Razer CEO: AI Mega‑IPOs 'Just the Start'
Razer CEO Min‑Liang Tan told CNBC at Singapore’s SuperAI convention that the recent wave of blockbuster AI-related IPOs is only the beginning, predicting second and third waves of public listings. His remarks came as SpaceX prepared a historic public debut targeting a $1.77 trillion valuation and after IPO filings from Anthropic and OpenAI. Razer said it has invested over $600 million in AI development, has launched AI hardware and software products (including Project Motoko, an AI headset unveiled at CES), and was taken private after delisting from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in April 2022 to focus on AI. The article situates Razer’s strategy within a broader surge of capital-market activity among major AI companies.
Blockbuster IPOs from major AI players (SpaceX/xAI, Anthropic, OpenAI) and industry commentary signal large capital flows and potential structural changes across AI, data access, and tech valuations—important for adtech and martech strategies.

AI Companies Race to IPO After SpaceX Debut
TechCrunch’s Equity podcast discussed how SpaceX’s record‑setting IPO — highlighted by the company’s AI ambitions and Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire — appears to be catalyzing a new wave of public market activity. OpenAI and Anthropic have confidentially filed to go public and may seek IPOs soon. Reporters on the episode noted a market ripple effect: startups and SPACs (for example, Quantum Space) are trying to ride SpaceX’s momentum, legacy automakers are re-purposing battery capacity toward data‑center energy needs, and public markets may shift capital from consumer/social companies toward AI labs and deeptech. Hosts warned the rush to public markets could stress test valuation expectations and corporate structures as several AI labs compete for finite investor capital.
Cerebras IPO Spurs Hype for SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic
Cerebras Systems staged a blockbuster IPO on May 14–16, 2026, with shares jumping roughly 70% on debut and lifting its market capitalization to about $95 billion. The strong reception has intensified investor focus on potential mega‑IPOs from SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic — each valued near or above $1 trillion — which could dominate the pipeline and crowd out smaller public offerings. Market participants and IPO advisors quoted in the piece said that while Cerebras is a high‑profile AI infrastructure success (it claims its Wafer Scale Engine 3 chips outperform GPUs), many pre‑IPO companies without a strong AI narrative may struggle to attract attention until the market digests the coming megacaps. SpaceX is reportedly expected to file an IPO prospectus imminently after its merger with xAI, and Cerebras has deals with OpenAI and Amazon Web Services.
Google, SpaceX Seek $160B as AI Spurs Market Moves
Alphabet/Google announced plans to raise about $85 billion of equity to fund an AI-driven data center buildout, while SpaceX is preparing a roughly $75 billion IPO at a reported $1.75 trillion valuation. The simultaneous large capital requests underscore heavy market demand for AI compute and infrastructure and have raised questions about whether public markets can absorb hundreds of billions in new supply from Google, SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic. The piece also notes related funding and product activity: Gigascale (founding partner Mike Schroepfer) launched a $250 million hardware-focused climate fund; Benchmark raised a $2 billion growth fund; and other industry items include data center construction delays, policy signals (a friendlier AI executive order), and new AI labs and hires across venture and tech firms.
