SpaceX opened on public markets Friday at a two-point-one trillion dollar valuation, surged as much as thirty percent intraday, and closed up nineteen percent. That's the largest IPO debut on record, and it didn't just make history for one company.
The story that's been building all week in enterprise SaaS is NinjaOne. The Austin IT operations platform closed a four hundred million dollar Series C at a twelve-point-three billion dollar valuation, on the back of over seventy percent year-over-year revenue growth and a stated path to Q1 twenty-twenty-six profitability.
Two other large U.S. rounds closed in parallel. TensorWave, an AMD-aligned AI cloud provider based in Las Vegas, raised three hundred and fifty million in a Series B led by Magnetar Capital and AMD Ventures.
Europe had the week's largest single round. Neura Robotics in Germany closed up to one-point-four billion dollars in a Series C for AI robotics infrastructure.
Equal AI, an Indian AI call assistant, closed a thirty million dollar Series B co-led by Prosus Ventures and Tomales Bay Capital. The same investors led the Series A in November twenty-twenty-four, and their return is the cleaner data point.
One development to close the loop on regional capital. Saudi Arabia's SVC fund has backed Khwarizmi VC Fund Two, targeting seed-to-Series-A deals in fintech, e-commerce, and AI across the Gulf.
