CrunchWeek: Uber Beefs Up On Insurance, Secret’s New Funding, More Trouble At Clinkle


You know what goes great with your TGIF beverage of choice? A brand new episode of CrunchWeek, the show that brings three TechCrunch writers together to chat about the most interesting stories from the past seven days in tech.

In this episode, Ryan Lawler, Alex Wilhelm, and I talked about Uber offering insurance coverage to its U.S. drivers to “close the insurance gap”, anonymous social sharing app Secret announcing new funding after seeing a SXSW-induced spike (and subsequent fall) in user installs, and the latest sign of trouble at Clinkle, with the departure this week of its well-regarded COO Barry McCarthy.
