Hey there and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unload the numbers behind the headlines. This is Equity Monday, our weekly kickoff that tracks the most recent private market news, talks about the coming week, goes into some recent financing rounds and mulls over a larger style or story from the private markets. You can follow the show on Twitter hereand myself here.
Initially, delighted belated birthday to Chris Gates, among the charter member of the program. His birthday was yesterday, and while he’s on holiday for two weeks, we still wished to provide him a shoutout. Chris is an excellent individual, a good friend, a great daddy, a good partner. He’s kind, encouraging, and humorous. And he has an excellent beard.
But Equity waits on no single person, despite their benefit, so on we went! Here’s today’s show:
- Stocks are a bit blah this morning, though set to rise in the United States. Cryptos are up a little.
- From the weekend, Venmo is entering ecommerce, and Apple enjoys Surface.
- From today: Binance is beefing with the UK, and appears to be winning, which is somewhat funny.
- On the financing round beat, Slice raised $20 million, Botrista raised $10 million, and Thursday raised $3.5 million.
- We wrapped with this.
The Equity crew is back on Wednesday for our deep-dive, today focusing on the developer economy which should be excellent enjoyable. Chat then!
Equity drops every Monday at 7:00 a.m. PST, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 AM PST, so register for us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotifyand all the casts!
