Hello and welcome back to Equitya podcast on the business of startups, where we break down the numbers and the nuances behind the headlines.
This week, Natasha Mascarenhas, Maria Ana Azevedo and cardigan szkutak got on the microphone
- Our offerings for the week included a look at a great new fund focused on Africa, a startup raising big money to address a nursing shortage, and Rebelyous raising in a crowded and struggling space towards their effort to ‘rethink the nugget’.
- We grab a few to chat about the latest on FTX, which is trying to win back its political donations at the same time Robinhood is trying to repurchase the 7.6% stake that an SBF entity acquired last year. We also marvel at how low Twitter’s blue numbers really are.
- To remind you for a second, Mary Ann walked us through the latest with Stripe AND all our questions about her financial backing right now. Becca reminds us that high schools, dear friends, may be quiet but they are busier than ever.
- We end with notes on AI and inclusion, based on Dom’s recent article looking at the data behind the disparities. Reminder to use code EQUITY for 50% off TC+ annual memberships!
