What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeeking Alpha, citing the Wall Street Journal, says Nvidia-backed cloud firm Lambda is raising four billion dollars in a final round before its IPO.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us from an island with no extradition treaty is crypto founder Dirk Vandermoot, CEO of Soggy Ledger Labs. Dirk, welcome.
Dirk VandermootHank, great to be here. I can't say where I am, but there's a parrot, a hammock, and zero paperwork.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFour billion dollars before an IPO. Does that look like a healthy company to you, or a very expensive warm-up lap?
Dirk VandermootIt's a vibe, Hank. I once raised forty million dollars on a PowerPoint made entirely of emojis. Investors cried. Some of them were lawyers.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's not an answer. Is this a pre-IPO round, or a bunch of rich people clenching together?
Dirk VandermootFine, I'm jealous! My token was a picture of a sandwich and it still lost to this guy. I'm sweating through my hammock.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe'll have to leave it there. Nvidia is the stock tied to this story, and Dirk's sandwich token is not.
