Oura's $2.2B IPO is a major payday for three VCs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Oura fights to go public, some of its earliest investors are exiting the ring entirely. The smart ring maker plans to sell 50 million shares at between $40 to $44 on the Nasdaq, raising as much as $2.2 billion. But with 73% of those shares being offered by existing shareholders—just three investors, to be exact—the IPO will be a bigger payday for the company's backers than the ring maker itself. Most of the IPO proceeds will go to Forerunner Ventures, the company's second-largest shareholder.
Bain Capital Ventures’ new $1.6 billion fund is all about selling work, not software (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bain Capital Ventures closed its 11th flagship fund at $1.6 billion on Wednesday, betting big on a "post-AGI world" that places AI agents as the chief economic driver of productivity. The firm has been swapping software for something venture capital has never underwritten: AI-native companies that sell the work itself rather than the technology behind it. Software startups made up 80% of Fund IX and around 20% of Fund X, said partner Matt Harris. For Fund X, AI-native startups made up 80% of the
The math behind Databricks' $190B price doesn't add up—yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Databricks has built one of the strongest private software companies in the world, but its $190 billion price tag is a bit steep, argues a new PitchBook report. "Databricks is a high-quality business but an unattractive investment at the current price," said Harrison Rolfes, the report's author and senior analyst covering late-stage companies. In August, Databricks raised $5 billion at a $190 billion valuation, led by Coatue, up 41.8% from the company's last valuation of $134 billion, priced in

VC investment in quantum computing notched a record $2 billion in Q2 across 23 deals, accounting for a third of dollars in the chips and datacenters vertical, according to a new PitchBook report. Quantum's marquee event this quarter was Quantinuum's IPO, which accounted for most of the $19 billion in quantum exit value and was the first major test of the technology in public markets. On the VC side, Oxford Quantum Circuits raised a £260 million Series C led by Bullhound Capital. Strategics are e
To become the Apple Watch of pet collars, Fi is keeping VC in the doghouse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jonathan Bensamoun's startup Fi is a rare breed in the VC landscape. The smart pet collar startup is approaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue and, despite not raising capital for the past five years, doesn't plan to do so anytime soon. "If you can do it without, why wouldn't you?" Bensamoun said of just fundraising for the sake of it. The issue is not whether he can, but the cost that capital comes at. "I think it's a trap, I think you de-rich yourself and your investors … when you f
