Why not buy Opera? @AravSrinivas . 293M MAUs, $575M 2025E revenue with 24% EBITDA margin. You also get a pretty decent ad network (67% of revenue) and can leverage existing ad partnerships. Keep good bits of ARIA. Slightly messy given its a public company and majority owned by.
Scoop: Perplexity has been making headlines for improbable bids to buy Chrome and TikTok. in private, though, in pursuit of scale, it's been talking to The Browser Co, Brave and DuckDuckGo about actually acquiring a browser. w @srimuppidi and @nmasc_ .

One of the key potential beneficiaries of AI adoption in financial services are data providers such as FactSet, S&P Global, and Wolters Kluwer. These firms have built vast repositories of verified, high-quality financial information and are widely regarded as authoritative.

Well said.
(i know some of the people involved on this eval and i mean no offense to them! it's hard to make something, it's easy to tear down something). Okay here we go, SWEBench sucks and if you actually read the data, you'd index on it like 100x less.

Windsurf (RemainCo) should ape the $100m into crypto and IPO via a SPAC Merger. Nothing to loose for the remaining employees with a small chance this ends up become a meme stock and they make some $$$.

Wells Fargo among others invested $60m at $350m valuation in 2021. Wonder if they effectively break even at this mark. Big winner is Left Lane, which led a $150m round at $1.5m round in 2022. Kudos to the team.
Bilt raised $250M at a $10.75B valuation. Led by GC and GID (real estate). They did $200M in revs last year, > $400M now, and expect to hit a $1B run rate by Q1 2026. 🚨They are exiting the Wells deal Feb 2026 and launching new cards powered by fintech company Cardless. with 3
