This week Mary AnnNatasha and Alex got right into it with:

  • An update on a startup banking partner collapse that wasn't the First, and probably won't be the Last
  • A section dedicated to sunsetting Poparazzi and a Databricks acquisition (points to whoever can guess how we transitioned from one deal to the next)
  • Next up, we spoke about Finix's latest announcement to go head to head with Stripe, before talking more about the rise of down rounds
  • We ended with BlueSky. Although some of us feel grey about it. And regardless, this piece by Morgan Sung will have you thinking smartly about the new Twitter competitor started by the ol' Twitter boss.

We'll 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!
