Arrival’s spectacular fall continues with a delisting from Nasdaq: The move follows the commercial EV startup being late in posting financial results and failing to file a remediation plan with the exchange. It comes two months after Arrival secured a $50 million lifeline that it hoped would keep the company going as it explored options.

Cap VC is launching a tool for venture capital firms and has plans to expand that to startups raising money. All in the vein of making better investment decisions, faster, using AI.
