Motorola Announces $5-Billion Acquisition of Los Angeles-Based Silvus Technologies
Los Angeles-based Silvus Technologies, a developer and manufacturer of mobile communications datalinks that facilitate data transmission without the need for fixed infrastructure, will be sold by investment firm TJC LP to Motorola Solutions Inc. for $5 billion. The purchase price is comprised of $4.4 billion in cash and up to $600 million in earnout payments. It is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
'Silvus' commitment to mission-critical communication infrastructure is crucial in an increasingly complex global landscape,' said Erik Fagan, partner and head of industrial technology at TJC, in a statement. He noted that TJC acquired the company in 2019, and it grew from 70 employees to more than 350 employees since then.
Silvus was founded in 2004. Its technology is primarily used in government, unmanned systems (air, sea and ground), robotics, law enforcement, and other critical commercial and industrial applications.
Mayer Brown LLP served as legal counsel to TJC on the transaction, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisor.

Exclusive: Logistics safety startup Voxel raises $44M Series B
Logistics safety startup Voxel closed a $44 million Series B led by NewRoad Capital Partners, CEO Vernon O'Donnell tells Axios Pro exclusively. Why it matters: It gives San Franscisco-based Voxel three years of runway to reach breakeven or accelerate growth and raise again, its CEO says. How it works: The software integrates into existing security cameras, using AI to identify in real time — and increasingly predict — workplace hazards. Such scenarios include shelf integrity, forklift operation, employee movements or aisle spills that could present safety concerns. While worker safety is the core business case, the software's capabilities extend to productivity and efficiency, O'Donnell says. State of play: Nearly 3 million people die in workplace incidents each year globally, according to the International Labour Organization. Worker compensation, increased insurance premiums and a toll on morale stem from such incidents, hitting companies' annual bottom lines. Zoom in: Voxel counts 14 Fortune 500 customers, six of which have signed contracts in the last 120 days, the CEO says. One Fortune 50 customer changed the entire loading and unloading process for a more than 1 million-square-foot distribution center based on Voxel's recommendations, he says. Adopters across various sectors include Albertsons, Dick's Sporting Goods, Americold, AGI, the Port of Virginia and Berry Global. What they're saying: "We're seeing ... a hard ROI: reduction in worker's comp claims, reduction in OSHA fines, reduction in lost days," O'Donnell says. "Their speed of using AI to then be able to classify, 'is this an unsafe act or not?' and then alert leadership to take action — that's what really sold us," said Chris Sultemeier, NewRoad Capital Partners operating partner and former Walmart EVP of logistics. Friction point: Union workers have sometimes objected to video monitoring they consider invasive.

Inside Lavish Homes of AI Guru Lucy Guo, the 30-Year-Old Who Dethroned Taylor Swift as World's Youngest Self-Made Woman Billionaire
A 30-year-old tech mogul has stolen pop star Taylor Swift's title of youngest self-made female billionaire just two years after the singer claimed it—and nine years after co-founding an AI company that has just been valued at a staggering $25 billion. Lucy Guo of California was officially named as the new holder of the illustrious title by Forbes in its 10th Anniversary List of America's Richest Self-Made Women, in which her buzzy ascent to the upper echelons of tech industry success is revealed. Guo, who splits her time between Los Angeles—where her AI platform, Passes, is based—and Miami—where she purchased her first home in late 2021, first began drawing interest from the tech world in 2016 at the age of 21, when she co-founded the artificial intelligence company Scale AI alongside Alexandr Wang. Though Guo left the company in 2018 over a 'difference of opinion' with Wang, she retained the majority of her stake in the startup, a stake that is now worth a veritable fortune thanks to Scale AI's new valuation. Guo also made plenty of money since leaving the company, after launching her own company, Passes, in 2022, only to snap up a jaw-dropping $50 million from investors in the first two years alone. Her holding in Passes, combined with her 'other assets,' leave her with a net worth of $1.25 billion, according to Forbes. While the bulk of those assets are tied up in tech, Guo also boasts an impressive property portfolio that is worth more than $10 million, a figure that might not rival Swift's own $100 million real estate collection (yet), but certainly identifies the tech guru as a savvy investor. The California native holds the keys to two opulent properties, one in Los Angeles and one in Miami. Guo picked up the Miami abode in 2021 for $6.7 million. The condo sprawls across 4,727 square feet and comes with four bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The luxury building features a two-car garage, an indoor resort-style pool, a fitness center, a movie theater, a rooftop helipad, and views of the beach and Miami's skyline. The tower was designed by Zaha Hadid and left Guo in awe in 2021. At the time of purchase, she took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to gush: 'I am so *beyond* excited to close on my Miami home today … haven't had an address in years. What a work of art #zahahadid.' Three years later, she snapped up the keys to a stunning five-bedroom, six-bathroom modern farmhouse in Los Angeles. She purchased