Hello and welcome back to Equity, the startup business podcast, where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
We’re back from disruption, which means we’re picking up parts of our work lives, getting back on track. Equity is now on the regular schedule, which is good. A huge thanks to the entire podcast production team who made last week happen.
right now! What did we get this morning? the following:
- Stocks rallied worldwide, but fell in China. China’s equities have been hurt by investor pessimism as Xi Jinping’s grip on the country’s economy tightens. Elsewhere, let’s hope central bank policies don’t carry too many teeth going forward, as we’ve seen in recent months.
- The finalists in the recent Startup Battleground competition were all amazing, especially the focus many had on making our home planet a little cleaner or better. We need business solutions to do anything bad on the planet, so here are the companies that are working on it.
- Minerva Lithium won, which seemed right given our current demand for lithium as a population (figures in battery production).
- Other discussion points: No Instacart IPO coming, Yat Siu is still bullish on crypto games and it’s earnings season!
