Oxipital AI Closes Series A Following Major Commercial Expansion and Rapid Adoption of its V-CORTX AI Vision Platform

Published

on

Round Co-Led by SAS Private Equities and Scale Venture Partners to Accelerate Deployment of AI-Powered Manufacturing Solutions

BEDFORD, Mass., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oxipital AI, whose V-CORTX platform is quickly becoming the visual intelligence backbone for modern food manufacturing, today announced the successful close of its Series A financing. The round was co-led by SAS Private Equities and Scale Venture Partners, with participation from Material Impact and other existing shareholders.

The financing follows a period of rapid commercial growth as manufacturers increasingly deploy Oxipital AI’s V-CORTX platform to address labor shortages, product quality challenges, food safety requirements, and production bottlenecks in highly variable manufacturing environments.

Oxipital AI is on track to deliver 400% annual revenue growth in 2026, powered by production expansion with several global food manufacturers. Most recently, the company was awarded a major production contract to expand deployment of its V-CORTX platform, including 120 AI vision systems, to perform critical foreign object detection across multiple production lines and facilities.

“Food manufacturing is entering a new era,” said Mark J. Chiappetta, President & CEO of Oxipital AI. “While automation is deployed at scale in highly structured industries like semiconductor fabrication and automotive, many others have been unable to benefit broadly because products and production conditions vary constantly. Our V-CORTX platform changes the game, enabling conventional automation systems to observe, understand, and act with human-level performance in these complex real-world environments.”

At the center of the company’s success is V-CORTX, a synthetic AI vision platform purpose-built for high-variability manufacturing. With its proprietary synthetic model training pipeline and factory model, V-CORTX enables manufacturers to rapidly deploy inspection and quality control, yield and throughput optimization, foreign material detection, and vision-guided robotic automation solutions at production scale.

The platform also provides production data analytics to support deterministic decision-making, auditability, and end-to-end traceability, enabling manufacturers to confidently deploy AI in production environments where reliability, compliance, and operational accountability are essential.

“Machine vision has historically been one of the largest failure points in industrial automation,” said Rory O’Driscoll, Partner at Scale Venture Partners. “Oxipital AI has built a fundamentally differentiated approach that is already proving itself in production at scale. Their traction with major food manufacturers demonstrates both the urgency of the problem and the size of the opportunity ahead.”

As manufacturers accelerate investments in AI-driven operations, Oxipital AI is becoming an increasingly important component of modern production infrastructure. By combining synthetic AI vision, operational intelligence, and robotic automation integration, the company helps manufacturers improve product quality, increase throughput, reduce waste, strengthen food safety, and reduce dependence on scarce labor resources in environments that have traditionally challenged conventional automation systems.

About Oxipital AI

Oxipital AI is transforming manufacturing with V-CORTX, its synthetic visual intelligence platform that enables conventional automation systems to observe, understand, and act with human-level performance in highly variable production environments. The company is headquartered in the Greater Boston area. More information can be found at www.OxipitalAI.com.

RocketReach and Trestle partnership verifies 190 million phone numbers with a 2x higher connection rate

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RocketReach, the leading sales and lead intelligence platform trusted by more than 30 million users and 95% of the S&P 500, announced their partnership with Trestle, a market leader in enterprise identity verification solutions. This strategic partnership enriches RocketReach’s database of 190 million verified phone numbers with Trestle’s enterprise-level identity data APIs.

Trestle processes more than 500 million queries monthly, delivering low-latency, real-time identity intelligence. As an organization that values data accuracy over inflated coverage, Trestle is lauded for their leading global phone verification performance.

“RocketReach is setting a new verification standard for every phone number they deliver, and we’re proud to be their verification partner. Contact verification usually stops at whether a number exists, without transparency into the checks really taking place. At Trestle, we pair authoritative identity data and proprietary activity signals to grade the quality of every phone record. Pairing verified data with RocketReach’s industry-leading contact database enables sales, recruiting, and marketing teams to form high-quality connections with confidence.” 

