Not directly VCX related but when Anthropic, OpenAI, Andurial, etc. complete large funding rounds, the venture funds that join VCX (e.g., Founders Fund, Sequoia, Thrive, etc.) in funding rounds continue to be well-positioned for future investments.

Taken from the article:

"The arms race

Founders Fund is one of at least four firms that raised mega-funds this year. Sequoia Capital closed roughly $7 billion in April under new leadership. Thrive Capital raised $10 billion. Andreessen Horowitz has raised $15 billion. In the first quarter of 2026, $297 billion flowed into startups globally, 2.5 times the total from the previous quarter and the most venture funding ever recorded in a three-month period. The capital is concentrating in a small number of firms, backing a small number of companies, nearly all of which are building or deploying artificial intelligence."
