We need State sovereign wealth funds

[Brad Briner @brad_briner]

We invest in some of the most innovative and fastest growing companies. We secured a $250 million investment in Anthropic which has grown to an estimated $650 million value. Sophisticated investment management is paying off for NC’s taxpayers #ncpol

Always long $HOOD

[Vlad Tenev @vladtenev]

Robinhood Securities is now approved to serve as an underwriter.

Since IPO Access launched in 2021, we've watched retail go from an afterthought to a key part of how companies plan an IPO. The question changed from "why allocate to retail at all?" to "how big can the allocation be?"

Becoming an underwriter, and not just a selling group member, is the natural next step to better serve our customers and our issuers.

We intend to be disruptive in this space.

Two US aviators went down near the Strait of Hormuz. DoW used an autonomous @Saronic Corsair to find and bring them home - the 1st drone rescue at sea in military history.

This is why we build: to keep our troops safe. This was science fiction. American builders made it real 🇺🇸.

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

This was an absolutely massive win for @Saronic

And by extension the broader US Defense Tech Ecosystem

And also the American Warfighter

I’m not an investor in Saronic but believe in giving praise when it’s due

Bravo 👏

Run at it when responsibilities are the fewest and energy is the highest.

[nico laqua @nico_laqua]

The current corporate and political governance of America leads people to assume it has always been very old people in charge of everything, but that’s not the case. Napoleon was military dictator of France at 30, Alexander Hamilton was 21 in 1776, James Madison was 25, Octavian Augustus was in control of Rome in his early 20s, etc

SITUATION DETECTED: Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness is up 270% after fees this year and more than 1,000% since inception, per WSJ.

The fund now has $20B under management and counts Jane Street as an investor.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Institutions are inefficient.

Experts are overrated.

Capital should flow toward builders.

Technology compounds.

Independent thinking wins.

Big big big fan of Bending Spoons. Will be a major success of an IPO for AI, EU, Rollups, and more.

I still use Evernote 💚

[Seb Johnson @SebJohnsonUK]

Bending Spoons has just filed for a US IPO.

In the first 3 months of this year it recorded $600m of revenue and $27.5m of profit.

The Italian company is known for buying smaller, struggling tech companies and turning them into cash generating businesses.

It's acquired AOL, Vimeo, Hopin, WeTransfer and Evernote as well as others.

Last year it announced raising $270m at an $11bn valuation, a day after announcing $2.8bn in debt financing.

Today it filed to IPO in the US under the symbol BSP!

This is HUGE as it's one of the first European companies taking advantage of the open IPO window.

Who is next?

[sal 🇺🇸 @sal_javed]

They just want it more

@ThetaBlockers Happy Friday indeed!

Soooo what is gonna happen when the 3 largest IPOs in history all launch in the same quarter…? $200B+ of newly issued equity floods the market… who will buy? What will they sell to buy it? Something has to get displaced, no?
