Big leadership hires often signal bigger ambitions.
@WHOOP has appointed former Nike CMO DJ van Hameren as Chief Marketing Officer as it continues its global expansion.
Looking forward to following the company's next chapter.
Most people meet a company at its IPO.
We've spent 15 years meeting them before the public debut.

Imagine buying Facebook before it was Facebook. Or OpenAI before it became a household name.
That's the premise Mark Klein discusses on the TipRanks podcast.
As companies stay private longer, investors are increasingly asking a different question:
If the IPO isn't the starting line anymore, where is the next generation of growth happening?
Watch the full conversation.

The story isn't whether there's enough capital.
It's why investors continue to show up for companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
Evan Schlossman discusses this shift on @SchwabNetwork.

It's not a coincidence that SpaceX went public while Anthropic and OpenAI have already filed confidentially.
As Mark Klein shared with The Epoch Times, the capital needs of today's leading AI companies are reaching a scale unlike anything we've seen before.
The next few years could reshape both the IPO market and how investors think about innovation at scale.

SpaceX's IPO may be the beginning of a much bigger story.
As Mark Klein shared with Reuters, what looked like an IPO parade may be turning into an IPO stampede.
The question now is who's next.
What if some of the biggest gains happen before a company ever goes public? As companies stay private longer, more value creation may be occurring before a traditional IPO.
On Fox Business, SuRo Capital CEO Mark Klein discusses how AI and evolving capital markets are changing where growth is being created and why investors are paying attention.
Congrats to TensorWave and the team on their $350M Series B at a $1.55B valuation to expand AMD-powered AI infrastructure.
SuRo Capital is excited to continue supporting TensorWave as part of this round as it scales high-performance compute for the next wave of AI.

A lot of the AI revolution has happened while companies like OpenAI have remained private.
This filing is a reminder of how much innovation and value creation can occur before a company ever reaches the public markets.
We'll be watching closely.
We recently submitted a confidential S-1. We expect it to leak so we’re just announcing it. We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it’s a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.
This announcement is being made pursuant to Rule 135 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offers, solicitations of offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Reuters reports OpenAI’s ChatGPT app crossed 1B global monthly active app users in May, the fastest app ever to reach that milestone, according to Sensor Tower.
For SuRo Capital, this reinforces our focus on category-defining companies shaping major tech shifts.
