European Fintech Leader on US Listing Valuation for Sifted

Last week, news dropped that [url=https://email.sifted.eu/e3t/Ctc/LZ+113/d2mfCN04/VVPyY76wJh00W18FHsl4N4fZ4W8BHpjy5JPV2GM7WCRq3qgz0W7lCdLW6lZ3kNN858x1hllzRXW8S7Bln6CtfDJW4Cbydx54nL70N7PD29SmTCvPW4nfzdr5ZMpnnW8bbhWN8jfMK0W34rW7H43Lz5LN4jQb08-F1tfW34WVhd95dq_LW1StyZR2l3JkKW6t9KJz3gyHD-VnnY-s31hB9rW557LPf8x1BtVW6WH9t782_TN1W9gpjlV5vkwhfW3nPDqN41Xd9QW2QR8SK5HYQVtW7FqDfq2YXJH5W4KpNwp3H4dPkW5shLLB1yPT99W5QK72H4p39-ZW882JwF1xpWCJW4_w0ct3XVftRW6wjvsk8_t0j2f6rl4P-04]Paris-based Ledger was prepping for an IPO[/url] in the US that could value the crypto walletmaker at more than $4bn. If the listing goes ahead, it would be one of the first VC-backed European crypto companies to IPO. The $4bn price tag is far more conservative than the valuations secured by US-based crypto scaleups at IPO in recent months. This has got me thinking about whether Ledger’s origin as a European company has been a problem. When Klarna was planning an IPO, some analysts told me its more conservative price tag was due to being thought of as a non-US company. Like Klarna, Ledger is one of the rare European fintechs that has seen traction in the US, selling devices at BestBuy and growing its US team. What do you think, reader? Do European companies face valuation headwinds when opting to list abroad in the US? Or are US stock exchanges the most appropriate listing venue for European scaleups hoping to fetch billion dollar valuations? [url=mailto:[email redacted]]Let me know over email.[/url]

VCs & AI Experts for Sifted Story on AMI Labs Impact in Europe

One company has been dominating conversations, WhatsApp exchanges and hot takes on LinkedIn for the past month: AMI Labs. The startup, recently launched by Meta’s former chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, is causing near-unprecedented levels of excitement, both in French tech and abroad. There’s not an investor I’ve spoken to who doesn’t have a view on LeCun’s pitch to build “world models”, a type of AI that can understand the physical world instead of merely generating text like large-language models (LLMs). LeCun initially set out to raise €500m for his new project; last week my colleague Anne Sraders and I reported [url=https://email.sifted.eu/e3t/Ctc/LZ+113/d2mfCN04/VVJrm93qlmBFW85lld22-NG5yW8hW1h35JMKF6N5r_RRT3qgz0W8wLKSR6lZ3lbN5r967_h3vTsN8w_5SryBt42W2lqVH86j2RfhW3t0nZx72-mWSW6fZhVw8dWRtlV97SFF3sW7X4W1kCpbz8CBzhSW8gNKKt303pw5VgmVl-1GTrm4N215W7P5MsNnMc6Z4LDDdFdW6g6PHx36GYhnW1H6FhL7dFWCmN6bWPJr9QnTfW1nKgWs5Pyq93W5F1JFy8GptG5W6RGhZW7fRvNfW9bc7ZF547lTCW5QS3Mb4WMW_PW9hpVLw3GM7XvW1tmtt81VbwDGW6-zzrR10BC7jW7kxHs13bvpddW1Zq89W12HBPVW7DQlvl98ZgTLVnZR0y7K3CqXN22vNdC67P0yW608_mv2WsPR3f2dTbWM04]he’s attracted at least $1.5bn in investor interest, and is likely to close a bigger round than planned[/url]. Sources also told us chip titan Nvidia and Singapore-based investor Temasek are in talks to back the company. AMI Labs will have a base in Paris, and VCs are piling in to be part of the fun. “Every single investor in Paris is overexcited and wants to be a part of it,” one investor tells me, “even for small tickets that’ll give insignificant weight in the cap table and governance.” I’m curious to know what might happen next: how will LeCun’s bet to build a world-leading AI company focusing on a new type of AI model affect Europe’s tech sector?

AI Experts on Yann LeCun AMI Labs World Model Startup - Sifted

A leaked pitch deck has shed more light on former Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun's new startup. LeCun's venture, AMI Labs, is betting on so-called “world models”: AI systems designed to understand and reason about the physical world, rather than just generate text. According to a deck [url=https://email.sifted.eu/e3t/Ctc/LZ+113/d2mfCN04/VW_nRt4yTl7BW4B--_55nVNk4W8SvcRS5JgvgdN3wqV7M3qgz0W7Y8-PT6lZ3nXW27-p_Y6Wlz-1W3LMyZv6ZH7KHW3sHr1J1NnldqW8vbYKm2Y9ldkN3yPKf-Z35S-W5TpvGT6Q09dHW6j-PGl5-PzhSW2wbyDt5D1kBVW8gY_NS8YBLxtW3d75Qf3px46yW69-MhR56pl8qW1kZwQQ51KYwQVLglDG2_mVlRW3PgPHT939Gx1W1dLxxw8L8WyLW4pRSnQ38dd91W25Ms_T2St2_CW5qbnDB15KLP5W8jmGPn3_sf31N21zl3GzZrZzW1kcsRs650ZqsVk__fw2VvzTXW6NpCP_2kDDD7VrpbF-454cD9W2ppGF83H4926W279QCg81x5PRf9bBG6M04]seen by Sifted,[/url] AMI wants to build what it calls “the first foundational world model for business”, targeting applications from AI-powered wearables to robotics and manufacturing tools. The company, which launched late last year after LeCun left Meta, is reportedly raising €500m at a €3bn valuation; it’s already been poaching talent from Meta and Google DeepMind, as Sifted reported on Monday. AMI plans to run research out of Paris, with hubs in Singapore, Montreal and New York, while partnering with other companies to gather real-world video data to train its flagship model, “AMI Video”. LeCun is betting the house that world models will be able to take AI to the next level, ditching large language models (LLMs) in the process. As a world-leading expert in the field, he may have a point. What do you think?
