1. Nebius: $2B from Nvidia
What: AI cloud infrastructure
Amount: $2B strategic investment
Lead: Nvidia
Nebius builds data centers optimized for AI training.
Why it matters:
Nvidia isn't just investing — they're locking down supply chain.
AI companies need chips. Chips need data centers. Nvidia wants to own both.
Your takeaway: AI infrastructure is a $100B+ market. Nvidia going vertical.
“The secondaries market is experiencing rapid growth, with transaction volumes expected to reach record highs, driven by a strong demand for liquidity amid slow traditional exit activity.”

The Pattern Nobody's Talking About
Look at the deals:
4 out of 5 = AI.
But ZERO are building new foundation models.
No new LLMs. No GPT competitors.
These are APPLICATION layer companies.
They're using existing AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) to solve real problems.
Translation:
Infrastructure is built. Now VCs fund companies that USE it.
This is where money gets made.
