Hello and welcome back to Equitythe startup business podcast, where we break down the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
This is our Wednesday show, where we sit down with a guest, talk about their work, and dive into the rest. This week Gene Teare from Crunchbase and Crunchbase News joined the podcast. She is a renowned analyst of the global venture capital market, she was instrumental in the early years of Crunchbase and remains one of its most permanent employees.
So what did the three of us get ourselves into? Here is the summary:
- The Big Picture: What should we think about when considering the Q3 2023 venture capital market as a whole? (More on Latin America here, Canada here and global data here from TechCrunch+.) Here it is Gen in third quarter data too.
- Health at the stage level. What startup maturity level is receiving the most capital? Least?
- And venture capital flows all over the world. As always, where risk dollars land is almost as important as their total number for a particular period.
Equities return on Friday with our weekly news summary. Chat then!
Before I let you go, some revelations: We invited Gené to the program because we wanted to know his opinion on the venture capital markets. We knew she would be great at it, because we both Maria Anna and Alex He worked with her for years at Crunchbase. During her tenure at Crunchbase, the co-hosts of this podcast received partial payments in stock options and retain minor stakes in the startup itself. At Equity we do our best to cite the best data source for whatever topic we’re analyzing, which means we use data from Crunchbase as well as information from your competitors in PitchBook and CB Insights; In fact, a few months ago we had a PitchBook resident on the show to chat about our Q2 2023 results. All of this is to say that we think we put together the best possible show for you on its merits alone, but we wanted to point out some professional overlaps on top.
