Blitzy Signs Cambridge's Largest Office Deal of 2026, Sealing a 52,000-SQFT Expansion

Blitzy quadruples its headcount at its global headquarters at One Kendall Square, solidifying the campus as a hub for AI innovation.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blitzy, the autonomous software development company founded in Cambridge in 2023, has signed a 52,000-rentable-square-foot office lease at One Kendall Square, expanding and keeping its headquarters in its origin city. The transaction is the largest new office lease completed in Cambridge in 2026, according to JLL, which represented Blitzy in the deal.

"We're choosing to keep building where we were founded and making an investment in the future of the AI community here," said Brian Elliott, CEO and Co-Founder of Blitzy. "We've transformed from two HBS students with a vision to more than 200 people on-the-ground in Cambridge pushing the frontier of AI and solving enterprises' largest software related problems. This lease gives us room to grow and represents an intentional bet on Cambridge."

The lease covers two floors at Building 200 at One Kendall Square and runs five years, with Blitzy expected to take occupancy in Q2 of 2027 following a 39,000-square-foot build-out. The building is owned by ARE-MA REGION NO. 59, LLC, which is an affiliate of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

Blitzy raised $200 million in May 2026 at a $1.4 billion valuation in a round led by Northzone and quadrupled its headcount in the first half of 2026. The new space will be built to support more than 300 employees. The company is hiring across engineering, go-to-market and operations.

"We're bringing exceptional people together in Cambridge to push the boundaries of what's possible for our customers," added Nick Denaro, Sr. Director, People & Talent, Blitzy. "As we enter our next phase of growth, we believe the talent to build a category-defining technology company is already here, and we're committed to building it in Cambridge."

Blitzy's investment in the greater Boston area is an endorsement and a commitment that embodies the innovation, hard work, and first principles thinking of the city.

"It's no mystery that the Cambridge office market has been particularly hard hit during the last 6 years, but the green shoots are there, with AI companies like Blitzy driving that early momentum and representing over 60% of the new leasing volume across the city year to date," said Bryan Sparkes, Senior Managing Director at JLL.

Blitzy selected JLL and Bryan Sparkes to represent the company.

Southern California's most popular airport scales for the future with Boldyn Networks' advanced private wireless network

Private network will support security operations and future innovation

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boldyn Networks (Boldyn) has been selected to design, build, and operate a high-performance private wireless network at Southern California's Ontario International Airport (ONT), recently ranked by JD Power as the second most popular medium-sized airport in North America1.

This significant investment in ONT's digital infrastructure provides the airport with a dedicated, secure private wireless network that offers greater visibility and resiliency than public networks. By utilizing a segmented architecture, dedicated spectrum, and enterprise-level controls, the airport is establishing a foundation for mission-critical applications that will scale alongside its rapid passenger and cargo growth.

This strategic deployment comes as ONT has seen annual passenger volumes surpass 7 million, making it Southern California's fastest-growing airport over the past 10 years.

"Investing in a private wireless network gives Ontario International Airport the operational autonomy necessary to manage and secure our more than 1,700-acre footprint with precision," said Chuck Miwa, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for the Ontario International Airport Authority. "Modernizing our communication infrastructure ensures that as our passenger volumes continue to climb, our ability to monitor, respond, and manage airfield security remains ahead of the curve, providing a seamless and secure environment for our passengers and tenants."

Initially supporting physical security and perimeter intrusion detection, and expanding to advanced camera coverage across the site, Boldyn's mobile private network combines 4G/5G access, on-premise edge compute and centralized private cloud management. Boldyn's 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) ensure reliable performance for the airport's most critical security operations.

"We're applying our experience from supporting passenger journeys at some of the world's largest transit hubs to design a network that can handle the complex, high‑interference environment of a major U.S. cargo hub," said Jason Caliento, Chief Commercial Officer, US for Boldyn Networks. "By managing this network through our dedicated NOC and SOC, we are delivering a scalable platform that supports immediate security requirements while providing the bandwidth and low latency required for the airport's long-term innovation roadmap."

