At minimum you should be thinking of Claude Code et al as an eager new grad who works 24/7 and needs a long backlog of tasks to be working though

Seeing a lot of imposter job applicants lately. They provide someone else's LinkedIn profile (who doesn't have a photo or looks similar) and then interview as that person.

Today we officially closed $1.8 billion in Series C financing and finalized our take-private of SP Plus Corporation (SP+) – this constitutes the third largest AI fundraise and the largest venture-backed M&A deal of the year. This transformational Growth Buyout has created a paradigm shift in how technology companies scale.

We’ve created a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deploy our proprietary, artificial intelligence technology to more than 50 million consumers, across 4,000+ locations, processing over $4 billion in payments a year. We are enabling checkout-free experiences with a speed, ease, and convenience that is unparalleled, even online.

Our Series C was comprised of a best-in-class syndicate, led by our longtime partner Eldridge Industries with significant investment from BDT & MSD Partners’ affiliated credit funds, Vista Credit Partners, and Temasek as well as strong support from Metropolis’ existing shareholder group led by 3L. Thank you to all our exceptional partners, investors and advisors who thought outside the box and believed in our vision, every step of the way --  including Tony Minella, Todd Boehly and Lisa Ohlmeyer at Eldridge, Anton Zeitsman and Dave Leyrer at 3L, Goldman Sachs and BDT & MSD Partners.

Today’s a day to celebrate. But we’re just getting started.
