OpenIPO

PRESENTED BY LEVANTA

Happy Tuesday, Future Party. We may have already reached peak microdrama: the Kansas City Chiefs have released a vertical telenovela. Titled El Offseason, the series “follows the misadventures of four (fictional) team employees whose offseason spirals into chaos.” The Spanish-language show premieres June 12 in the US, Mexico, and Spain as part of the NFL’s international marketing push. Given Travis Kelce’s Hollywood ambitions, a cameo feels inevitable. We’re still having a hard time believing any of this is real.

OpenAI has confidentially filed to go public, setting the stage for a battle between Anthropic and SpaceX for IPO dominance.

Why It Hits: OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX announcing public offerings back-to-back highlights Wall Street’s appetite for these companies, the need to raise capital for AI infrastructure, and concerns that there may not be enough money to go around. While none of these companies is anywhere near profitability, investors will likely judge them on their long-term vision for success.

Behind The Filing: OpenAI filed to go public now in case it needs to pull the trigger sooner than planned.

Last Investment: Fascinatingly, one of the most interesting stories set to come out of this IPO — alongside those of Anthropic and SpaceX — will be how many new millionaires are minted: longtime employees who retained equity or accumulated stock options. No wonder you can buy a house right now with Anthropic stock.

OpenAI is working to allow employees to sell their shares to private investors ahead of the IPO, so expect those shares to become some of the most sought-after assets on the market.

The Future: It’s possible that OpenAI is waiting to officially roll out its much-hyped “superapp” before setting a listing date. That could provide the near-term growth narrative the company is looking for.

REVO had everything a growing brand is supposed to have — creators, sales, and traffic. What it didn’t have was proof that any of it was bringing in new customers.

Instead of relying solely on a pay-per-click model, the wellness brand partnered with Levanta to scale a creator program with more than 2,200 vetted affiliates. The platform handled onboarding, product sampling, and performance tracking in one place, driving the kind of external traffic Amazon actually rewards.

And it worked. Creators posted, audiences searched, and first-time buyers discovered REVO on YouTube and Google before ever landing on an Amazon listing.

The results:

The average Amazon ad campaign drives 28% new-to-brand customers. REVO reached 96% — clear validation that every creator, post, and search was actually doing its job.

Your program deserves that same level of validation — and the confidence of knowing that when new customers find you, your growth is real.

Adrian Chiarella, the filmmaker behind the upcoming Leviticus, is giving audiences the tools to create fan edits before the film’s release.

The Big Picture: Fan edits — short montages of clips from a movie or show set to thematically relevant music — have become one of the most effective forms of film and TV marketing, helping drive awareness for recent hits like Backrooms, Obsession, and Heated Rivalry. By empowering fans to create them, Chiarella may be building a blueprint for a new generation of grassroots indie marketing.

Behind The Scenes: Leviticus — which follows two teenage boys discovering their queer identities and falling for each other, only for a disturbing demonic possession to tear them apart — won over Neon at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Before the wider public sees it on June 19, the film wants to win over the internet.

Final Cut: The edits are already rolling in, with social media users praising the ability to create them with legit footage rather than pirated material. That’s a big win for Neon’s marketing team, which has a track record of turning innovative campaigns into sizable box-office returns.

Coming Soon: Considering that a fan edit of Heated Rivalry landed one editor a job offer from HBO to cut trailers and promos, it’s possible that scene packs like Leviticus’ could become a recruiting tool for discovering new talent.

We’re past the point of calling four hours of sleep “grinding.” Better sleep leads to better performance. But sleep alone isn’t enough.

How well you sleep depends on your nervous system. Restorative sleep happens when your vagus nerve helps shift your body out of stress mode and into recovery. When that stress response stays switched on, you can spend eight hours in bed and still wake up exhausted.

Many people try to address this with breathwork, meditation, yoga, or cold exposure. They can all help — but only if you have the time and consistency to maintain them.

For those who don’t, Parasym developed Nuropod. It clips onto your ear and does the same work while you’re already doing something else.

Featured in Don’t Die on Netflix, Nuropod is backed by more than 60 completed studies and 5 million user sessions worldwide. In studies, it improved sleep quality by 30%, reduced tiredness by 48%, and improved memory by 32%.
