Hot Take:

It seems Darktrace is swapping rainy London for the star-spangled banner of private equity, and the city's stock market is left waving a not-so-fond farewell. With Thoma Bravo swooping in like the knight in shiny Silicon Valley armor, Darktrace's AI might just get to play in the big leagues, sans the British stiff upper lip. Meanwhile, the London Stock Exchange is quietly sobbing into its afternoon tea, mourning yet another tech exodus. Oh, the drama of cybersecurity!
