Hello and welcome Equitya podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
This is the Friday show, the news roundtable, the gathering of our nerds! At the top we have Alex Wilhelm and Mary Ann Azevedo carving out the key stories of the week. Afterward, Kirsten Korosech and Haje Jan Kamps are on board to bring us the latest from CES!
- Offers of the week: Shimmer raised $2.2 million to bring one-on-one care for ADHD at a lower price. Alex chose this because mental health startups trying to expand access are good. Overmoon’s recent fundraising and business progress was Mary Ann’s pick of the week, showing that proptech isn’t dead yet!
- The circle is made public: Yes, the company behind the USDC stablecoin is heading to the public markets again. The company’s confidential IPO filing follows a failed SPAC attempt in the past. Alex is positive about the deal, although we will need to wait for the full details before we can make any predictions.
- And speaking of IPOs, we’re really far behind in how many exits it takes to clear the venture capital decks.
- CES: We went over a bunch of cool stuff this year, like that Bane-type mask, ChatGPT in cars, eVTOLs, and more!
Equity is back tomorrow with our interview! This week, Mary Ann caught up Jenny Fieldingco-founder and managing partner at Everywhere Ventures.
