SpaceX stock dips in after-hours trading, despite revenue beating Wall Street expectations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches on July 30 at Cape Canaveral in Florida. SpaceX shares, which fell in recent weeks after popping about 20% in its June 12 IPO, dropped about 6% Tuesday after reporting its first quarterly earnings. For its venture capital investors, the slump presents a liquidity hiccup: SpaceX, in its IPO filings, imposed a tiered lockup on private-market investors selling shares. The first earnings release opens an initial window to sell up to 20% of restricted stock on Aug. 6
5 charts: VC-backed IPOs hit a record 2026, but the aftermath is dimmer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The venture-backed IPO market has roared back to life in 2026, headlined by SpaceX's record $1.77 trillion IPO, but the stock performance of newly public companies has been comparably muted. There have been 44 VC-backed IPOs in the US so far this year, according to new PitchBook data, on track to trounce 2025's total of 50. In addition to SpaceX—and the planned mega-IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI—companies including Cerebras, Quantinuum, X-Energy and HawkEye 360 raised significant proceeds, and de

Read excerpt
When Databricks closes its new funding round, its valuation will get a 40% bump since it last raised capital in February. And that's restrained growth compared with its AI industry peers. Rival Anthropic went from $380 billion to $965 billion over the same stretch, more than doubling in a single quarter. The headline-grabbing valuations reflect the deep pools of institutional capital continuing to flow to top AI startups—giving those companies dry powder for expansion and M&A as they lay the gro

Read excerpt
Featured image by Jenna O'Malley/Pitchbook CVCs are participating in a decade-low percentage of all venture deals as corporates grapple with how best to use their dollars in the new AI era. As corporate investors navigate ballooning AI bills, many are also focusing on larger and more impactful deals to transform their own businesses. Big-dollar investments into AI startups are getting done at the C-suite level, not through venture arms, said Nagraj Kashyap, general partner at VC firm Touring Cap
