Hello, and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.
Mary Ann, Natasha and Alex are closing out another news-filled week full of change, and since we did have the crew for one last chat, here’s what we got into:
- Deals of the Week: Alex wanted to talk about the slowing of growth amongst tech companies, Natasha had notes on a brace of new Mayfield funds, while Mary Ann brought Wellthy to the table.
- Next we discussed pessimism in fintech, if it is near its peak, and how companies like Petal are still forging ahead regardless of market chop.
- From there we dug into AI, how it will impact certain creative work, and what it could mean for tech workers who traditionally have not organized.
- And we closed with a very Natasha topic: Accelerators.
Equity will be back before you know it, but in the meantime, you can catch us on Twitter @EquityPod. And for the early-stage founders out there, don’t forget to apply for the Startup Battlefield 200 cohort at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023!
