Hello and welcome to Equity, TipsClear's venture capital podcast, where we unveil the numbers behind the headlines.
This week has been full of news of all kinds, but while we record, Danny and Natasha "no Tash", the Mascarenhas were still excluded from their Twitter accounts after a proletarian revolution on the social platform saw the class Blue Checkmark in power forced into silence. It's not really what happened, but it sounds better than what really happened at Big Social.
Anyway, Twitter accounts or not, the three of us got together to analyze a wave of news:
- The new TipsClear list that Danny has passed very the compilation has arrived a long time ago! It's live! You can find it here. Its good.
- And, if you want to know which VCs were even more celebrated by the founders, go here. (If you're upset that you haven't made a list, please email Danny, not the show!)
- By the way, Google is investing billions in Reliance Jio after everyone else in the world has done the same. Google buys slightly less Indian telecommunications than the search giant, but in between, it makes more than $ 10 billion in transactions. Maybe Reliance Jio has finished raising funds? Finally?
- According to reports, Udemy is looking for more capital at a higher valuation, providing Natasha with the perfect time to let us know what's going on with edtech.
- Regarding the funding rounds, I was hyped about the macro tour TipsClear covered this week, Danny wanted to discuss the Browser Company's similar $ 5 million size tour, and Natasha told us about LiteBoxer combined $ 6 million in new capital.
- In closing, we talked about IPOs for a hot second. The IPO window is open, and now that nCino and GoHealth have gone public, we want to know who is next.
It was a nice time and there is a bit of news on the show. Namely, Equity returns to YouTube this week or next. So if you want to see us talk, you can do it soon! Again!
Oh, and follow the show on Twitter. If you can, it is.
