Technology Okay startup names and why fintech is recovering Ana LopezJune 2, 20230157 views Hello, and welcome back to Equitya podcast about the business of startups, where we unravel the numbers and nuances behind the headlines. Mary Ann And Alex were a busy couple this week, so much so that they joined in Dominic Madori Davis from the businessroundups.org+ crew to help. Before we get into what we covered in the episode, Equity remains annual listener survey. If you’re listening to the pod, we’d love to hear from you. The questions are hereand you have our thanks. Here’s the rundown of the show: Fraud is bad: Elizabeth Holmes is in jail and the SEC has wrapped an insider trading charge against a former Coinbase executive. Our opinion? Breaking corporate law is bad and maybe people shouldn’t do it. Controversial, we know. Offers of the week: Alex is enamored with web roulette, while Mary Ann wanted to talk about Stripe’s deal to buy Okay. Klarna’s Q1 2023 results prompted Alex to share some enthusiasm that the fintech market could recover, a topic he’s been talking about for a while. QED’s plans to invest its new funds carefully is a clear example of the new investment climate, argued Mary Ann. The show also touched on our latest check-in on the a16z early-stage strategy. And we closed, thanks to Dom, with a chat through the Atlanta boot scene in anticipation of our upcoming City Spotlight. TC City floodlight: Atlanta Phew, and with that we’re done for the week!
