Oracle just nuked expectations 🤯☁️
.....while Google is cashing in on AI.

Welcome to SaaS Wire — your backstage pass to the hottest in software and services!
What we’ll cover today:
⚡ Google Cloud’s $106B backlog and AI upsell strategy
⚡ Oracle’s $455B cloud contracts that stunned Wall Street
⚡ SaaS leaders calling it the “seismic shift” in cloud computing

Google Cloud, led by Thomas Kurian, is turning AI into real cash, making billions already while competing with Microsoft and Amazon.
🚨 Breaking News:
Google Cloud’s $106B backlog is growing faster than revenue, with 50% set to convert into cash over the next 2 years.
⚡Wire Simplified –
Google already made billions using AI (yes, actual billions, not Monopoly money).
Customers pay by usage: tokens, GPUs, TPUs, or AI-powered customer support.
Subscriptions like Google Workspace and Google AI Ultra ($249.99/month!) are booming.
Upselling: Once you’re in, Google finds ways to make you pay more.
New customer wins grew 28% in the first half of 2025.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
Google Cloud is minting money from AI with subscriptions, upsells, and token usage. Think Netflix but for AI.

Oracle, the software giant, shocked analysts after an earnings call, with projections so massive even Wall Street sat up straight.
🚨 Breaking News:
Oracle’s cloud business is set to grow 10x in 5 years, with contracts worth billions pushing its market cap near $870B.
⚡Wire Simplified –
Stock jumped 28% after-hours, biggest rally since the 1999 dot-com boom.
Oracle projects cloud revenue hitting $144B by 2030 (from $18B today).
Signed four multi-billion-dollar contracts last quarter (including OpenAI for data centers).
Remaining performance obligations surged to $455B, up 359% year-over-year.
Analysts called the numbers “staggering,” though some warn it is mainly capacity offloaded from rivals.
✔️ Straight to the Point:
Oracle just told Wall Street it is not just in the cloud game, it is trying to own the entire sky. Investors loved it.

Seed investing is simple.
1. Is this top .5% founder.
2. Are they working in a directionally correct market?
3. Is the deal workable with our fund; size and price? (Least important, most flexible).
If you have 1 and 2 don’t ask for the data room, wire and get to work.
