Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups where we reveal the numbers and nuances behind the headlines. Equity turns 7 this week. So in honor of his birthday, will you write us a review? More reviews will help more people discover the show and support all of our hard work!
Mary Ann is currently taking a well-deserved break, so we enlisted our podcast colleague Rebecca Szkutak to provide her insight and humor for this episode. Here's what we got ourselves into:
- Regulators return with determination: Efforts to force a divestment of TikTok or ban it in the United States are making progress, and the EU is working on its new AI regulations.
- Sales of the week: Peak XV's new fund is fascinating and we can learn a lot about the Indian startup market from it. In addition, Ada Ventures' new $80 million fund seemed counterproductive in the best possible way.
- AI and data protection: After AI was booed at SXSW, we took a look at several new AI startups promoting their audio projects. These include Nijta and Tavus as well as a variety of start-ups from the current Y-Combinator cohort.
- What to do if there is no liquidity? According to Becca, the answer is to stay private. That's the bad news. The good news is that secondary transactions could be a way to resolve many of the tensions between founders and investors regarding exit timing.
That's it for today. Speak again on Monday!
