🚀 🌐 Space-Eyes Goes Public in $638M SPAC

Plus: K2 Space hits $6.8B and Antares nabs $470M

August 5, 2026

Dear Friend,

Here are the key insights for the last week of Mavka Report coverage:

  • Physical AI is diversifying beyond humanoids into surgical, warehouse, and construction robotics, with Enigma, Magnendo, Unit AI, and Gritt all raising fresh rounds.
  • Mega-scale capital keeps flowing into AI-adjacent infrastructure, with Brookfield-NextEra's $100 billion Kentucky campus and Colt-RMZ's $21 billion India buildout signaling data centers as this cycle's biggest bet.
  • Nuclear and thermal energy startups are scaling fast, as Commonwealth Fusion, Antares, and Antora Energy collectively pulled in over $2 billion toward power for AI and defense demand.
  • Defense-tech and satellite plays are going public and raising big, from Space-Eyes' $638 million SPAC to K2 Space's $500 million Series D.
  • Proptech and mobility rounds stayed smaller but strategic, with Henry AI, Dwelly, and Terminal targeting real estate and fleet automation niches.
