Hello, and welcome back to Equity, the startup business podcast, where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
We got the whole gang together this week, which was fitting given the amount of news we had to wade through. So what did he do? Mary Ann And Natasha And Alex Penetration? Here are the details:
- A quick update on TikTok: The CEO of the popular social media service appeared before Congress yesterday. It was a pretty hateful meeting. Alex caught some live, and has a few thoughts on the matter.
- Then today it was time for our ‘Deals of the Week’ segment, featuring Duolingo’s new music product, a new DAO fund and the latest eToro investment.
- Then it was time to talk about salary. We started with Ripple’s deal to raise $500 million during the SVB crisis, and then discussed the huge HR technology space, which is bigger and more valuable than we realized.
- We closed with AI. So, a lot of AI. Everyone and the least popular parent class is building a big language model, and TechCrunch is busy covering it in all its glory, or lack thereof.
Wow! What a week. The show is back on Monday morning. See you there.
