Hyperbridge Expands Polkadot DeFi Access with Uniswap V4 Integration
The next phase of the Polkadot DeFi Singularity unlocks DOT utility across major EVM chains [Zurich, Switzerland - July 17, 2025] - Following the successful launch of the Polkadot DeFi Singularity initiative, Hyperbridge is advancing its mission to deepen DOT's presence across leading DeFi ecosystems through a new partnership with Uniswap V4. As Polkadot's native bridge, Hyperbridge has now launched DOT/ETH liquidity incentives on Uniswap V4 using Bunni, a specialized frontend for managing concentrated liquidity. Incentives for the ETH/DOT pool are currently live and will run for three months (until September 21, 2025). These incentives are aimed at rewarding liquidity providers and increasing DOT's utility across the Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB ecosystems. As part of the broader DeFi Singularity roadmap, incentives for the vDOT/ETH pool-powered by Bifrost-will follow shortly, with a scheduled launch on July 24, 2025. This expansion will further strengthen DOT's presence on Uniswap V4 by supporting both native and liquid-staked forms of DOT. The partnership supports the broader goals of the DeFi Singularity campaign, a joint initiative by Hyperbridge and Bifrost, which secured 795,000 DOT in funding from the Polkadot Treasury to boost DOT accessibility on EVM-compatible chains. 'This integration with Uniswap V4 is a key step in making DOT a more versatile multichain asset,' said Seun Lanlege, Co-founder of Hyperbridge. 'We're using Uniswap V4's advanced infrastructure to bring DOT into deeper liquidity environments, and we're just getting started.'

Levelpath Raises $55+ Million to Reimagine Enterprise Procurement, led by Battery Ventures
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Levelpath, the leading AI-native procurement platform, today announced $55+ million in Series B funding led by Battery Ventures, bringing the total raised to $100 million. The new capital accelerates Levelpath's mission to reinvent how global enterprises manage procurement, typically the second-largest operational expense after payroll. Other investors participated in the funding round as well, including Redpoint Ventures, Benchmark, 01A, New View Capital and World Innovation Lab. As part of the funding, Battery Ventures General Partner Neeraj Agrawal will join Levelpath's board of directors alongside representatives from existing investors. Agrawal, who has made multiple appearances on the Forbes Midas List and coined the "T2D3" growth paradigm for SaaS businesses, previously led Battery's investment in Coupa, a leading spend management platform that went public in 2016 and was acquired for approximately $8 billion in 2023. "Levelpath represents the future of enterprise procurement: intelligent, automated, and strategically aligned with business objectives," said Agrawal. "The team has built remarkable technology that delivers demonstrable value to some of the world's largest companies. We are excited to partner with them as they scale to become the definitive procurement platform for global enterprises." Solving the $13 Trillion Procurement Challenge Procurement is the second-largest business expense after payroll, yet it remains one of the least modernized functions in the enterprise. With Levelpath's proprietary Hyperbridge reasoning engine at its core, the platform delivers intelligent automation through true AI-native design, unlocking capabilities that legacy solutions built before 2022 are architecturally challenged to efficiently support. For decades, procurement has been trapped by systems designed for yesterday's problems. Complex interfaces. Endless workflows. Frustrated users. Levelpath changes everything with the first truly AI-native procurement platform built from the ground up for the modern enterprise. "Procurement touches every part of a business, yet it's been held back by tools that fight against you instead of working with you," said Alex Yakubovich, Co-founder and CEO of Levelpath. "We didn't retrofit old systems with AI. We reimagined what procurement could be when intelligence is built into every interaction." Since launching its flagship platform after raising $44.5 million across Benchmark-led Seed and Redpoint-led Series A rounds, Levelpath has built momentum as the 'next chapter' of procurement modernization, offering a sleek, AI‑native experience that delivers speed, transparency and ROI at scale.