Xiangxi: Where heritage, wilderness, and rural vitalization converge

WUXI, China, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:

Shrouded in enduring mystery, the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture in Central China's Hunan province holds centuries-old ethnic traditions, untamed mountain landscapes, and dynamic rural vitalization awaiting discovery by global visitors.

From Sept 22 to 24, a delegation of international social media influencers embarked on a journey across the prefecture, bringing fresh perspectives to uncover local tales.

The journey began at Fenghuang Ancient Town, where traditional customs linger amid historic streets and scenic riverfronts. Donning ethnic Miao garments, participants sampled regional dishes and cruised the Tuojiang River alongside rows of stilt houses. On the river, Thai journalist Pichayapa Sutabutra sang a love song celebrating the bonds beyond wealth, social standing, and educational attainment.

Such encounters resonated deeply with the visitors. Nigerian content creator Oluwabunmi Jimoh highlighted Fenghuang's scenery, cuisine and cultural appeal, expressing a strong desire to bring more people to the region. "The National Day holiday is approaching, and I'd encourage everyone to come," he said.

French influencer Marius Etrillard echoed that enthusiasm, praising the architecture, clear waters, and variety of local experiences. "I can see why this place is rated as a 5A tourist attraction in China," he remarked.

The region offered further cultural riches as the delegation took in the night view of Furong town, famous for its cascading waterfalls. At Laosicheng, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, they immersed themselves in the annals of ancient Tusi civilization. The winding lanes of Qianzhou Ancient Town, meanwhile, unfolded another layer of the region's enduring local customs.

Mountains frame not only Xiangxi's natural backdrop but also its social transformation. The delegation marveled at Aizhai Bridge's grand engineering above deep gorges and joined folk cooking activities amid daily life in Dehang Miao village.

At Shibadong village, the birthplace of China's targeted poverty-alleviation initiative, the delegation engaged in Miao embroidery and witnessed the village's comprehensive progress that epitomizes tangible gains of local rural vitalization.

"It is an honor to come to a place like this and see how local people have developed over time," said British influencer Joe Burns.

Gazelle Completes the Ultimate Lineup with New Class 1 Models

Three New Models Expand the Award-Winning Ultimate Platform Across More Price Points and Riding Styles

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than a century, Gazelle has designed bikes around a simple idea: when a bike feels right, people ride more. Today, Gazelle is bringing that philosophy to more riders with the launch of three new Class 1 models, the Ultimate T10, Ultimate C5 and Ultimate C380, completing the Ultimate lineup across a wider range of price points and riding styles.

While the core Ultimate riding experience remains unchanged, Gazelle streamlined select components across the Class 1 lineup, providing riders the flexibility to customize their setup with a wide range of premium aftermarket component upgrades.

"The Ultimate series is defined by a sense of adventure and freedom, and these new additions bring that sporty performance to an even wider range of riders," said Mark Danhof, General Manager of Gazelle North America. "The Ultimate Speed models are built for riders chasing speed and commuting performance. These new Class 1 models are for the rest of the ride, more leisure and recreation-focused, still sporty and dynamic, but tuned for riders who want a natural, pedal-assist feel. These are some of Gazelle's bestselling models, now at an even better price. Together, the lineup means there's an Ultimate for however someone wants to ride."

One Platform, Built for the Way People Ride

The new Class 1 models share the same redesigned Ultimate platform, geometry and ride characteristics as the premium Class 3 Ultimate Speed models introduced earlier this year. Gazelle refines that balance of comfort and performance with a natural ride feel that's intuitive and easy. Recognized with a 2026 iF Design Award, the redesigned platform balances Gazelle's signature comfort with sporty performance, intuitive handling and a clean, integrated design. Across all models, the platform offers the same core Ultimate experience with consistent benefits designed for stability:

- An active but comfortable riding position for better visibility

- A clean, integrated design with internal battery (540Wh standard; aftermarket upgradable to 800Wh or Bosch PowerMore 250 range extender)

- Full Bosch Smart System integration, including the Kiox or Purion display standard on every model

- An optional smartphone mount via the new Gazelle stem's Intellimount, turning a rider's phone into an on-bike display

- For extra safety on the road, all models feature integrated deceleration brake lights. When the rider slows down, the rear light automatically brightens to alert traffic behind them.