— Jordan Reynolds, CRO & Co-founder, Trestle

“Our partnership with Trestle is a huge unlock for RocketReach customers. We’re looking down the barrel of an agentic future, and that future relies heavily on data that’s trusted, verified, and secure. As we prepare to guide our customers through this shift, we can’t be more excited to offer additional phone verification through Trestle. This collaboration strengthens our existing verification process, and allows us to deliver phone grades and filters that boost our customers’ ability to form human connections in an AI era.”

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach 

Every phone number, verified

While traditional phone validation tools offer high-level information – such as a phone’s country code, line type category, “valid” or “invalid” status – few enrich phone data with actionable activity scores and quality grading. RocketReach and Trestle’s strategic partnership aims to address this gap by verifying 100% of RocketReach’s phone database. Analysis conducted by RocketReach found that contacts with phone numbers verified by Trestle are twice as likely to result in a successful connection as contacts that have not been verified yet.

In addition to Trestle-verified phone numbers, all RocketReach users have access to key enhancements such as:

New confidence grading for phones (A, A-, B) that automatically remove invalid (F grade) numbersEnriched line types including mobile, direct dial, and office phones – backed by Trestle’s 99+% accuracyEnhanced search filters that surface contacts by mobile, direct dial, or office phone numbersNew phone grade-powered search that allows users to specify a minimum phone gradeExpanded API support for phone grades, line types, and user contact methods

Trusted data for all

Unlike competitors that charge extra for phone verification, RocketReach is committed to delivering verified sales and contact intelligence from day one. New and existing phone numbers in RocketReach will automatically be verified by Trestle at no additional cost. This added layer of verification gives Pro, Ultimate, and Custom RocketReach users immediate access to vetted phone numbers, line types, and confidence grades directly from their accounts.

“Data is the backbone for any business. That’s why we approach verification as the standard, not an add-on gated behind a paywall. By offering instant access to Trestle-verified numbers, we give our customers the autonomy to skip questionable phone numbers and invest more of their time into driving successful connections.” 

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach

GSMA: Mobile Industry to Contribute US$1.4 Trillion to APAC Economy by 2030 as Digital Trust, AI, Digital Sovereignty and Resilience Take Centre Stage at M360 ASEAN

Published

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile technologies and services are projected to contribute US$1.4 trillion to the Asia Pacific economy by 2030, a 40% increase from the US$1 trillion generated today, according to the GSMA’s new Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2026 report.

Released today in Kuala Lumpur ahead of next month’s M360 ASEAN 2026, the report finds that the next phase of digital growth will be shaped not only by connectivity, but by how governments, operators and technology providers respond to four converging priorities: the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), declining digital trust, demand for more resilient digital infrastructure, and growing interest in digital sovereignty.

Key findings:

5G connections are forecast to reach 1.5 billion by 2030, representing 50% of all mobile connections in Asia Pacific.Operators are expected to invest more than US$200 billion in capital expenditure between 2025 and 2030.The mobile ecosystem supported 18 million jobs across the region in 2025.More than 700 million adults remain offline despite being covered by mobile broadband networks.

Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA, said: “The mobile industry is playing an increasingly important role in shaping Asia Pacific’s digital future. As this report shows, economies and societies across the region are becoming increasingly digital, with mobile networks serving as the foundation for AI adoption, digital trust and resilient digital infrastructure. As governments place greater emphasis on digital sovereignty and citizens expect stronger protection from scams, fraud and cyber threats, the responsibilities placed on our industry continue to grow. M360 ASEAN brings together policymakers, industry leaders and innovators to address these challenges, strengthen trust and ensure digital transformation delivers long-term economic and social benefits for everyone.”

Many of the issues highlighted in the report, including AI adoption, digital trust, digital sovereignty, network resilience and digital inclusion, will be explored in depth at M360 ASEAN, taking place in Kuala Lumpur on 9-10 September 2026.
