Hello. Welcome to Equity. A podcast about startup business. Here, we unlock the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
The whole gang got together this week.This was appropriate given the sheer number of news articles we simply had to go through. Mary Ann and Natasha and Alex jump into? Here’s an overview:
- TikTok Update: The CEO of the popular social media service attended Congress yesterday. It was a rather hostile meeting. Alex caught some of it live and has some thoughts on the matter.
- From there, it’s time for today’s Deal of the Week section. This included investing in Duolingo’s new music product today, his new DAO fund, and the latest eToro.
- Then it’s time to talk about salary. We started with the Rippling deal, which raised $500 million during the SVB crisis, and then discussed the larger HR tech space, which is worth more than we thought.
- Finished off with AI. So lots of AI. Everyone, and their most hated parent unit, is building a massive language model, and TechCrunch is busy covering it in all its glory or lack.
Wow! How many weeks? The show is back on Monday morning. See you there.
