This Week On The VC React Podcast: - CNBC and others reported on an OpenAI shareholder memo from chief revenue officer Denise Dresser. In it, she goes directly at Anthropic, saying Anthropic’s reported $30 billion annualized run rate is overstated by roughly $8 billion because of how it accounts for rev-share with Amazon and Google. She also says Microsoft has limited OpenAI’s enterprise reach, while Amazon and AWS are now the preferred path forward, with demand on AWS described as “frankly staggering.” The memo also frames Anthropic as fear-driven and operating on a smaller compute curve. - The Information reported that Uber’s CTO said the company had already maxed out its full-year 2026 AI budget by April, largely because of massive usage of AI coding tools, especially Anthropic’s Claude Code and Anysphere’s Cursor. - FWDstart reported that Golden Gate Ventures has backed Invisible Technologies, a U.S.-based AI infrastructure company valued at around $2 billion. Invisible says it has supported data and model work for more than 80% of the world’s leading foundation model labs, and counts Microsoft, AWS, and Cohere among its enterprise clients. The MENA angle is that the company is targeting growing GCC demand, especially as governments and enterprises push harder into AI adoption. - TechCrunch and Reuters reported that Amazon will acquire Globalstar for about $11.57 billion, paying $90 per share, to strengthen its low-Earth-orbit satellite strategy and build direct-to-device connectivity from 2028. Amazon has launched more than 240 satellites so far and is under pressure to scale its broader constellation, while Starlink remains the dominant player with over 10,000 satellites and millions of users. - Wamda reported that UAE-based Homegrown Ventures closed its debut fund at $22.8 million, above its $20 million target. The firm is focused on CPG and FMCG. The firm says it has already deployed into five portfolio companies and is targeting brands with roughly $2 million to $10 million in annual revenue. ---(أحمد طقاطقه)---

This Week On The VC React Podcast: - Anthropic said it’s not making Claude Mythos Preview generally available because of its cyber capabilities. In its own write-up, it said the model found severe vulnerabilities in major systems, could follow instructions to break out of a sandbox, sent an unexpected email to a researcher, and even posted exploit details publicly. Instead of a broad release, they’re limiting access through Project Glasswing with a small group of partners. - OpenAI announced that it acquired TBPN on April 2. In the post, it said TBPN brings strong editorial instincts, deep audience understanding, and an ability to convene influential voices across tech, business, and culture. - TechCrunch reported that Eclipse has a new $1.3 billion fund focused on what it calls physical AI. The firm said it’s investing across transportation, energy, infrastructure, compute, and defense. One of the more interesting parts is that Eclipse talked about building a web of portfolio companies that can work together as they scale - TechCrunch reported that Anthropic said Claude Code subscribers will need to pay extra for OpenClaw usage. Anthropic’s Boris Cherny said subscriptions weren’t built for the usage patterns of these third-party tools and that the policy would expand to more third-party harnesses. - FWDstart reported that Abu Dhabi’s Lunate acquired a passive minority stake in the management company of Insight Partners, citing reporting based on court filings and SEC documents. The important distinction is that this is described as equity in the management company, not just an LP commitment into a single fund. - FWDstart reported that Nubank is establishing a headquarters in ADGM, following a meeting between Sheikh Khaled and CEO David Vélez. The report says the ADGM base will be set up in collaboration with institutions including Wio Bank, which makes the move look more like a partnership-led entry than a pure standalone buildout. ---(أحمد طقاطقه)---

This Week On The VC React Podcast: - OpenAI Is Becoming Its Own Asset Class: OpenAI reportedly raised $122 billion overall, including $3 billion from retail investors. The round includes names like SoftBank, MGX, TPG, T. Rowe Price, Amazon, Nvidia, and Microsoft. The retail-investor access angle around this makes the whole thing feel even more like public-market behavior happening inside private markets. - AI Seed Is Starting to Look Expensive: TechCrunch is reporting that AI seed startups are now often raising around $10 million at roughly $40 million to $45 million post-money valuations. That is a very different seed market from what founders would have seen even a couple of years ago. - The Safety Lab Had an Ops Problem: Axios reported that Anthropic accidentally included an internal debugging file in a Claude Code release, exposing nearly 500,000 lines of source code and revealing unreleased features and roadmap details. Anthropic said no customer data or credentials were exposed. - Yupp Shut Down Anyway: TechCrunch reported that Yupp, the crowdsourced AI model-comparison startup, is shutting down less than a year after launch. The company had raised $33 million from high-profile investors including Chris Dixon. - Bezos Is Betting on Industrial AI: Jeff Bezos is in early talks to raise a $100 billion manufacturing fund focused on sectors like chipmaking, defense, aerospace, and automotive, and Gulf sovereign wealth funds are part of the pitch. - Whoop Is Bigger Than a Wearables Story: Whoop has raised $575 million at a $10.1 billion valuation, with QIA, Mubadala, and 2PointZero participating. The company said it was cash-flow positive in 2025, had reached a $1.1 billion bookings run rate, and now has more than 2.5 million members globally. - Tabby Just Made MENA Fintech More Real: FWDstart reported that Tabby’s SAMA-licensed Saudi financing subsidiary reported $55 million in net profit on $378 million in revenue for 2025 in its first independently audited annual statements. ---(أحمد طقاطقه)---

This Week On The VC React Podcast: - A $230M Seed Round, yes you heard that right, Seed round, and 230m dollars into an unlicensed, pre-launch Islamic digital bank called Mal. Is this a PR stunt, or are we getting comfortable with mega-rounds for a copy of a proven business model? - We have also discussed three new raises: 1. Governata raises $4M seed to build Saudi Arabia’s first Arabic-first, AI-ready data governance platform. 2. Madeed raises a $400K pre-seed round to detect a disease before symptoms appear. 3. eMushrif raises $7.5M to scale its smart school transport platform. ---(أحمد طقاطقه)---

This Week On The VC React Podcast: - We unpack noon’s $500M raise as it eyes an IPO. With a total of 3.2B dollars in funding, is this even a startup anymore, or a sovereign-backed platform built at scale from day one? - Then, we zoom into Algeria, where VOLZ just closed a record local-currency Series A, at which a Gov fund exits. We ask if this is too early of an exit for a gov fund, and ask about what that really says about startup readiness across Africa versus the GCC. ---(أحمد طقاطقه)---
