Valor handed its LPs $8.5B of SpaceX stock

Valor Equity Partners distributed about $8.5 billion of SpaceX stock to its limited partners this week rather than selling it. The same firm co-led Crusoe's $3.9 billion Series F, tripling its valuation to $30.9 billion.

Cursor's revenue doubled to $2B ARR in just three months — the kind of trajectory that rewrites venture math. Reflection AI is reportedly seeking $2B+ at a $20B valuation just five months after its last raise. Meanwhile, Musk is cleaning house: X and xAI plan to repay $17.5B in debt ahead of a potential SpaceX IPO. And MongoDB's 24% post-earnings plunge is the latest signal that even strong growth can't save you when forward guidance disappoints.
