Equity podcast: Sequoia’s Roelof Botha on why he’s still bullish on Tesla

Welcome back to another episode of Equity, TechCrunch’s weekly podcast that works to put the ‘fun’ in ‘venture capital.’

This week from our SoMa studio, Katie Roof, Matthew Lynley and Alex Wilhelm were joined by Sequoia’s Roelof Botha. Sequoia, as you might know, was an early backer of companies like Google and Apple.

Celebrating the continuing earnings fête thrown by various public tech companies, we dug into Tesla’s results and ensuing (modest) correction, Facebook’s big quarter and its rivalry with Snap, Square’s own financial tally, and recent IPOs Cloudera — which after its conservative pricing has had a solid run — and Carvana, which has mostly fallen apart since its debut.

Perhaps we could invent a Lemon Law for car startups.
