The pressure's real.

Oh my, here comes another wave of IPO hype, this time it's AI. It's always the same trick—if funding gets tough, go public; otherwise, you'll be swallowed up. That's how capital plays.

How long can this round of funding frenzy last... Feels like another wave of cutting leeks.

Here we go again, the frantic buying and selling before the funding window closes. This time, AI startups are putting on a big show. I've seen too many of these tricks last year.

The financing window is closing, it seems we need to go public or be acquired quickly. The pace is indeed intense.
