One quick question to ask is like how wide SoftBank is exposed beyond one single name like OpenAI, given how ferocious the lab battle is right now.
Yeah, I'm glad the team got that up.
I mean, you know, far right column says everything.
Let's get to another story in the private markets that we've been trying to update you on regularly.
Anthropic is close to locking in a deal to raise more than $20 billion in a funding round co-led by investors, including Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, the East Shore, and Dragoneer.
That's according to Bloomberg sources.
One of the largest startup funding rounds ever.
And who's been across it?
Bloomberg's VC reporter.
Natasha Mascarenhas.
Important detail.
Actually, some of those names are interesting.
Dragoneer has come up a lot recently.
Waymo was something we reported a couple of weeks ago.
What do we need to know?
How close is this and who's leading?
Bloomberg's Natasha Mascarenhas, thank you very much.
