Ande brings corporate entertainment into a single platform and gives venues a direct channel to enterprise bookings.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ande, the AI-native network for corporate entertainment, emerges from stealth with more than $52 million in seed and Series A funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Duration Ventures, and Sierra Ventures, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures.

Enterprises spend an estimated $325 billion a year on entertainment from client dinners and team outings to catering, sporting events, and gifting. Yet the booking and expense management behind it is fragmented across credit cards, AP systems, and consumer apps creating an extremely manual reconciliation process for finance teams.

Ande brings structure to one of the last unmanaged categories of enterprise spend by giving teams a single platform to book entertainment effortlessly, while finance and legal teams keep full visibility and control over every dollar spent.

Ande's agentic workflows surface venue availability, book experiences, route approvals, execute contracts, and reconcile expenses automatically. Executive assistants, office managers, field marketers, GTM teams, and their managers all work together in a single, multiplayer workspace in order to book team offsites and deal-closing dinners, while the agents move each request through approval, signing, and payment.

More than 60 enterprises already run their entertainment on Ande, reporting savings of 12 to 15 percent. Customers like Cloudflare, Salesforce, McGraw Hill, Netskope, Navan, Sigma Computing, Monday.com, Workato, Semgrep, Checkout, Rillet, and many more contribute to over $400 million in entertainment spend flowing through the platform annually.

"Entertainment is one of the most important things a company does. It builds culture, closes deals and deepens the relationships that matter most. Yet the infrastructure to manage it is broken on both sides of every transaction," said Lohit Sarma, CEO and co-founder of Ande.

"Ande is the first enterprise channel between corporate buyers and the world's best entertainment vendors. Part of the reason this is such a hard problem to solve is that venues and entertainment providers don't have a centralized distribution system to plug into. We had to build it. We've spent two and half years working with venues to digitize their data, and train models and agents for these workflows that are unique to enterprises," continued Sarma.

For venues on the other side of the transaction, Ande is the corporate sales and marketing channel that never existed. Venues have historically had no pipeline into the corporate market. Ande gives them a platform to market to, engage with, and transact with corporate buyers at scale. Among the current partners are 1,600 hospitality venues including some of the largest and most decorated hospitality groups like Altamarea Group, Che Fico, Gracious Hospitality, JKS, The Mina Group, MML, Nobu, Riviera Dining Group, Tao Group Hospitality, Unapologetic Foods, Bacchus Management Group, Wish You Were Here, and Wolfgang Puck. Over 93,000 entertainment venues are on Ande's network today.

"Our programs are high stakes and high visibility, with our executive leadership team and key customers at the core of each event we host," said Vicky Chung, Director of Corporate Events at Netskope. "My team and I trust Ande's platform, and especially the team behind it. I have real-time visibility into what's happening across every event, and when I need something done right, I know it will be. My team is now focused on reaching the executives that matter and scaling the program vs. worrying about the logistics."

"Entertainment is every enterprise's biggest expense line that is not yet well managed. For that reason, there are financial inefficiencies and a poor experience," notes Arif Janmohamed, Venture Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and Co-Founder of Duration Ventures. "Ande is the connective tissue, the perfect handshake between corporations and venues. Lohit is an exceptional founder, and the size of the market opportunity is largely unbounded."

Redpoint Ventures Managing Director Alex Bard notes, "Particularly when we invest in an early-stage company, our confidence has everything to do with the founder and their ambition. Lohit has both startup DNA and the enterprise experience to solve this problem. His vision for Ande is bold and ambitious."

About Ande

Ande is the AI-native network for corporate entertainment. Over 60 enterprises, including Cloudflare, Salesforce, and McGraw Hill already book, manage, and measure every experience through Ande, moving more than $400 million a year through a network of 93,000 entertainment providers across 90+ cities. For the vendors on the other side of the transaction, Ande is the dedicated corporate channel that's never existed. Learn more at ande.ai.

Today, as one of the league's flagship franchises in the nation's largest media market, the Jets represent the sport on one of its biggest global stages.

The Jets enhance the fan experience through innovation and storytelling, including 1JD Entertainment, a digital content platform that connects fans across social and digital channels. The organization is also committed to community impact, supporting youth football, girls' and women's flag football, and programs serving disadvantaged communities throughout the tri-state area.

