💰 VCs love virality: Rork is a vibe coding startup that nearly went broke earlier this year. The startup was saved by a viral tweet that said its product was better than a well-known competitor. That tweet led to a $2.8 million seed round.
📉 Odd one out: Tesla's sales continue to slump in Europe despite EV sales continuing to rise in the region. In Spain, Tesla new car sales dropped 35% year-over-year in April. This drop may be due to Elon Musk's meddling in European elections.
🧪 Science AI: Anthropic is launching AI for Science, which is meant to support researchers working on "high-impact" science projects. This program involves giving up to $20,000 in Anthropic AI credits for a six-month period to qualified recipients.
🛍️ And another one: Datadog has been on a shopping spree. The cloud-monitoring startup announced it acquired Eppo, a feature-flagging and experimentation platform. Datadog just acquired Metaplane a few weeks ago.
🍎 Not surprising: As predicted, Apple appealed last week's court decision that requires the company to open its App Store to external payment options. Apple immediately complied with last week's ruling, despite clearly not agreeing with it.
👏 Better giving: Bono is a new startup looking to make the process of donating to charities easier. It just raised $1.6 million in pre-seed funding. While the company says it isn't named after the front man of U2, the name recognition probably doesn't hurt, considering Bono's extensive charitable efforts.
