Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX are bigger than the last 25 years of tech exits
What's happening
TechCrunch reports that three companies, Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX, are set to generate more value via big IPOs than all U.S. VC-backed exits since 2000. Coverage across outlets highlights that AI revenue and growth are surging, with GenAI companies estimated at about $110B in annual revenue and growth rates roughly 3x faster than prior waves like the internet and mobile. Observers note the AI ROI debate has returned and the potential economic consequences are much larger than before, while multiple AI startups are showing accelerating revenue growth.
Why it's trending
Because blockbuster AI and space exits (Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX) plus fresh numbers on GenAI revenue and 3x faster growth are reframing how big returns from this cycle could be.

If Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX together outsized 25 years of exits, congratulations to anyone who believed 'this time is different', but buckle up for distribution fights, not just sticker shock in valuations.

Recent estimates suggest GenAI companies are generating around $110B in annual revenue and the growth rate is reportedly around 3x faster than previous IT waves like the internet and mobile.
