DeepSeek is the leading Chinese AI lab. And it’s closing a pre-IPO round. |
You can’t invest in DeepSeek. However, there’s still time to secure a stake in America’s leading AI labs including Anthropic and OpenAI. |
Simply go here asap. |
The transaction will raise $7.4 billion for the company at a $74 billion valuation, according to the South China Morning Post. It’s expected to close by the end of this month. |
DeepSeek could file IPO paperwork as early as year-end, targeting a 2027 debut. |
This is the private round that comes before the offering. If the IPO happens, it would likely price at a valuation above $74 billion — pre-IPO investors are buying now precisely because they expect the public market to pay a higher valuation next year. |
Here’s how to claim a stake in Anthropic and OpenAI before they go public. |
DeepSeek plans to list on Shanghai's STAR Market — China's version of the Nasdaq. Unless you have a mainland Chinese brokerage account, you won't be able to buy a single share. |
So why should American investors care? Two reasons. |
First, the investor list tells you this is a national project. China's state AI fund holds the only outside voting stake from the last round. New money reportedly includes CATL — the battery giant — plus semiconductor-linked private equity and state investment vehicles from Hefei. Beijing wants a homegrown AI champion on a Chinese exchange. |
Second, the valuation gap is the real story. |
DeepSeek's pre-IPO mark is $74 billion on annualized revenue in the neighborhood of $400 to $500 million, based on press reports. Call it roughly 150x sales. |
Compare that to the two American AI IPOs actually coming to a US exchange. |
Anthropic filed confidentially on June 1 after a private round at a $965 billion valuation — 13 times DeepSeek's pre-IPO mark — with revenue running near a $47 billion annualized pace. |
OpenAI, last valued around $852 billion in private markets, is running roughly $25 billion in annualized revenue and eyeing late 2026 or 2027. |
In my opinion, DeepSeek's listing is a sideshow for US investors. A $74 billion private mark for China's best AI lab is worth less than 10% of Anthropic or OpenAI. |
Frankly, Anthropic and OpenAI are the only major AI labs that are going public. And there’s still time for you to invest – ahead of the public filings. |
Don’t wait – you’ll want to go here now. |
