Suki, an AI ambient scribe for healthcare providers, raised a $90M Series E led by Healthier Capital; a source says it projects $60M-$80M in revenue this year
THE SO WHAT
A $90M Series E on $60M–$80M projected revenue for an AI scribe shows payers and providers are now willing to fund workflow-specific AI where the ROI is legible — fewer clicks, more billable notes. If you’re selling into healthcare, generic copilots will struggle; tightly scoped, agentic workflows around documentation and coding are where budgets are clearing.

Startups & VentureSources: Bumble is in advanced talks to be taken private at a ~$1B valuation by Ithaca Holdings, founded recently by two Silicon Valley execs; BMBL jumps 45%+
A consumer marketplace like Bumble heading private around a ~$1B valuation is another example of public markets discounting slower-growth consumer apps while private capital bets on operational resets away from quarterly scrutiny. If you’re building in consumer, plan for a path where public listing is optional and late-stage private buyers are the more realistic exit.
Startups & VentureGetty enters a restructuring agreement to take the company private, with Getty family and Koch Equity committing to invest up to $533M to own 100% of Getty
A $533M take-private for Getty is a bet that licensing, not ad-driven UGC, still has room to be restructured away from quarterly scrutiny. If you rely on stock imagery at scale, expect pricing and rights models to evolve as a fully private Getty experiments more aggressively.
Startups & VentureIonQ to buy cybersecurity firm Elisity for up to $1.3bn in stock
A quantum computing company spending up to $1.3B on cybersecurity is a signal that "Q-Day" and AI-boosted attacks are being treated as a bundled threat surface. If you sell security or infra into regulated sectors, expect more buyers to ask how your roadmap handles both AI-era and post-quantum risk in one narrative.
Startups & VentureEnergy unicorn 1Komma5 raises €70m as IPO plans remain on ice
Late-stage climate infra is still getting primary capital even with IPO windows shut — public markets are no longer the only liquidity assumption for asset-heavy energy plays. If you’re building in energy or grid-adjacent, underwrite growth plans to extended private financing cycles, not a 24-month listing path.
