Welcome to Q4 2023, the period in which we are all going to pretend to have gotten enough done this year. Here’s what we got into on the show today: - Stocks are mixed around the world while crypto tokens are enjoying a nice price-upswing in recent days.
- A recent article argues that Apple has all the ingredients it needs to build a search engine to take on Google and Microsoft. At issue? The fact that Apple makes so much money not having a search engine. For startups, more competition here could be good.
- EU telcos want to get paid twice, unsurprisingly.
- While the Amazon-FTC case is still big news, this week we’ll see the trial of former FTX maven SBF kick off. TechCrunch is ready.
- And to close out, why are we seeing so many Seed-stage fintech deals? Here’s the answer.
