Our weekly summary of notable fundraising and AI acquisitions. This week covers procurement, document analysis for the construction sector, decision intelligence and more.

1. SpendHQ acquires Sligo AI to deliver AI capabilities in enterprise procurements
   SpendHQ has bought agentic enterprise procurement company Sligo AI to deliver configurable agentic AI capabilities in enterprise procurement so systems can execute across entire procurement workflows and not just to generate insights.
   The Sligo AI platform directly connects to enterprise tools such as ERP systems, procurement platforms, contract management systems and data warehouses to generate structured outputs—work that often requires significant manual effort and is fundamental as agentic AI is only as effective as the data it works on.

This latest funding round brings the total amount raised to USD 100mn.

6. London-based Riplo announces £2.3mn raise
   Riplo, a startup developing an agentic system for consulting, has raised GBP 2.3mn (EUR 2.6mn) for its pre-Seed funding round led by Cherry Ventures. Other participants are Blue Lion Capital and agnel investors.
