Blue Origin's $130B ask

Four weeks after SpaceX became a public company, Blue Origin is reportedly raising outside capital for the first time since it was founded in 2000, at a reported $130 billion pre-money valuation. Meta began charging for its frontier model at roughly a quarter of what OpenAI and Anthropic advertise. Grubhub's parent is reportedly raising at $9 billion with an IPO ratchet attached.

OpenAI reportedly weighs 2027; $1T still the ask

OpenAI is reportedly leaning toward waiting until 2027 to list, with advisers pointing to recent tech-stock and SpaceX volatility — a timing question that keeps the most-wanted name in private hands longer. Capital kept moving toward "physical AI" and world models, with General Intuition's $320 million round and onsemi's $7 billion bid for Synaptics landing the same day. Underneath all of it, the memory layer tightened: Micron printed a record gross margin and Apple raised hardware prices, the AI buildout showing up on a consumer price tag. And SpaceX, the first Power 20 name with a public tape, gave back most of its post-IPO gains.

The fastest SaaS company ever just doubled again

Cursor's revenue doubled to $2B ARR in just three months — the kind of trajectory that rewrites venture math. Reflection AI is reportedly seeking $2B+ at a $20B valuation just five months after its last raise. Meanwhile, Musk is cleaning house: X and xAI plan to repay $17.5B in debt ahead of a potential SpaceX IPO. And MongoDB's 24% post-earnings plunge is the latest signal that even strong growth can't save you when forward guidance disappoints.
