A hidden market for shares of the world's hottest private companies has quietly grown to an estimated $112 billion, and most of it happens off the books. As SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic edge toward going public, the investors who poured billions into pre-IPO shares may not actually know what they own. Larry Aschebrook founded G Squared in 2011, when trading secondaries made you a "bottom feeder" who got cease-and-desist letters. Today the firm manages north of $8 billion and holds stakes in SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Fortune's Allie Garfinkle sits down with Larry to talk about the shadow market behind the biggest names in tech, why layered SPVs could leave investors with nothing, and the reckoning he sees coming when these companies finally go public.

The AI arms race runs on electricity, and right now, America does not have enough of it. As global conflicts reshape energy supply chains and the grid strains under unprecedented demand, a new generation of founders is doing what Washington has struggled to: actually build. Zach Dell is hardening the grid after watching Texas go dark. Doug Bernauer left SpaceX to mass-produce nuclear microreactors. They discuss how energy independence is no longer just an infrastructure problem, but a national security imperative.
