Index Ventures and Haun Ventures are among firms that are cashing in after Stripe agreed to buy Bridge Network this week for $1.1 billion, a 200% increase in valuation since August. Chris Ahn, now a partner at Haun, was previously at Index, where he led the deal. “Nobody else had flown out to see them in person,” Ahn told CNBC, recounting a 2022 trip he made to visit the founders in northern Montana. . . . #VentureCapital #StripeAcquisition #TechDeals #StartupSuccess #InvestmentWins #BillionDollarDeal #BridgeNetwork #VCWins #Entrepreneurship #FintechNews #Dealmakers #TechValuation #ChrisAhn #HaunVentures #IndexVentures #MontanaFounders #TechGrowth #AcquisitionNews #StartupJourney #InvestorInsight #TechInvestment #BusinessExpansion #MergersAndAcquisitions #FintechFuture #InvestmentSuccess #VCNews

Robinhood launched margin trading in the U.K. Monday, allowing users to leverage their existing asset holdings as collateral to purchase additional securities. Margin trading where traders invest using borrowed cash to increase the size of their trades, is a risky investment strategy. Robinhood’s U.K. boss Jordan Sinclair said the firm had to get the local regulator “comfortable” with its approach to get the green light on launching margin in the country. . . . #robinhood #margintrading #ukfinance #investmentstrategy #leveragetrading #stockmarket #tradingrisks #financialnews #investments #robinhooduk #financialregulation #tradingsuccess #marketnews #investwisely #traderisk #tradingplatform #investmentopportunities #tradingstrategy #financialgrowth #uktrading

Tesla faces a “Full Self-Driving” safety probe from the U.S. federal automotive safety regulator, NHTSA. The probe will evaluate whether Tesla’s FSD systems are safe to use in fog, glaring sun and other reduced roadway visibility conditions. The probe follows a series of Tesla collisions where FSD was in use within 30 seconds of the crash -- one where a Tesla driver fatally struck a pedestrian. . . #tesla #fullselfdriving #fsd #safetyprobe #nhtsa #autonomousdriving #roadwaysafety #automotivenews #teslacollisions #selfdrivingcars #teslanews #carsafety #autonomoustech #technews #usregulations #visibilityconditions #drivingsafety #autotech #trafficregulations #safetyfirst

Netherlands-based chip equipment maker ASML said Tuesday that it expects net sales for 2025 to come in at the lower half of a range it had provided previously. Roger Dassen, ASML’s chief financial officer, said on a call with analysts Wednesday that the company expects China sales to drop next year, citing U.S. export restrictions as one of the reasons. ASML’s China-based customers had stockpiled less advanced ASML machines to get ahead of the U.S. exports — now, demand in the country is expected to dry up significantly. . . #asml #chipmaker #semiconductors #usrestrictions #china #technews #exports #salesforecast #chipindustry #technology #markettrends #globaltrade #financialforecast #techsector #supplychain #innovation #chipequipment #businessnews #stockmarket #exportcontrol #techrestrictions

Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski told CNBC that unfavorable share-based compensation rules in Europe could lead to Klarna losing talent to tech giants in the U.S. such as Google, Apple and Meta. In a wide-ranging interview, he said that the lack of attractiveness of Europe for tech talent is the “number one risk” facing the company as it prepares for a much-anticipated IPO. The Swedish fintech firm offers only a fifth of the equity as a share of revenue compared to a basket of its peers, according to a Klarna-commissioned study obtained by CNBC. #Klarna #fintech #IPO #SebastianSiemiatkowski #techtalent #Europe #sharecompensation #businessrisk #innovation #trending #techindustry #startupchallenges