the property in 2024 for $4.2 million. The abode, which was built in 2018, sprawls across 4,643 square feet and comes with a two-car garage and a pool. It offers a number of cozy fireplaces, French doors, a bar, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with dual vanities and a soaking tub. Outside, there is a courtyard covered in lush greenery, a lounging space, and access to a rooftop deck. Guo is extremely proud of her growing property portfolio, having told Fortune in 2023, 'I have a swanky apartment in Miami and a house in L.A. which is five minutes away from my office.' When it comes to commuting to work, Guo opts for 'an electric skateboard' or is driven by her 'assistant.' And it comes as no surprise that she has risen to the top of the tech world because she works so hard, she tends to eat at her desk and only orders food from Uber Eats. Guo also confessed that she never takes a 'real vacation' due to how demanding her job is. 'I've never really had a real vacation. Even when I'm on vacation, I'm working at least eight hours per day,' she said. When she isn't working or lounging around one of her chic properties, she can be spotted getting her sweat on at Barry's Bootcamp, a workout class she attends twice a day. The remainder of her little free time is spent dancing at music festivals like Coachella, which she attended in April after spending two weeks learning how to DJ. In October, Guo celebrated turning 30—a milestone age she admitted she was 'scared of.' In a candid post shared on Instagram, she penned, 'I've always been so scared of this age. Immigrant Chinese culture instilled in me that I should have kids by 25 and if I weren't married by 30, I would be single forever. 'But every single year keeps getting better. I'm more confident, excited, and motivated than ever before. I have the best friends that anyone could ask for. I couldn't be more grateful for the amount of love I have in my life. 'And because Asians don't raisin, every year I'm getting richer AND hotter.' Forbes unveiled its 10th Anniversary List of America's Richest Self-Made Women on June 4, revealing the 100 women who have amassed an eye-watering fortune through their work in tech, entertainment, and manufacturing. The co-founder of ABC Supply, Diane Hendricks, garnered the No. a spot for the country's richest self-made millionaire for the eighth year in a row, with a net worth of $22.3 billion. Other notable names include , who boasts a $3.1 billion net worth and is 13th on the list, , who has a $1.7 billion net worth and comes in at 19th. Meanwhile, Swift—who previously held the youngest self-made billionaire role—is ranked 21st and has a net worth of $1.6 billion.

China's grueling ‘996' work culture is being debated by European startups — 7 founders and VCs on why they are resisting
The European startup scene was recently shaken by a LinkedIn debate with some venture capitalists applying pressure on founders to embrace a culture of overwork to compete on a global stage. The "996" work culture reigns supreme in China and has been adopted by various tech giants including Jack Ma's Alibaba and Bytedance's TikTok, but the system has also been the subject of much protest in recent years. Tech workers in Europe told CNBC in 2021 that they're turning down job offers, rejecting interviews, or even quitting their roles, upon learning of TikTok's 996 work culture. Sebastian Becker, general partner at Switzerland-based VC company Redalpine added to the debate on LinkedIn by addressing the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has called for removal of the legal work limit of eight hours per day in Germany in a bid to increase efficiency, while keeping the 40-hour week. Becker said Merz' proposal doesn't go far enough, as "40 hours a week won't cut it." "In Silicon Valley, 60-70 hour weeks aren't the exception — they even have a term for it: 996 — 9am to 9pm, six days a week... we can have the same amount of smart, ambitious people, but if we're consistently being outworked, we won't win," Becker said. Index Ventures Partner Martin Mignot in London explained on LinkedIn that 996 originated in China and has "quietly become the norm" at startups internationally. Part of the reason behind this most recent push is that there's a persistent view that Europe's tech and startup scene is lagging behind the U.S. and China, both of which have produced tech giants and are known for intense work cultures. However, Suranga Chandratillake, general partner at Balderton Capital, told CNBC Make It that these views are outdated as Europe has produced deca-corns in recent years— companies worth more than $10 billion including Klarna, Revolut, Wise, and The continent has yet to produce a trillion-dollar tech firm like Nvidia. "The European tech market and ecosystem is keeping up today with the U.S. and Asia... back in the 1980s the European tech scene was behind the tech scene on the West Coast of the US, but that's not the case now," Chandratillake said in an interview. The calls for Europe to adopt the 996 work culture sparked a wave of backlash. CNBC spoke with seven European startup founders and VCs on why they disagree. The obsession with China's 996 or Silicon Valley's 24/7 work culture emerges from a glorification of hustle culture in the startup landscape, founders and VCs said. "It's about a fetishization of overwork rather than smart work…it's a myth," Chandratillake said. "California is very good at telling stories and there's a lot of mythmaking around the concept of what startups look like…. there is hard work involved but if you really spend time in that ecosystem, you will discover that lots of people work really hard, but there are also periods where