Institutional capital is rewriting the rules of AI infrastructure funding. In today's briefing, we unpack Prometheus's $12 billion Series B — led not by a16z or Sequoia, but by JPMorgan and BlackRock — pushing the company to a $41 billion valuation. When the world's largest asset managers take co-lead positions at Series B, the story shifts from venture to long-horizon capital allocation. That has direct implications for founders, traditional VCs, and the competitive timeline every AI company thought it had.

Nearly 40 AI unicorns were minted in H1 2026, with a16z, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, and General Atlantic anchoring the majority of major deals. The concentration risk is real: a sentiment shift at any one of those firms doesn't stay contained.

On the IPO front, Bending Spoons — the Milan-based software consolidator behind Evernote, Vimeo, and AOL — debuted on the Nasdaq above a $25 billion market cap, more than double its last private valuation. SK Hynix filed for a $28 billion Nasdaq listing off 198% year-over-year revenue growth, underlining how high-bandwidth memory sits in the critical path of AI infrastructure.

In Europe, Mistral AI is targeting a $3.5 billion raise at a $23 billion valuation, with ARR surging from $20 million to $400 million. A new open-weight model is expected this summer.

Cybersecurity AI is the quieter breakout: Tenex.AI closed a $250 million Series B, Xbow hit $1.32 billion on a Series C, and Socket raised $60 million for supply chain defence.