The Jets play at MetLife Stadium - one of the world's most successful multi use venues - and are headquartered at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, New Jersey.

Security and IT teams get visibility and control over MCP usage and agent tool calls, starting with Claude Code and Codex.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumos, the identity management platform for the agentic era, is releasing MCP Governance for Claude Code and Codex. MCP Governance checks an AI agent's permissions at the moment it acts, and blocks the action if policy does not allow it.

Enterprises are rolling out AI coworkers faster than they can govern them. An agent inherits the permissions of the person who launched it, and then works at machine speed. A single employee might delete one Salesforce record by mistake, but their agent can delete a thousand in seconds.

"We spent twenty years learning to govern humans, and we still have not finished," said Andrej Safundzic, CEO and co-founder of Lumos. "Now we have agents doing the same work ten times faster. Just here at Lumos, with fewer than 200 employees, we measured over 450,000 agent actions in a single week. That kind of scale is impossible to track with old methods."

The industry has answered this problem with inventory, but registering every agent only tells a security team that an agent exists. It does not tell them what that agent can reach, and it does not tell them what it did.

Lumos is taking a different position. Permissions set the upper bound of what an agent is allowed to do. What the agent actually does happens at runtime, and until now identity teams have had no way to govern that moment. MCP Governance moves the decision to the point of action.

"The teams I talk to are not trying to slow AI down. They are trying to say yes," said Safundzic. "One customer would not turn on an integration for their marketing team because too many people had access to the underlying tool. That decision cost them pipeline. Governance at the moment of action is how you turn that no into a yes."

"Identity has always governed what someone is allowed to do," said Leo Mehr, co-founder of Lumos. "It has never governed what they actually did, because humans move slowly enough that review after the fact was good enough. Agents changed that. By the time you review an agent's activity, it has already made a few thousand decisions. The only place left to govern is the moment before the action runs."

MCP Governance extends the work Lumos has already done on non-human identity. Lumos maps every identity and permission across human, machine, and AI identities. MCP Governance covers the other half of the problem, which is control over what those identities do.

MCP Governance is available today for teams running Claude Code and Codex, with support for more agents to follow.

Learn more about MCP Governance by scheduling a demo today.

About Lumos

Lumos is the first identity platform built around autonomous agents, not manual workflows. Security teams use Lumos to give every human, machine, and AI agent a living control layer that watches and governs access in real time. Traditional identity governance was built for human workflows and periodic reviews. AI makes the problem bigger, messier, and faster: more identities to protect, more permissions to govern, and less time to catch abuse. Lumos helps teams at companies like Mars, Netskope, Assurant, and GitLab move faster, reduce risk, and prove compliance, all while keeping humans in control.

WEST POINT, N.Y., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Historic Thayer Hotel at West Point is proud to celebrate its centennial, marking 100 years since the landmark hotel opened to the public in 1926 as a distinguished gathering place for United States Military Academy guests, cadet families, members of The Long Gray Line, dignitaries, and heads of state.

Located at the gateway to the U.S. Military Academy and overlooking the Hudson River in New York's Hudson River Valley, The Thayer Hotel has long stood as a symbol of tradition, service, and hospitality. Since its opening on June 3, 1926, where the hotel was hailed as a "dream come true" and "the greatest improvement in many, many years at West Point", the hotel has welcomed generations of guests and played host to moments connected to American military, civic, and cultural history. During World War II, nicknamed the "General's Hotel", figures like Eisenhower, MacArthur, and Patton used the hotel's secure, formal environment to discuss strategy and leadership. Later, in 1981, the 52 freed Americans held captive in Iran, spent three days at the Thayer for medical check-ups and emotional reunions. They dined in the restaurant and signed a copy of the menu that hangs in the hotel on the mezzanine level.

"As we celebrate this milestone, we honor the hotel's remarkable past while looking ahead," says Rick Minicozzi, the hotel's managing general partner. "We are about to complete a yearlong restoration of our guest rooms to further enhance our guest experience and our mission as the world's premier destination for leadership development and unforgettable social events."

