It's been more than a minute since Tesla went public, but the electric vehicle company was unmissable at TechCrunch this week. From layoffs to price changes and more, it was a week deeply colored in Tesla colors, so we had to chat about the latest news.
But that was just one element of what we covered about equities this week. We also delve into Mary Ann's reporting on Ramp's latest round (and its rising valuation) which dovetails perfectly with Rippling's impending fundraising. If you manage money, it's a good time to be a startup.
The team also delved into Cherub, which wants to connect investors and founders, Maven Ventures' consumer investment push, and touched on what Mercury is doing. All told, we were lucky to have Kirsten Korosec with us this week given the sheer volume and diversity of transportation news to discuss, especially as it relates to Tesla.
Equity returns tomorrow with a special interview between Mary Ann and Hans Tung of Notable Capital, so stay tuned! Until then, press play and let's have fun.
