Daniela Kirova

Daniela Kirova is a senior writer at Fathom, covering the business of AI. Her beat is the money: funding rounds and what the terms imply, valuations and what has to be true to justify them, earnings from the companies building and selling AI, acquisitions, IPOs and the market structure forming around all of it. She reports on the capital flowing into compute and data centres as the sector's clearest signal of intent, since infrastructure spending commits a company in a way a product roadmap does not. She is drawn to the arithmetic underneath an announcement, and to the distinction between revenue and the expectation of revenue, which she regards as the most frequently blurred line in technology coverage. Her stories generally start from a filing, a disclosure or a set of figures rather than from a statement about them.
