AI Stocks Sell Off Post-Election as Investors Reassess Data Center and Spending Outlook Technology shares fell sharply following the election as investors weighed growing political resistance to data center construction, the sustainability of AI capital spending and the prospects for Anthropic's IPO, according to Bloomberg. Speaking on Bloomberg This Weekend, Yorkville Ives & Co. partner Dan Ives and Bloomberg US equities reporter Natalia Kniazhevich told hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini that the election outcome could slow the pace of the AI buildout and reshape which companies emerge as winners and losers across the sector. Ives maintained that the long-term AI investment cycle remains intact despite the near-term selloff. Key takeaway: Political headwinds against data center expansion are now a pricing factor in the AI trade, meaning founders and investors should expect greater scrutiny of capex-heavy strategies and a more selective market for AI-related public offerings.

General Catalyst Leads US Startup Investors in Active October General Catalyst ranked as the most active lead investor in U.S. startup funding during October, according to Crunchbase News, capping a busy month for domestic venture dealmaking. The firm topped rankings compiled across three categories: number of deals led, size of largest lead investments and total venture rounds participated in. Crunchbase attributed the month's elevated activity to well-known venture firms showing a strong appetite for large deals. Key takeaway: With established firms like General Catalyst concentrating capital in bigger rounds, founders should expect late-stage and growth deals to continue absorbing a disproportionate share of available venture dollars.

FluoRok Raises €26.64 Million Series A to Scale HF-Free Fluorochemical Production Oxford-based chemical manufacturing startup FluoRok has closed a €26.64 million ($30 million) Series A round to scale its patented process for producing fluorochemicals without hydrogen fluoride (HF), a highly hazardous input used in conventional manufacturing. The round was led by Orano Ventures Fund/Supernova Invest, with participation from Bidra Innovation Ventures. Existing backers including Oxford Science Enterprises and BGF also took part. Key takeaway: Fluorochemicals underpin pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and battery materials, and a process that removes HF from the supply chain could lower safety, regulatory, and infrastructure costs for manufacturers while attracting industrial investors seeking cleaner chemical production routes.

JawBuddy Raises €818K Pre-Seed to Tackle Jaw Pain and Bruxism Leipzig-based HealthTech startup JawBuddy has closed a €818K pre-Seed round led by healthcare platform HALBZEIT. The company develops solutions to help people reduce jaw pain, bruxism (teeth grinding), and TMJ-related tension. The round also drew backing from two clinical specialists: Dr. Siegfried Marquardt, who focuses on aesthetic and functional dentistry and implantology, and oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Guido Sigron, with Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft also participating. Key takeaway: The combination of a healthcare platform lead and practising dental and maxillofacial specialists as backers signals that JawBuddy is positioning itself close to clinical channels rather than as a pure consumer wellness play, a route that may support credibility and distribution in a condition category that remains underserved by digital tools.

in#Founder-to-Founder: Been There

“Are you building a church or a religion?” A VC asked us this once during the last call towards him investing in our company. In the moment I was super-happy to have my cofounder think on her feet and answer it. The question, though stuck with me. The idea is pretty simple: A church builds on something people already understand and want. You’re making it better, cheaper, faster, etc. A religion is something fundamentally different. You’re asking people to change how they think or behave, or convincing them that something they take for granted shouldn’t work that way. Religion can have a much bigger impact, and therefore also a market potential, but it’s also much harder to get it going. You have to create the belief before you can "convert" the market. I think it’s a useful question for any founder: And I found that answer can actually change. Something you thought was obvious can turn out to be completely non-obvious once you start talking to customers. I found it worth keeping in mind as a concept and internal question when building something new.

Where bold ideas meet smart capital. Great companies don’t start with capital alone. They start with a bold idea, a clear vision, and the ambition to build something that matters. But turning that vision into reality requires more than funding. It requires the right partners, the right expertise, and the conviction to think beyond the next milestone. That’s where bold ideas meet smart capital. Because the right capital doesn’t just finance growth. It accelerates it. It challenges it. It helps turn ambition into lasting impact. Big ideas deserve more than money. They deserve capital that thinks with them.
