Hello, and welcome back to Equity, the podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.
Our Monday show covers the latest in tech news from the weekend and what’s making headlines early in the week. This time ’round we had a bit of a theme. See if you can spot it:
- Stocks are down around the world in the wake of Hamas’ attack in Israel. Crypto is similarly in the red.
- China is working to bolster its national computing and data infrastructure. You know, the things that make AI function. In other words: The AI race between China and the United States is far from over.
- This Anthropic paper is a potentially big deal. The more that we understand LLMs, the better we can use them, right?
- Changes at YC!
- And from Startup Land: Wanda Fish Technologies just raised $7 million to make fake fish, and Lottie raised $21 million to keep tackling the U.K. care home market.
That’s our show for today! We have some really fun interviews coming up, so make sure to tune in on Wednesday!
