Equity Monday: Hey look, OpenAI is even richer now

9 minutes

Alex is back on the mic for your Monday rundown and digging into OpenAI, earnings, First Republic Bank, and ARM. Oh, and startups as well!

It's another big earnings week, and we're excited to see how Uber, Coinbase, Apple and Hubspot have performed!

First Republic Bank is no more. It wasn't shocking to see JPMorgan swooping it up, but we are once again seeing a small bank shutting shop and a big bank getting bigger. Not good!

OpenAI is now even richer thanks to a $300 million investment from venture capitalists. It's amazing that the company sold just 1.1% of its equity for nine figures.

And Alison raised capital just as AMD filed privately to go public. It's a busy start to the week!

Hugs, and we'll be back Wednesday and Friday.
