Despite the turbulent economic climate, the startup world has shown resilience, with several notable deals and funding rounds taking place this week. From AI-powered coding assistants to open source databases, and from established players to emerging markets, the startup ecosystem is adapting to the new reality.

One of the most interesting stories of the week is the reported acquisition of Metaplane, an AI-powered data observability startup, by Datadog. Although the deal terms were not disclosed, the acquisition highlights the growing importance of AI in the data observability space. Metaplane, a Y Combinator alum, had raised $22.2 million in funding to date.

In the AI coding assistant space, Anysphere, the company behind Cursor, is reportedly no longer in acquisition talks with OpenAI, citing rapid growth as the reason. Meanwhile, Windsurf, another AI coding assistant rival, is still in the running for an acquisition by OpenAI. The competition between these two startups is heating up, and it will be interesting to see how this space evolves in the coming months.

Funding news was also plentiful this week, with several startups raising significant rounds. Supabase, an open source database startup, raised a $200 million Series D just seven months after its previous funding round, increasing its valuation to $2 billion. Adaptive Computer, another vibe coding startup, raised a $7 million seed round led by Pebblebed. Manychat, which provides an AI-enabled tool for businesses to manage and automate conversations, raised a $140 million Series B led by Summit Partners.

Other notable funding rounds include Endor Labs, which raised a $93 million Series B to develop tools to scan AI-generated code for vulnerabilities, and Noxtua, a Berlin-based legal AI startup, which raised a $92.2 million Series B to develop sovereign AI for law-related use cases. Fintech API brokerage startup Alpaca picked up a $52 million Series C to further expand internationally, while Cynomi, a London- and Tel Aviv-based startup, raised a $37 million Series B to provide SMBs with an AI-powered "virtual CISO."

In emerging markets, Fluent Ventures is distributing $40 million to international founders, replicating proven business models in these regions. This move highlights the continued interest in investing in emerging markets, despite the current economic uncertainty.

In other news, Techstars recently updated its standard deal, investing $220,000 into startups entering its three-month program, a $100,000 increase from previously. This move mirrors Y Combinator's deal terms and further solidifies Techstars' position as a leading startup accelerator.

Overall, this week's startup news demonstrates the resilience and adaptability of the ecosystem, even in the face of turbulent times. With AI and funding in focus, it will be interesting to see how these trends continue to shape the startup landscape in the coming months.
