Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the startup business, where we break down the numbers and nuances behind the headlines. This is our Friday show and we're talking about the biggest tech and startup news of the week.
This week, Mary Ann, Kirsten Korosec and Alex Wilhelm were on hand to discuss a veritable mountain of news. Even though today is December 1st, tech news continues to fall at a rapid pace. For now, there is a lot to talk about:
- Disadvantages of autonomous driving: Cruise is set to cut costs in the wake of a safety issue and increased scrutiny from regulators. Alex hopes the current set of news doesn't slow down the progress of self-driving technology.
- Webull takes over Flink: Free trade is not just a popular business model in the United States. Webull is taking the Latin American market more seriously with the purchase of Flink.
- Uber taxis <3: What are London's iconic black taxis doing on the Uber platform? And how long does it take to go from enemies to enemies?
- Rover finds the way out: Who would have guessed? Walking dogs would be worth $2.3 billion?
- IPOs are recovering (a little): With Shein and Reddit targeting the IPO market in the coming months, it's time to put our S-1 boots back on and prepare for some new debuts.
- Risk crises are not death sentences: EU risk funding levels have decreased, but have not disappeared. And what is happening down there?
