We continue our look at the defining trends in corporate venturing this year, including sports and online gaming, new media consolidation and funding for online education providers.

Amazon has led a $22.5m series B round for Housejoy that included Qualcomm, and which followed $4m of series A funding in June.

The fund created by Axiata and government-owned fund Mavcap, has already committed a total of $3m and expects to provide follow-on funding.

Business-to-business logistics startup BlackBuck previously secured series A funding in a Flipkart-backed series A round in July.

The insurance group will allocate the funding to internet of things, data and analytics, sharing economy and customer experience startups over the next five years.

The online language learning platform has closed a series C round featuring Bertelsmann Asia Investments, eight months after a $29m series B.
