Welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we dive into the numbers behind the story.
This week, Arlan Hamilton, founder and managing partner of a Backstage Capital, joined co-hosts Katie Roof, Matthew Lynley and myself. We discussed the interesting and slightly disappointing $630 million RetailMeNot acquisition, Yext’s above-range IPO pricing and strong first day’s trading, what’s going on in global venture capital and the investing thesis of Hamilton and her diversity-focused firm.
