Labs and Trustwave SpiderLabs. This unique combination delivers exceptional situational awareness across the threat landscape, enabling faster detection, reduced alert fatigue, and more proactive threat mitigation throughout the security lifecycle.

Earlier this year, Trustwave became the first and only cybersecurity pure-play provider to achieve full authorized status under both the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and StateRAMP. These credentials significantly strengthen LevelBlue’s ability to serve the U.S. Department of Defense, the Defense Industrial Base, federal agencies, and state and local governments worldwide, providing streamlined procurement, compliance assurance, and mission-critical resilience for organizations that cannot afford downtime or exposure.

“LevelBlue’s acquisition of Trustwave, on the heels of the Stroz Friedberg transaction, marks a pivotal moment in cybersecurity, delivering a very broad portfolio of capabilities among pure-play services providers,” said Craig Robinson, IDC Research Vice President for Security Services. “As cyber risks escalate, resilience is now mission-critical for enterprises and government agencies alike.

“IDC research shows that 36% of organizations are significantly increasing their cyber-resilience spending in 2025. This reality reflects security teams’ needs for increased cybersecurity maturity while simultaneously satisfying the C-Suite’s demands for increased resilience and uptime. LevelBlue’s full-featured suite of solutions, including MDR, AI-driven threat detection, incident response, offensive security, and strategic advisory, sets up organizations to shift from a reactive defense posture to proactive resilience at scale.”

This acquisition is part of LevelBlue’s broader strategy to merge the industry’s strongest organizations and capabilities to deliver superior outcomes for clients. In addition to acquiring Trustwave, LevelBlue recently announced the completion of its acquisition of Aon’s (NYSE: AON) Cybersecurity and Intellectual Property (IP) Litigation consulting groups, including the respected cybersecurity firms Stroz Friedberg and Elysium Digital.

These strategic consolidations address the growing demand for more comprehensive, integrated, and adaptive cybersecurity solutions, positioning LevelBlue as the largest independent, pure-play MSSP globally. The company remains committed to strengthening partnerships, maximizing measurable ROI for clients, and driving innovation to meet evolving threats.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

About LevelBlue

We simplify cybersecurity through award-winning managed services, experienced strategic consulting, threat intelligence, and renowned research. Our team is a seamless extension of yours, providing transparency and visibility into security posture and continuously working to strengthen it.
