- Nvidia Buys Into Doctolib and Genesis AI as Its Investment Book Tops $51 Billion
Nvidia (NVDA) announced planned investments in four French startups: Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment and Entalpic, with no investment amounts disclosed. Doctolib told Reuters Nvidia agreed to take a minority stake to develop AI tools, while Genesis AI confirmed Nvidia as a strategic investor. CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia will announce $2 billion in new European investments next week. Its long-term investments rose from $3.80 billion at the end of July 2025 to $51.16 billion a year later, an increase of about $47 billion that includes revaluations of existing holdings, equal to about 37% of that year's free cash flow. The article presents two readings: the bull case sees Nvidia seeding chip demand where AI adoption lags, while the bear case warns that falling startup valuations or funding pressure on computing spending could bring both investment losses and weaker chip demand.
- Circling like shark : Companies are buying up LA County $4 billion sex abuse settlement
Funding companies are contacting victims by phone and Facebook, offering lump sums now in exchange for the right to collect future installment payments from LA County's $4 billion sex abuse settlement. According to lead attorney Ray Boucher, more than 180 victims nationwide have sold their payouts to about a dozen companies, and some have given up a significant share. The discount rates cited range from 9% to 11%, and court filings show most sellers receive about 80% of the amount sold; one Gardena man agreed to sell $90,400 for $25,000, which the funder called a mistake, saying he would receive about 72%. California judges must approve such sales, and lawyers argue the contracts leave questions about attorney fees, which typically take about 40%, unanswered. Payouts for two law firms behind most of the claims have been paused pending probes, leaving thousands in limbo.

- Waymo Will Be “a Trillion Dollar Business. Easy” per VC Investor
Bessemer Venture Partners' Sameer Dholakia says Waymo could become a trillion-dollar business by expanding from ride-hailing into personal car ownership, trucking and logistics. The article notes Bessemer invested in Waymo's $16 billion February round, which valued the company at $126 billion. Waymo reached 500,000 paid rides a week in March, but Sacra estimates its annualized revenue at only $355 million in February, under 0.1% of Alphabet's $403 billion in 2025 revenue. Alphabet trades at 25.0x forward earnings, within its usual range, while Uber trades at 18.2x, a level analyst Walter Piecyk links to the threat from Waymo and Tesla's Robotaxi.