The Ultimate eBike Lineup

These three models span a range of specifications and price points, letting riders choose the setup that fits how they want to ride. This versatile lineup is headlined by a brand-new addition to the North American portfolio:

- Ultimate T10: The most accessible entry into the Ultimate platform, best for riders seeking the most accessible, traditional eBike experience for everyday performance. It features a Shimano Cues 10-speed drivetrain and the newest Bosch Active Line Plus motor with an increased 10Nm of torque (60Nm), providing a more traditional riding feel with responsive support for varied terrain and daily use. (MSRP: $3,499)

- Ultimate C5: A brand-new model for the North American market, the C5 introduces a key balance of performance, simplicity and price, designed for riders wanting upgraded performance, extreme reliability, and hassle-free ownership. As the best balance of price and performance in the lineup, it features a Gates carbon belt drive with a Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub for a low-maintenance, reliable daily use experience. (MSRP: $3,999)

- Ultimate C380: The premium touring experience for those seeking total freedom on the road, best for riders looking for ultimate comfort and seamless technology. This model is smooth, quiet and fully integrated, featuring Enviolo stepless shifting and a belt drive. It includes the Kiox display with on-board navigation for seamless travel. (MSRP: $4,499)

PhoenixAI Joins Cloudera as a Foundational Database Partner

PhoenixAI Cloud database engine to be available on Cloudera Anywhere Cloud ™ Marketplace, bringing sub-second real-time analytics and agentic AI workloads to Cloudera's user base.

MENLO PARK, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PhoenixAI, the Agentic AI Database, today announced a strategic partnership with Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere. PhoenixAI is joining as a foundational data partner for Cloudera's newly launched hybrid data and AI platform, and Cloudera Anywhere Cloud Marketplace. Through this partnership, enterprise customers can deploy PhoenixAI's high-performance cloud database engine directly within Cloudera's secure private and public cloud environments.

As organizations accelerate their adoption of autonomous AI agents and real-time decision-making systems, access to fresh, sub-second enterprise data is critical. PhoenixAI's inclusion in Cloudera's private and sovereign infrastructure offering delivers an AI-native database foundation designed specifically for high-concurrency, low-latency workloads while adhering to strict enterprise governance and data sovereignty mandates.

Speed, Reduced Complexity, and Enhanced Security

By making PhoenixAI natively available within Cloudera's ecosystem, the joint solution delivers three core advantages to enterprise engineering and data teams:

Sub-Second Speed at Scale: PhoenixAI delivers sub-second SQL query performance across live streaming data and historical lakehouse formats, sustaining high concurrency without performance degradation.

Radically Reduced Complexity: Customers can instantly spin up a managed database cluster in a couple of clicks via the Cloudera Anywhere Cloud Marketplace. PhoenixAI queries real-time and lakehouse data in place—eliminating mandatory data denormalization, complex pre-aggregations, or unnecessary ETL pipelines.

Enhanced Security and Enterprise Trust: Deployed securely within the customer's private cloud environment, PhoenixAI enforces fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC), per-query auditing, and full data sovereignty, ensuring sensitive AI workloads remain protected under enterprise security protocols.

Executive Commentary

"PhoenixAI was selected as an early foundational database partner for Cloudera's innovative private cloud initiative," said Andy Ye, co-founder and chief product officer of PhoenixAI. "AI agents and modern real-time applications demand sub-second data access without compromising security or operational simplicity. Partnering with Cloudera allows our mutual customers to deploy PhoenixAI's high-concurrency database engine instantly within their trusted private cloud infrastructure, enabling them to move AI from experiment to production faster than ever."

