In January 2015, Google and Fidelity wrote a combined $1 billion check for roughly 10% of SpaceX. The company was valued at $12 billion. Google’s portion: approximately $900 million for 7.4%. At the time, SpaceX had just successfully landed a Falcon 9 first stage for the first time. Starlink was a PowerPoint presentation. Revenue was a rounding error compared to today. Ten years later, SpaceX has become the most valuable private company on Earth. The valuation trajectory tells the story: 2015: $12 billion 2020: $36 billion 2021: $100 billion 2022: $127 billion 2023: $180 billion June 2024: $210 billion Late 2024: $350 billion 2026 IPO target: $1.5 trillion That $900 million investment from Google? At the $1.5 trillion IPO target, it would be worth approximately $111 billion. A 123x return. From one check. To put that in perspective: Adobe’s entire market cap is $144 billion. Google’s single 2015 investment in SpaceX would be worth more than 75% of one of the largest software companies on the planet. But here’s where it gets interesting. In Q1 2025, Alphabet reported $8 billion in unrealized gains from a “non-marketable equity security in a private company.” Bloomberg confirmed it was SpaceX. That $8 billion boost represented nearly 25% of Google’s entire net income for the quarter. One investment. One quarter. Almost a quarter of their earnings. And that was based on the $350 billion valuation from late 2024. If SpaceX hits the $1.5 trillion target, the paper gains from this single position could exceed $80 billion more. The financial return alone would justify calling this one of the greatest venture investments ever made. But the financial return is actually the boring part. Look at what SpaceX has become. Starlink went from zero subscribers in 2020 to 1 million in 2022 to 4.6 million by end of 2024 to 8 million by November 2025. They’re doubling annually. Revenue hit $7.7 billion in 2024, up from $1.4 billion in 2022. Projections for 2025: $11.8 billion. Starlink now represents 58% of SpaceX’s total revenue and the majority of its profits. SpaceX has reused a single Falcon 9 booster more than 20 times. They completed 134 Falcon-family launches in 2024. They’re on pace for 150+ in 2025. They now account for approximately 90% of the world’s payload mass delivered to orbit. Read that again. One company. Ninety percent of global payload mass. The reusability breakthrough is what made Starlink possible. You can’t launch 7,500+ satellites on expendable rockets. The math doesn’t work. But when you can reuse boosters 20 times and turn launches around in under 30 days, you can build an orbital internet constellation that would have been economically impossible for any other company on Earth. And then there’s the government money. SpaceX CEO Gwynne Shotwell said the company holds $22 billion in government contracts. Pentagon contracts alone total nearly $8 billion. The Space Force just awarded SpaceX $5.92 billion for satellite launches through 2029. The National Reconnaissance Office signed a classified $1.8 billion contract for Starshield, SpaceX’s militarized satellite network for intelligence and surveillance. The Pentagon plans to acquire more than 100 Starshield satellites for its future satcom architecture. SpaceX is now the dominant launch provider for the U.S. military, the U.S. intelligence community, and NASA. They have more government contracts than most defense contractors, but they’re valued like a tech company because they actually are one. Starlink isn’t just consumer internet anymore. It’s 75,000 vessels with maritime connectivity. 300 cruise ships. United, Air France, Hawaiian Airlines. Direct-to-cell service launching with T-Mobile. Military encrypted communications via Starshield. Ukraine’s battlefield connectivity runs on Starlink. This used to be a rocket company. Now it’s a telecom company that happens to own the rockets.

Logical Intelligence@logic_int·
We just tested Aleph prover on this version of Erdos #124 problem and were able to prove it in less that 2.5 hours and under $200 in cost: gist.github.com/winger/a2c27e4… x.com/vladtenev/stat…
Vlad Tenev@vladtenev

We are on the cusp of a profound change in the field of mathematics. Vibe proving is here. Aristotle from @HarmonicMath just proved Erdos Problem #124 in @leanprover, all by itself. This problem has been open for nearly 30 years since conjectured in the paper “Complete sequences of sets of integer powers” in the journal Acta Arithmetica. Boris Alexeev ran this problem using a beta version of Aristotle, recently updated to have stronger reasoning ability and a natural language interface. Mathematical superintelligence is getting closer by the minute, and I’m confident it will change and dramatically accelerate progress in mathematics and all dependent fields.

laurence (hikikomori variant)@functi0nZer0·
I want to take this opportunity to do two things: Firstly, to personally thank everyone - fund and angel alike - that participated in this round, as well as everyone that has participated previously. Your backing means the world, and it has - and will - allow us to follow through on our vision. We will transform onchain credit markets, together. More importantly though, I want to turn the spotlight onto my team at and around Wildcat Labs and celebrate *them*. I wrote an initial prototype of Wildcat, and am its widely known face, but it quite simply would not exist without those that either work with me or have provided assistance from the sidelines. First and foremost: @d1ll0nk - one of my best friends, my compatriot through good times and bad, and legitimate wizard at all things Solidity. It is a privilege to work with you, and I hope we're throwing schizophrenic coding patterns at auditors together for years to come. Next, @andfletcher1 - my right-hand man, majordomo, and moderating force. Andreas joined Wildcat Labs just over a year ago, and has kept it running like a machine ever since, with an organisational ability that could only have come from a German. @e_allenov and Anastasia, as our front-end engineer and designer respectively, have taken a non-trivial codebase and made it accessible to the world, often working on their own while the rest of us focused elsewhere. They are both diamonds. We've only just picked up @dotnet_enjoyer recently, but in between learning our codebase and dealing with me on Slack, has already proven an incredibly talented full stack developer. I will make you much, much worse. Similarly, @djrootvegetabl3 is a recent join, but has been merciless on the BD front for us, working constantly for integrations and making sure that we're in every room that we need to be as soon as we're able. Finally (within Labs), my thanks go to @EvgenyGaevoy for inserting the brainworm that led to Wildcat in the first place, and subsequently supporting, advising and making connections. Dillon and I are extremely lucky that we decided to reply to that Indexed Finance forum post of yours back in 2021. Outside of Labs, there are unironically too many to thank: @ShizzyAizawa for their incredible art (that has brought the Wildcat brand to life), @phonkdart for being one of our most steadfast allies (iykyk), @alpeh_v for shouting at us ruthlessly during preliminary audits, @jdebbag for keeping us on the straight and narrow early on, and more. If I thanked everyone by handle this post would look like War and Peace, so know that you are all on my mind today, and I will buy each and every one of you a drink in time. Today, I am extraordinarily grateful to you all. Tomorrow, I get back to work.

Wildcat Labs raised venture capital. US$3.5 million of it. We are extremely grateful to our lead @robotventures, as well as @triton_xyz, @0xPolygon, @hyperithm, @safefndn, @KronosResearch and Hermeneutic Investments. The round was also joined by a horde of angels, namely @joeysantoro, @Ja_Brann, @big_tech_sux, @nightelf, @cryptofelon, @SuperAggo, @bob_hlbok, @andyhyfi, @networkspirits, @0xKaonashi and @k3yser1. A quick thread on what this means for Labs, and Wildcat itself going forward:

I commend you @George_Osborne. It is true. London has lost it's edge in finance and is far behind in crypto, despite a deep pool of talent and capital. Time to speak out. Time to change things.
