Gearing up for demo day

Description:

Every Monday, Grace and Alex and Kell scour the news and record notes on what’s going on to kick off the week.

This week had a theme. Which was startups. Lots and lots of startups. Here’s the rundown:

  • Markets are mixed this morning, with strong crypto trading results and big news from Tesla.
  • The weekend’s leading conversation in the tech and startup world was about this analysis regarding crypto upstarts not giving out board seats to investors. Call it peak founder-friendliness? It’s also a huge risk, as investors have taken board seats for a reason, historically. All the same, you gotta win those deals.
  • Y Combinator Demo Day is this week: We are going to see hundreds of startups make their pitch in rapid-fire fashion. Sure, many will have already raised capital, but the capitalist confab is still worth watching. I am looking for API-led startups and any hints about where DAOs are heading, personally.
  • Zepto raised, which TechCrunch covered here, and I had a few thoughts about.

The big tech landscape is quiet this week thus far, which means we can focus in on startups. See you at demo day tomorrow!
