Recruit or retain? • TechCrunch
Hello and welcome back Equitya podcast about the startups business where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.
This week, Alex and Natasha discussed the latest and greatest news of this consumer news cycle. Our goal with the episode, as always, is to go beyond what you can see in the 140 characters taking on. [insert big story here]. And in today’s recording? That is not difficult at all.
- We start with our good news segment: 1) Maven, now valued at $1.35 billion, is responding to a nationwide need: More fertility benefits and 2) Alibaba eyeing logistics growth in LatAm as China trade slows. We love having the opportunity to talk about growth, despite all the difficulties and even trends!
- Then, right after our awesome debut crypto conference, we take a minute to talk about FTX Fall out. Yes, we are talking about how a Web3 startup in Africa went bankrupt and why? SoftBank joined Sequoia to mark its investment in cryptocurrency exchange.
- Then we move on to the latest layoffs: Amazon cut 3%, cuts at Morning Brew and Protocol, and Musk’s latest attempt to recruit (or retain?) Twitter employees. We still don’t know what’s going on there, don’t ask us. Okay, you can.
- And we’ll end by throwing this gem in here, with little to know about the context: I volunteer as tribute.
And that’s it. As always you can follow the show @equitypodleave us ratings on Apple Podcasts and most importantly, be kind to your people. Talk soon!
