OpenAI investors approach company about new funding round

OpenAI has postponed its IPO to at least 2027 and is raising at least $30 billion in a pre-IPO round at a $1.4 trillion valuation, according to Bloomberg. This follows a record $122 billion raise at an $852 billion valuation in March, led by SoftBank, Amazon, and Nvidia, and a $7 billion secondary sale in August. Run-rate revenue reached $40 billion in August, a 70% increase since July, driven by AI coding. The capital is needed to expand data centers, with projected cumulative negative free cash flow of $278 billion by 2030. SoftBank, the largest investor, is notably exposed, having committed up to $30 billion and issuing $11.15 billion in bonds. Competitor Anthropic is also delaying its IPO, targeting a valuation over $2 trillion, amid concerns about autonomous AI incidents. The IPO market is weakening, affecting companies like Oura and SB Energy.

•OpenAI is raising at least $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation, according to Bloomberg.
•The funding is a pre-IPO bridge round, with IPO postponed to no earlier than 2027.
•OpenAI's annualized revenue exceeds $40 billion, up ~70% since July, driven by AI coding.

Databricks Valued at $188B After New Funding Round

Databricks announced a new financing round that values the company at $188 billion, a deal led by investor Coatue. The company did not disclose the exact amount it raised and says the funds are not yet in hand; other outlets have reported the round is roughly $3 billion and is expected to close later this summer. Databricks has pursued multiple large raises over the last 18 months while repositioning itself from a cloud data / analytics vendor into an enterprise AI provider, launching products such as Lakebase, Unity and Omnigent. Internal benchmarking at Databricks showed open models — notably Z.ai's GLM 5.2 — can handle high-difficulty coding tasks at lower total cost than proprietary models, and that the choice of agent harness materially affects cost and quality.

•Databricks announced a new funding round valuing the company at $188 billion.
•The funding round was led by Coatue.
•Databricks did not disclose the exact amount raised; other outlets have reported the raise is roughly $3 billion and the company said the money is not yet in its hands and the round will close later this summer.
