Jeff Bezos is co-leading a new AI start-up called Project Prometheus, which focuses on artificial intelligence for engineering and manufacturing in sectors like computers, cars, and spacecraft. The company has secured $6.2 billion in funding, marking Bezos's first formal operational role since leaving Amazon in 2021.

SafeHill, a Chicago-based cybersecurity firm formerly known as Tacticly, has raised $2.6 million in pre-seed funding led by Mucker Capital and Chingona Ventures. Co-founded by Hector Monsegur, a former black hat hacker, the company offers a continuous threat exposure management platform that combines AI-driven penetration testing with human validation.
