AI sales company Rox has closed a $100 million Series B funding round, lifting its valuation to $1.3 billion. The round was co-led by General Catalyst and March Capital, with follow-on investments from Sequoia and GV, and new participation from Prosperity7. Rox develops AI agents for sales use cases, designed to research customer accounts, identify priority leads, and prepare outreach content. The firm aims to reduce sales teams’ administrative work, shifting customer relationship management (CRM) from passive information storage to actionable execution. Co-founder Ishan Mukherjee previously founded Pixie Labs, which was acquired by New Relic, and served as its chief growth officer. The founding team also includes Shriram Sridharan, a founding member of AWS Amazon Aurora, former Google employee Diogo Ribeiro, and Stanford AI Lab professor Christopher Ré. Early clients include Ramp, New Relic, Trafigura, MongoDB, and Groq. The company noted that its annual recurring revenue (ARR) has grown more than tenfold in its first year since launch. Proceeds from the round will be allocated to AI research and product development, with plans to expand its U.S. sales, marketing, and business teams fivefold next year.

1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino published a post stating that his firm has participated in every previous financing round of Polymarket and will continue to increase its investment in the platform. Tomaino noted that as a seed-stage fund, 1confirmation does not typically invest in later-stage rounds, but this time it chose to break its own rule. His reasoning includes: People have used real money to voice their stances on political, cultural and other issues for over a century. In the AI era, the biggest challenge facing young people is discerning what is real. Products that can turn trading and investment enthusiasm into better information and more truth are unique. Polymarket is far more than a sports prediction platform, nor merely a global product. While the U.S. market currently has high enthusiasm for sports events, better sports predictions are not the most sustainable part of the prediction market; political, geopolitical and cultural information and truth are the core reason for its existence. Most young people who have interacted in real life believe Polymarket stands alone in this regard. Tomaino also stated that the “token is dead” narrative is unfounded. Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has an extremely strong competitive drive, and is straightforward, transparent and authentic.

Hong Kong police have dismantled a cross-border money laundering syndicate that laundered over HK$150 million in criminal proceeds between August and October this year, arresting 22 people. The Criminal Investigation Department of the New Territories North Regional Headquarters launched a two-day operation codenamed "Thunder Web" starting November 10, searching a guesthouse, a subdivided flat, and a shop disguised as a virtual currency over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform. Police said the syndicate recruited mainland Chinese nationals to open dummy accounts in Hong Kong, then arranged personnel to withdraw cash from ATMs using bank cards distributed by the group. The cash was sent to the aforementioned shop, where masterminds laundered the funds via virtual currency transactions and other methods. Among the 22 arrested, 21 are male and 1 female, aged 21 to 54: two are local residents, and 20 are mainland Chinese holding two-way permits. Investigations found two local core members controlled the money laundering hub; one mainland "runner" was responsible for recruiting cash withdrawers, distributing bank cards, and collecting/transporting cash; another 19 mainland members acted as account-opening brokers, cash withdrawers, and dummy account holders. Police seized over 1,600 bank ATM cards, approximately HK$5.85 million in cash, and more than 200 mobile phones.
