Hello, and welcome back to Equity, the podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.

Our Monday show covers the latest in tech news from the weekend and what’s making headlines early in the week. Here’s the rundown from this morning:

• Stocks are up in most of the world, except China. The Chinese economy has been a significant topic of conversation lately, with concerns around credit appetite, debt levels, housing costs and government activity.
• Crypto prices are sharply down compared to a week ago, and NFT platform Recur will soon be no more.
• The partial retrenchment of Cruise in San Francisco is a bummer. Given how badly people drive in general, we’re hoping progress doesn’t slow further on the self-driving front.
• Are IPOs back? Kinda, maybe. The good news is that recent data from Instacart and Databricks indicate that we could see some filings soon.
• To close things out: Threads is getting a web app, and Enough raised a big round for mushroom-based proteins.

That’s all we have for you this morning! See you Wednesday!

Hello, and welcome back to Equity, the podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.

Our Monday show covers the latest in tech news from the weekend and what’s making headlines early in the week. Here’s the rundown from this morning!

• Stocks are mixed around the world: Chinese equities were sold off and American shares are set to rise when the market opens. A massive run of earnings this week should shake up the stock market for tech companies and their traditional brethren.
• In Crypto Land, prices are back to where they were before the XRP decision. I don’t know what to make of that, but I do know that Worldcoin is still a thing and is now actually out.

• Twitter’s new brand: All hail X, I suppose. Musk is working to defenestrate everything we knew about Twitter, and is rebranding it to X, which the company intends to be a superapp of sorts. It’ll be cool if it works; embarrassing if it doesn’t.
• Spotify is finally raising prices, and all I can say is Thank God. It was getting weird to get all the world’s music for what felt like a song. The price hike is welcome, even if it’s still far smaller than it should be.
• SF really is the new AI hub.

Ahead, we have Disrupt, which is taking up more and more of my time. See you there!
