Trace's Take
Databricks is the most IPO-ready name on the AI list precisely because it isn't a foundation-model bet — it's picks-and-shovels with real revenue and >80% growth. But 'ready' and 'willing' are different things: Ghodsi keeps choosing a $5B private round over a public listing, which tells you the private market is still pricing Databricks more generously — and with fewer strings — than public investors would. If it eventually prices well, it becomes the template public-market investors use to sanity-check every private AI mark above it.