they don't work." Nina Mohanty, a Silicon Valley native and founder of London-based Bloom Money, said there are actually "lasting effects and unintended consequences" to adopting an aggressive overwork culture, "You only have to think about Revolut and the culture that they have is probably the closest that we've seen in Europe to the 996 culture, and they struggled," Mohanty told CNBC. "Their churn rate was incredibly high within their team, and they even struggled to get their banking license, and their culture was actually cited as one of those reasons." For its part, Revolut told CNBC it operates in a "high-growth, high-performance environment." "In line with this, we've evolved how we support our people: through value-based behaviours, structured development, and a culture that's collaborative, challenging, and built for scale," a spokesperson from Revolut said. Noa Khamallah, general partner at Don't Quit Ventures, pointed out that there's "no need for 996" and that these values are often at odds with both the European mindset and regulation. "Europe's most successful companies — from Spotify to SAP to ASML — didn't achieve dominance through overwork but through sustainable innovation cultures," Khamallah said. He offered the examples of Silicon Valley's Uber and Meta, both companies that expanded into Europe and faced massive regulatory pushback. "These examples reveal how Silicon Valley's 'move fast and break things' ethos often breaks against European values around worker rights, privacy, and sustainable business practices," Khamallah said. An always-on culture decreases retention and creates a revolving door of talent, Sarah Wernér, co-founder of Husmus, told CNBC. "Overwork today is a productivity crisis tomorrow," Wernér said. "Personally, I hope my competitors are doing 996. It makes poaching great people a lot easier when they decide they've had enough." Dama Sathianathan, a senior partner at Bethnal Green Ventures said it's unhelpful to "prescribe" working hours, especially if it means putting workers' wellbeing at risk. "Optimizing labor doesn't always lead to better productivity, or help with differentiating from other companies long-term, if you've made work devoid of meaning," Sathianathan explained. Meanwhile, the youngest generation at work are less likely to put up with overworking and tend to prioritize work-life balance. Jas Schembri-Stothart, founder of Luna, a health and wellness app for teen girls, said 996 will drive young talent away from European startups. "People may tolerate overwork for a while, but eventually it leads to churn and even resentment, especially with Gen Z and younger millennials, there's much less tolerance for toxic hustle cultures," Schembri-Stothart said. Founders insist that instead of increasing working hours, startups need more funding and resources to position themselves as key players in the global startup scene. "What Europe really needs isn't more hustle-porn it's more aggressive funding," Wernér said. "With the right level of capital, our startups can hire enough talent to work intensely without breaking themselves. If a team of 10 is burning out to keep up with a 50-person U.S. VC or Chinese government-backed startup, the problem isn't their stamina, it's their cap table." In fact, since 2015 Europe's tech startups have missed out on nearly $375 billion in growth-stage funding, with founders losing out on a potential $300 billion in European investments, according to Atomico's State of European Tech report published in 2024. Additionally, one in two companies raising funding turn to the U.S. for capital rather than Europe. "What European startups really need is access to the right resources — funding, talent, and support — to grow, innovate quickly, and scale effectively," Schembri-Stothart said. "The venture landscape in the U.S. is a different ballgame altogether, and it's tough to compete with that without a stronger ecosystem here. Founders acknowledged that the startup life requires intense hustle and grind, but it's a more nuanced picture than just adopting 996. Timothy Armoo, co-founder and former CEO of Fanbytes, an influencer marketing firm that he sold for eight figures in 2022, told CNBC that he's a "huge supporter" of this new 996 push, but admitted that timing is key. "I think there are seasons but I also think that if you are a first-time founder or if your primary goal is basically wealth creation, I'll be very candid, if this is your season, and you're stepping back, then you're not serious about it," he said. Armoo said there are no excuses because AI allows entrepreneurs to be maximally efficient as it can reduce certain time-consuming manual tasks. Meanwhile, Bloom Money's Mohanty, said that when she's not sleeping, she's working. "I think early stage teams tend to almost unknowingly or without actually saying it, work the 996 life, because when you are early stage, you just have to hustle harder with less, and especially if you're the founder, you're always on and always working, and it can be very, very difficult to turn off." Schembri-Stothart draws the line at exploiting her team to produce more work. "It's my choice to work at the weekend, but I'd never expect that on my team, it's definitely not glorified to push your teams to breaking point. Silicon Valley tech exec Dion McKenzie warned that expectations of a 996 culture could make VC funding even more out of reach for early-stage startups. "My fear is that as these new norms and trends become the status quo and benchmarks for getting funded, it excludes so many brilliant founders that value their mental health and/or can't commit to a 996 due to caregiving responsibilities or being a parent," Mckenzie said.
