Jeff Bezos' New AI Venture Prometheus Raises $12B, Valuation Reaches $41B

Jeff Bezos' new AI venture Prometheus has raised $12B in fresh funding, pushing its valuation to about $41B. Meanwhile, OpenAI confidentially filed for an IPO with the SEC, setting up a potential race with Anthropic as both companies seek massive new capital.This week's private company news:OpenAI announced that it will acquire Ona, "bringing its secure cloud execution and orchestration technology into our rapidly expanding Codex ecosystem." OpenAI said: "As Codex becomes more capable, its most valuable work is unfolding over hours or days, rather than minutes. We believe people should be able to delegate more ambitious work without remaining tied to the machine where it began. The work should continue beyond the initial session, with Codex making it possible to stay connected and check progress, provide direction, make decisions, and review results from anywhere. Ona will help us do that. Its technology provides secure, persistent environments where agents can access the tools, systems, and context they need to make progress over time."Sam Altman, CEO of Microsoft-backed OpenAI, and the Trump administration are in ongoing discussions over a possible government stake in the ChatGPT maker, CNBC's Ashley Capoot and Kate Rooney. The talks have been in progress for over a year, as Altman first shared the idea with the White House last year, the authors say, citing a source familiar with the matter. Such discussions continued this week as the CEO met with a number of lawmakers and officials in Washington, D.C. to go over regulation and the latest developments in AI, the authors note. As part of a potential pact, OpenAI could donate equity to the U.S. government to seed something in the vein of a "Public Wealth Fund" that the ChatGPT maker outlined in its April policy proposal, the authors say.Some of the biggest capital raises by private companies this week include:Prometheus- Jeff Bezos' newest AI venture has secured a massive $12B funding round.

Phreesia Maintains Fiscal 2027 Revenue Outlook at $510M to $520M

The company states: "We are maintaining our revenue outlook for fiscal 2027. We expect revenue to be in the range of $510 million to $520 million. As we noted last quarter, network solutions clients are committing lower spend levels for the second half of fiscal 2027 than we had anticipated last December. Certain clients are committing fewer dollars due to brand-specific dynamics including the impact of regulatory policies. Though we do not believe these developments are signaling a structural shift in demand for Phreesia's solutions, there is now more variability in our internal network solutions revenue forecasting, particularly in the second half of each fiscal year. Our visibility into revenue across the other parts of our business is generally consistent with our views in March 2026. The revenue range provided for fiscal 2027 assumes approximately $37 million of contribution from AccessOne and no additional revenue from potential future acquisitions completed between now and January 31, 2027. We are maintaining our Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal 2027. We expect Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $125 million to $135 million. In addition to our continued belief in the operating leverage embedded in our model, we have more recently identified opportunities to reduce our reliance on manual processes across Phreesia through the adoption of artificial intelligence. In May 2026, subsequent to quarter end, we implemented a restructuring plan intended to reduce operating expenses and better align our cost structure with our current business priorities. The plan is expected to result in meaningful annualized run-rate expense savings, which were reflected in our Adjusted EBITDA outlook provided on March 30, 2026. We are maintaining our expectation for AHSC growth in the mid-single-digit percent range, and we are maintaining our outlook for total revenue per AHSC to grow in the low-single-digit percent range, respectively, in fiscal 2027. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash generated in our normal operations will be sufficient to reach our fiscal 2027 outlook and meet our obligations. As of April 30, 2026 we had $84.2 million in borrowings outstanding under the New Capital One Credit Facility."
