Fluidstack eyes $18B valuation in new $1B funding round

Fluidstack, the AI data center startup spun out of Oxford University, is reportedly in talks to raise one billion dollars at a valuation of eighteen billion dollars, according to Bloomberg. The round is said to be potentially co-led by Jane Street and Situational Awareness, the AGI-focused investment fund started by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, with Morgan Stanley advising on the transaction.

How the wrong first investor can make your series A harder than it needs to be

The first investor in your startup is not just a source of capital. They are a signal to everyone who comes after them. When a founder closes their first check, they often think the hard part is over. In reality, they have just made one of the most consequential decisions of their fundraising journey, because every investor who looks at the company from that point forward will look at who came in first and draw conclusions from it.
