  "account": "British artificial intelligence firm Quantexa is contemplating a multibillion-dollar public offering on either the UK or US stock market, according to its chief executive Vishal Marria. The company, founded in 2016, has developed AI software that assists various organizations, such as financial institutions and government agencies, in managing and analyzing extensive data sets for purposes like fraud prevention and combating financial crimes. Marria stated that Quantexa can choose to list in the UK, the United States, or both, but has not determined a specific timeline for the IPO. A potential U.S. listing could provide the company with access to a larger pool of capital and potentially higher valuation compared to the UK market. Quantexa has been \"IPO-ready\" since January but did not comment on the exact timing of the public offering. The company's software is compatible with existing systems, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in and enabling clients to maintain control over their data. Quantexa secured a £175 million ($223 million) contract with the UK's revenue and customs agency in the same year to enhance fraud detection and error prevention through data integration. Warburg Pincus, the company's minority shareholder with a 9% to 10% stake, is collaborating with Citigroup to evaluate options for its investment, including a potential sale. The stake sale is still in the early stages and is expected to culminate in an auction later this year, though a deal is not yet confirmed.",