The hotel's centennial year will highlight its role as a gathering place for the West Point community, and its continued commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Planned commemorative activities include opportunities for alumni, families, and visitors to share their memories of The Thayer Hotel, an interactive centennial website, an article in West Point Magazine, and other enhanced guest experiences, programming and culinary offerings. Interested parties are encouraged to visit https://www.thethayerhotel.com/centennial-celebration/ for the full centennial experience.

Originally constructed to accommodate U.S. Military Academy personnel and their guests, The Thayer Hotel succeeded the earlier West Point Hotel and was named for Sylvanus Thayer, West Point Class of 1808, known as the "Father of the Military Academy." Today, the hotel continues to serve as a premier destination for lodging, dining, weddings, conferences, and leadership-focused gatherings in the Hudson Valley. A robust Room Dedication program highlights the extraordinary civic and military achievements of West Point Graduates that have impacted American life.

Centennial events and offerings include:

- A New Year's Eve Gala highlighting menu items from the opening night in 1926. More details to follow.

- A specially priced Centennial Wedding Package available through June 3, 2027.

- Special Overnight Package that includes a 100th Anniversary commemorative Deneen Pottery mug.

- Various special menu items and drink specials that call back to notable moments in the Hotel's history.

Guests and community members are encouraged to visit https://www.thethayerhotel.com/centennial-celebration/ and follow The Historic Thayer Hotel on social media for updates.

By solution type, the all-in-one modular data center segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the global market. These modules integrate IT racks, power distribution, cooling systems, fire suppression, security, and monitoring within a single prefabricated enclosure, enabling faster commissioning and simplified site preparation. Demand for this format is increasing among enterprises, telecom operators, and government entities that require compact, self-contained infrastructure for rapid digital service rollout. All-in-one modules are particularly suitable for remote locations, industrial zones, and secondary cities where building large-scale facilities may not be practical. Their standardized design supports predictable performance in high-temperature environments while reducing dependency on extensive civil construction. As organizations prioritize shorter deployment cycles and phased expansion strategies, the all-in-one configuration is emerging as a preferred approach for distributed and edge-oriented digital infrastructure projects across the Kingdom.

Modular Data Center Market - Investment & funding + Merger & Acquisition

Investment and Funding Context

The global Modular Data Center Market is attracting strong investment as hyperscalers, cloud providers, colocation operators, and enterprises seek faster ways to expand capacity for AI, high-performance computing, and edge workloads. Investment is increasingly directed toward prefabricated power and cooling systems, integrated IT modules, high-density AI pods, and factory-based manufacturing capacity. JLL estimates that annual sales of modular systems and micro data centers could reach USD 48 billion by 2030, reflecting the industry's shift toward standardized, assembly-at-scale deployment.

Capital is also moving toward companies that can reduce deployment timelines and address power and cooling requirements for AI infrastructure. For example, EPG secured more than USD 100 million in Series B+ funding in March 2026 to expand its international manufacturing, R&D, and delivery capabilities. Eaton has also expanded its modular strategy through its Fibrebond acquisition and investment in Flexnode, while Vertiv acquired BMarko to strengthen structural fabrication and prefabricated infrastructure capacity.

Revenue Shift Context

The market is shifting from conventional, site-built data center infrastructure toward prefabricated, standardized, and repeatable modular architectures. AI workloads are accelerating this transition because operators require higher power density, advanced cooling, and shorter deployment cycles. Prefabricated modules can move power, cooling, and IT integration into controlled factory environments, reducing onsite work and improving deployment consistency. Industry estimates indicate that highly modular projects can significantly shorten construction schedules compared with conventional builds.

Revenue opportunities are consequently expanding beyond conventional IT modules toward integrated power modules, liquid-cooling systems, AI-ready compute pods, monitoring, and lifecycle services. The growing adoption of high-density AI infrastructure is particularly increasing demand for liquid-cooled modular designs and scalable power architectures. This is encouraging vendors to move toward integrated grid-to-chip solutions and standardized modules that can be deployed incrementally across hyperscale, enterprise, and edge environments.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers, acquisitions, and strategic investments are increasingly shaping the Modular Data Center Market as infrastructure providers seek to strengthen prefabrication, power, cooling, and AI-ready infrastructure capabilities. Recent activity is focused on expanding vertically integrated modular offerings and accelerating deployment capacity.
