Hello and welcome back to Equity, the startup business podcast, where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
Don’t forget that the code “EQUITY” can save you money on breakout tickets and access to TechCrunch+. And it makes us look good here on the show!
Now, what did we get into today?
- Stocks around the world are higher, while major cryptos have risen sharply in the past week.
- An Ethereum update known as ‘merger’ is just around the corner. The consensus model change on ETH is a big darn thing. How the technology revolution plays out and the market’s response will be key events this week.
- And speaking of crypto, the SEC is getting busier in its efforts to put more regulation in place.
- On the startup front, Gotham Greens and DivPlan both earned $310 million and $25 million, respectively. Each is part of a niche and growing sector in startup-land, making their fundraising more impactful than private rounds.
- And then it takes off fast: everyone’s worried about Tactic, Amazon’s content budget is great, and EQT has a big new fund.
