Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX head for IPOs: how investors are betting on AI
The IPO market is coming back to life, and this time AI companies are leading it. FAANG is giving way to a new acronym, MANGOS: Meta/Microsoft, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI and SpaceX. Three of the six are going public at the same time. That makes this a stress test for investors: valuations are at their peak, there is only one pool of capital, and competition for it is at its most intense. *Meta is designated an extremist organization and banned in Russia.
