If you're looking for some weekend reading, here are some recent insights worth digging into.

From time to time: The timing of ServiceTitan's IPO may not be entirely due to market conditions. Details indicate that the software company was poised for an initial public offering, and VCs told TechCrunch that an initial public offering is possible.

Salary Benchmark: The U.S. government's contract database USASpending.gov reveals the total compensation defense technology startup Anduril pays its top employees. There are some technicalities to breaking it down by year, but the gist is that it pays very well.

Newcomer: Scaling up start-ups is a key priority of the European Union's new top team, which includes three MEPs responsible for key technology policy areas. This includes Ekaterina Zakharieva, who will become the EU's Commissioner for Emerging Research and Innovation.

Attack of the Clones: It's not just AI code editors: Y Combinator often backs startups developing similar products, a study by data analytics startup Deckmatch found. The study also revealed other interesting insights into what types of startups YC tends to accept.
