3Dear Quin Experts,
anyone who witnessed the dotcom boom knows that the highest returns throughout the IPOs were possible with venture capital firms.
Assuming that AI is about to experience a comparable boom, VC shares would certainly be there again.
My question: does anyone happen to know of any VC firms specializing in AI startups? Apart from the general store $SFTBY (-1,33%) I could not find any.
(Please respond to the question only!).

1st Lufthansa pilots strike
Lufthansa was recently able to settle the wage dispute with ground staff. Now there is again a reason for flight cancellations, because Lufthansa pilots are on strike. A whole 800 flights are cancelled and about 130,000 passengers do not arrive at their destinations. The pilots want 5.5% more pay and automatic inflation compensation from 2023. Lufthansa counters that it cannot bear the additional costs of around 900 million. However, the strike was apparently already priced into the share price.

Hello getquin,
Today we have again exciting topics for you from the search at J.P. Morgan in Frankfurt to layoffs and crazy market movements at Snapchat.
Europe🌍:
1. investigators search US major bank J.P. Morgan in Frankfurt
JP Morgan wants to cooperate. The background is the Cum-Ex scandal. There are said to be more than 20 defendants, including managers and employees from the compliance department. The term Cum-Ex stands for trading in large blocks of shares with (cum) and without (ex) dividends, which comes from Latin. Those involved had capital gains taxes refunded to them that they had not paid at all. JP Morgan is said to have been involved in classic cum-ex transactions and later also used corresponding models for tax evasion.

3rd top Softbank executive resigns
Rajeev Misra, a top SoftBank executive and a key ally of CEO Masayoshi Son, has stepped down from his roles as corporate officer and executive vice president of SoftBank Group. He remains CEO of SoftBank Investment Advisers, the company responsible for the $100 billion Vision Fund, which has made high-profile bets on companies such as Uber. SoftBank's investment strategy has come under fire after a series of bad investments such as WeWork, and the recent slide in tech stocks has hurt the fund's performance. SoftBank's Vision Fund posted a record loss of 3.5 trillion Japanese yen for the fiscal year ended March 31.