Levelpath Expands AI-Native Platform with Newly Released AI Front Door and Pipeline
On the platform that has already created an immediate 200% ROI for customers, new capabilities empower procurement teams to unlock measurable value across the business SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Levelpath, For most employees, engaging with procurement feels like navigating a maze—complex forms, unclear processes, and endless back-and-forth that delays critical business initiatives. Today, Levelpath, the leading AI-native procurement platform, announced the launch of two breakthrough innovations that eliminate this friction: AI Front Door, a conversational interface that uses Levelpath's Hyperbridge reasoning engine to guide users to the right workflows through natural language, and Pipeline, a centralized project visibility layer that brings real-time insight into procurement priorities and performance. These features continue Levelpath's mission to eliminate the complexity of traditional procurement tools through intelligent automation, an intuitive user experience and enterprise-grade architecture designed to delight the business in the AI-native era. "Procurement teams must move with urgency without sacrificing strategic insight. With AI Front Door and Pipeline, we are removing the friction that slows them down," said Alex Yakubovich, Co-founder and CEO of Levelpath. "AI Front Door simplifies the user experience through intelligent guidance, and Pipeline gives teams a clear view of every project in flight, making it easier to prioritize work and demonstrate value. Together, these tools help organizations reduce complexity and operate with greater focus." AI Front Door marks the latest expansion of Levelpath's AI-native capabilities, designed to delight business stakeholders while empowering procurement teams to deliver exceptional service across the enterprise. By combining natural language input with contextual awareness, AI Front Door eliminates friction for employees seeking procurement support, enabling them to simply describe their needs and be intelligently guided to the right workflows. This breakthrough allows procurement teams to transform their internal customer experience, moving beyond traditional barriers to create seamless, efficient interactions that drive measurable business outcomes. Customers are already seeing measurable results with Levelpath's approach. TreeHouse Foods achieved over 200% return on investment in just six weeks by completely redesigning their claims intake process, eliminating spreadsheets and manual routing through Levelpath's intelligent automation. "That level of efficiency at such a low investment is very rare," said Jim O'Rourke, former CPO at TreeHouse Foods. "The new AI front door and Pipeline capabilities unlock visibility, control and value in the long-overlooked tail spend where there was none before." AI Front Door: A New Conversational Experience The new AI front-door experience makes navigating organizational procurement policies and procedures intuitive and effortless. Enabled by Levelpath's Hyperbridge reasoning engine, stakeholders can type freeform into a chat window and be intelligently routed to the appropriate intake form to support requested procurement activities. The platform interprets the user's request, understands the context of their needs, and applies the organization's specific policies and procedures to guide them through the correct procurement process. If clarification is needed, Levelpath's AI will ask targeted questions based on the organization's unique intake structure and policy requirements. For example, if a stakeholder requests to make a purchase, the AI will guide them through their organization's specific approval categories and compliance requirements. Once the AI understands what the stakeholder needs, it routes them to the correct workflow while pre-populating available information according to organizational policies. This feature eliminates the need to manually research organizational policies or memorize complex procurement procedures. Instead, stakeholders can simply describe their needs in natural language, and the platform automatically applies the relevant organizational guidelines and compliance requirements. AI Front Door seamlessly integrates with each organization's existing policies and approval structures without requiring changes to established procedures. By making organizational procurement policies more accessible and easier to navigate, Levelpath enables teams to spend less time deciphering compliance requirements and more time driving business results. Pipeline: Real-Time Visibility Into Every Project Pipeline allows teams to centrally visualize every procurement project from initial identification through completion in the Levelpath Hub. It surfaces critical metadata such as estimated spend, projected and actual savings, contract value, suppliers and project status in one accessible location. Projects are created either through intake or directly in the Hub. From there, key fields such as requester, department and estimated spend are automatically populated and updated as the project progresses through workflow steps from initiation to completion. Pipeline equips procurement and finance leaders with a unified, real-time view of their active and upcoming work. This makes it easier to allocate resources, track financial performance and align procurement activities with broader business goals. Users can filter projects by supplier, department, legal entity, region, cost center and other variables to focus on the most strategically important business issues. By highlighting key savings metrics and project outcomes, Pipeline shifts procurement from reactive task management to proactive value generation. The platform supports strategic planning by helping teams align on high-impact projects, rebalance workloads based on capacity and priorities, and clearly demonstrate their contribution to organizational success. This visibility enables procurement leaders to showcase the tangible value their teams deliver while ensuring resources are directed toward initiatives that drive the greatest business impact. Enhancements planned for later this quarter will include saved views, quick project summaries and filters based on project start and creation dates. These features will support more effective quarterly planning and allow organizations to surface trends, track impact and stay aligned at every stage of the procurement lifecycle. The New Foundation for Strategic Procurement Procurement is undergoing a structural shift. No longer bound by the constraints of legacy systems, leading organizations are embracing AI-native platforms that streamline operations, improve visibility and unlock enterprise-wide value. With AI Front Door and Pipeline, Levelpath gives procurement teams the ability to initiate transactional tasks through natural language and focus on strategic execution. "We're leaving behind monolithic legacy systems in favor of AI-native platforms built for operational efficiency," said Dr. Elouise Epstein. "By automating transactional noise and streamlining workflows, sourcing, payments, contracts, we enable procurement professionals to focus where it matters: managing risk, building supplier relationships and unlocking competitive intelligence." The era of procurement as a reactive business function is reaching its end. With intelligent automation, seamless user experiences and real-time insight, organizations now have a path forward that matches the speed and complexity of modern business. Supporting Procurement Leaders Through Technology Investment Success Levelpath has published a comprehensive white paper, "Getting to Yes: The CPO's Guide to Technology Investment Approval," designed to help procurement leaders secure approval and drive adoption of critical technology initiatives. The guide provides actionable strategies for overcoming common implementation barriers, from budget constraints and stakeholder resistance to change management complexities. The whitepaper addresses the unique challenges procurement teams face when advocating for AI investments, including how to build compelling business cases that resonate with finance and IT stakeholders, navigate organizational politics, and demonstrate measurable ROI. With AI transformation accelerating across enterprises, procurement leaders need proven frameworks to position their teams as strategic value drivers rather than cost centers. Key insights include the Power Framework for stakeholder engagement, strategies for quantifying efficiency gains, and methods for avoiding common failure patterns that derail technology projects before they deliver results. The guide also provides specific guidance on communicating AI benefits in language that resonates with different organizational functions, from technical specifications for IT teams to ROI projections for CFOs.
