Shein finally went public — and the result is a masterclass in what happens when a company misses its window. A $100B valuation in 2022 compressed to $25B by listing day, a 75% haircut driven by geopolitical friction, labor scrutiny, and an investor appetite that had moved decisively toward AI. CEO Sky Xu lost roughly $15B in personal wealth in the process. That backdrop frames everything in today's briefing, starting with Airwallex's deliberate IPO delay and the question of whether patience is a strategy or a liability.
Andreessen Horowitz answered one part of the market's direction with conviction: its new Machine Age Fund raised $1.1B specifically for AI compute infrastructure, a clear signal that a16z believes models will commoditize while the physical and computational layer underneath them will not.
At the application layer, Clipto raised $15M at a $250M valuation — notable because the San Francisco startup is already profitable, with $15M ARR and 30 million users. The competitive risk from Adobe, Apple, and Google is real, but the numbers are hard to dismiss at this stage.
In Europe, Irish fleet AI company CameraMatics closed up to €49M for driver-fatigue detection across transport fleets, while French surgical AI startup Uncovr raised €6M backed by Index Ventures to convert operating-room footage into medical billing documentation. Both deals reflect a consistent European pattern: domain-specific AI with measurable regulatory stakes.
Finally, two quiet acquisitions — BitGo buying NYDIG's institutional trading arm, Vanguard acquiring wealthtech platform Altruist — point to strategic acquisition replacing venture exit as the primary liquidity path in fintech and crypto infrastructure.
