Welcome to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups. Here, we unlock the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
this is Alex And I’m back! Yes, after spending some time learning how to take care of little humans, I’m back and more excited to get back into podcasting. Thanks to a startup economy that has proven to be as interesting as it is, Monday’s show was worth pulling off the page early in the morning and listening to.
Well what did we get into? the following:
- Stocks are up significantly today, but that’s after a terrible week last week. So a little plus/minus there. Cryptocurrencies haven’t changed much in the last day, but NFT trading results are rising again, which is good news for those interested in the token.
- Recently, news broke that the United States is also seriously considering a deal between Adobe and Figma. It’s worth noting, and there are some historical notes on what happens if a big deal falls apart before it’s done. Hello, I’m Plaid.
- In more business news, the fintech market isn’t dead, with two ventures leading the way.
- Moving on to the startup round, we looked at ProsperOps and Flock.
- Finally, let’s talk about headcount reductions at Twitter.
We’ll be back Wednesday and Friday, so sooner!
