Okuma süresi: 4 dk

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Angel Investor Forum (AIF) today announced that AIF Seed Fund V LLC (Fund V) has completed investments of between $150,000 and $200,000 each in three new portfolio companies: Clearcut Surgical, Frönen Foods, and TaxRay.

Clearcut Surgical has engineered a medical device that integrates multiple surgical functions into a single device, enhancing surgeon visibility, eliminating hand-offs among surgical devices during operations, and mitigating the health risks associated with smoke in the operating room. Frönen offers consumers indulgent clean label frozen desserts made with only real ingredients and free of artificial additives. TaxRay addresses a prevalent challenge faced by multinational corporations in navigating withholding tax regulations globally with an AI solution that integrates seamlessly into a company’s workflow to reduce global withholding tax liabilities.

“All three companies push the boundaries of their respective markets,” said Caird Forbes-Cockell, Fund V Administrator. “Further, they meet our strict investing guidelines: Superb teams, strong traction, with huge potential upside.”

Fund V provides AIF members with access to a carefully curated portfolio of high-potential early-stage companies while adhering to rigorous due diligence and investment analysis processes. The investment in ClearCut Surgical represents one of AIF’s largest to date, with Fund V and individual members contributing a combined $650,000.

“We established Fund V for our members to bring a disciplined approach to angel investing and to select startups with the highest potential for success,” said Marty Isaac, President of the Angel Investor Forum. “As we invest substantial amounts in early-stage companies, we can also leverage the collective knowledge and experience of our group to assist these high-potential companies in achieving their goals. This strategic approach will improve returns and ultimately contribute to economic growth.”

Looking ahead, Fund V will invest $200,000 per company in early 2026 in two additional companies, after which AIFSeed Fund VI LLC is expected to commence investing in early-stage companies in Q2 2026 at comparable levels.

Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle

The post Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Taiko has officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams for its Layer 2 network. The integration provides developers with high-speed market data to build advanced DeFi applications. The move aims to improve security and attract institutional adoption by using Chainlink’s established infrastructure. Taiko, an Ethereum-based ETH $4 514 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $545.57 B Vol. 24h: $28.23 B Layer 2 rollup, has announced the integration of Chainlink LINK $23.26 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $15.75 B Vol. 24h: $787.15 M Data Streams.

Taiko operates as a “based rollup,” which means it leverages Ethereum validators for transaction sequencing for strong decentralization. Boosting DeFi and Institutional Interest Oracles are fundamental services in the blockchain industry. They act as secure bridges that feed external, off-chain information to on-chain smart contracts.