"Our customers want AI on their own terms, in their own environments (self-hosted or Bring Your Own Cloud) with data under their control," said Michelle Hoover, SVP of Global Alliances & Channels at Cloudera. "Through Cloudera's collaboration with PhoenixAI, we can offer them a real-time database built the way agents need it to work, with the governance our customers expect."

Experience PhoenixAI Live at Evolve 26

PhoenixAI will showcase the new integration and host live technical demonstrations at Cloudera's annual global customer event, EVOLVE26, on October 27, 2026, at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Attendees can visit the PhoenixAI booth to see sub-second agentic AI query execution in action and explore how to instantly spin up cluster environments via the Cloudera Anywhere Marketplace.

About PhoenixAI

PhoenixAI is the Agentic AI Database, purpose-built to give autonomous AI agents sub-second access to live enterprise data at massive scale. The platform unifies real-time and at-rest data in a single AI-native engine, combining the speed and concurrency that agentic workloads demand with the governance and deployment flexibility enterprises require to put AI into production.

Founded by former Tinder and Match Group exec Taru Kapoor, Rivet brings people and community back into dating

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivet, a new dating network, today launches nationwide across the United States. Founded by former Tinder and Match Group executive Taru Kapoor, Rivet introduces Social Matching, a model that lets people help each other find meaningful connections and love.

Rivet's Social Matching harnesses the collective intuition of people with different perspectives to surface introductions that people might swipe past on conventional dating apps. The company has raised $10.5 million in seed funding, backed by Peak XV Partners, Shine Capital and Blume Ventures, to build and scale their innovative people-powered approach to dating.

Users can join Rivet not just to find connections for themselves but also to help others find love. As a Matcher, one weighs in on potential pairs and recommends introductions one thinks could work. The pairs who get high Social Matching scores are introduced to each other, and each individual independently decides whether they want to match with someone and begin a conversation. Rivet is for everyone, even if you're not currently dating, you can join as a Matcher and can help someone else find love and meaningful connections.

In a national survey of 2,013 U.S. adults commissioned by Rivet*, more than two-thirds (68%) of Gen Z and Millennials surveyed said they would be interested in helping someone they don't personally know find a potential romantic match, if they could do so anonymously and the person made the final decision, including 78% of Gen Z and 60% of Millennials. When asked what would make them interested in helping someone else find a romantic match, the top motivations were helping someone find love (36%) and helping someone avoid a bad match (27%).

"Dating has always been social," said Taru Kapoor, Founder and CEO of Rivet. "I spent many years thinking what we were building was removing friction from meeting people. Instead, we removed the people. Online dating apps created millions of connections in the last decade, mostly because they expanded the pool, connecting people to those they wouldn't have met otherwise. A huge side effect of that was that they turned something as fundamentally social and human as dating into a lonely, overwhelming activity which felt transactional and isolating.

I built Rivet to change that. Rivet is built on a simple truth: humans understand chemistry and compatibility in a way that no algorithm can. You don't have to find your person entirely on your own, let people help you find your person."

Rivet's model is built around a give-to-get philosophy as Matchers help each other find meaningful connections, creating a community where people can play an active role in each other's love stories. "Social matching takes the best of human intuition and judgment and uses it to bring people together. It's not a feature, it's the entire point of the platform. Matchers win when two people actually match, which is what single daters want instead of endless swiping. It's win-win," said Kapoor.

Elie Seidman, former CEO of Tinder and OkCupid, and an early investor in Rivet, who advised and mentored Kapoor throughout Rivet's development, said, "The swipe was one of the defining product innovations in online dating because it changed the fundamental way people discovered each other. For the first time since the swipe, the category has something genuinely new: human judgment and a real social community built on the foundation of state-of-the-art technology, working at scale. That is what turns a dating app into a dating network, and it is a powerful, category defining shift."

Rivet is free to download on iOS and Android.
