IPOs are, of course, a bellwether of sorts for the health of the equity capital markets. The degree to which investors are willing to take risks on the first equity offering of a company has long been considered a litmus test of market sentiment. IPOs are also usually lucrative for bankers, with underwriting fees of as much as 7 per cent of the money raised, although these are negotiable and bigger deals usually get done for less.

Artificial intelligence is transforming cloud computing as we know it, as evidenced by Forbes’ latest Cloud 100 list of the sector’s best privately-held companies. This year, AI is everywhere: New No. 1 OpenAI and No. 2 Databricks are supplying tools to help companies build AI features. No. 3 Stripe, a fintech company, adopted the tech to combat fraud; No. 4 Canva embedded AI features into its design software; No. 7 Grammarly launched a writing assistant that uses AI to spit out paragraphs of text almost instantaneously. “The feeling I get talking to customers is everyone feels like this is a technology of transformation targeted specifically at their industry,” Dario Amodei, CEO of list newcomer No. 73 Anthropic, told Forbes. “Except, it’s targeted specifically at every industry.” Continued here You Might Like � � � � � � � � � 10 Things You Need to Do Before You Resign - The Cut    If you’re preparing to quit your job, you’re probably most focused on the resignation conversation itself — telling your boss and your team that you’re leaving. But before you take that step, here are ten things you should do first to ensure an easy transition. Some employers in certain fields will have employees leave the same day they resign rather than having them work through their notice period. You’re most likely to see this as a security measure, especially if you’re leaving for a competitor (something that has never made a lot of sense, since if you’re planning to steal trade secrets, presumably you could do it before you resigned). Less commonly, you might also see it if your manager is petty and takes resignations as a personal betrayal. (“Just leave today then!”) Either way, you don’t want to be blindsided if this happens, so it’s best to gather intel ahead of time, whether it’s from your employee handbook or by discreetly checking with trusted colleagues. One thing to find out: If your office does have resigning employees leave immediately, do they still pay you for a two-week notice period, even though you’re not coming in? Decent companies do that; less decent ones might not. Time your resignation accordingly (particularly if you can’t afford to go without pay for two weeks in between jobs). When you’re interviewing for jobs in the future, it could help to show samples of your work or even quote a particularly superlative performance evaluation. (And keep in mind that even if you already have your next job lined up, you might need these items the next time you’re searching.) Of course, make sure you’re not violating any workplace policies by doing this; check your employee manual and any confidentiality agreements you’ve signed. Continued here
