    Aerospace Corp's CEO talks literal moonshots and Space Agenda 2025 Nov 27, 2024
    Show notes

    At this year's TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, President and CEO of the Aerospace Corporation Steve Isakowitz and Agency Chief Technologist at NASA A.C. Charanya Charania took the stage to discuss a literal moonshot: how to build a thriving lunar ecosystem. Today on Equity, we’re taking you behind the scenes of TechCrunch Disrupt once again, this time with Devin Coldewey at the helm.

    For those keeping track, Devin’s kept the Equity podcast crew up to date on space startups over the past few months, including Starfish Space’s $29 million round and, more recently, SpaceX’s second commercial deal for the Starship lunar lander with Lunar Outpost.

    Listen to the full conversation to hear Devin and Steve Isakowitz discuss:

    • What the path ahead looks like for space startups
    • The shift away from government-dominated space programs to a more commercial landscape
    • And what’s in store for Aerospace Corporation in 2025.

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate, and we’ll be back on Friday for a special episode from our sister podcast, Found.

    The AI industry's 'next big bet,' and should we just buy Chrome? Nov 22, 2024
    Show notes

    Today, on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Devin Coldewey and Margaux MacColl dig into the week’s tech and startup news, including what a new scaling method could mean for AI startups if it works and for chip providers if it fails.

    Listen to the full episode to hear about:

    • The DOJ’s latest proposal for Google: it should divest its Chrome browser. While we wait for a break in the monopoly case and a better search alternative to arise, the Equity crew thinks that Wiz might’ve been on to something when they said no to Alphabet.
    • Dual-use drone startup Tekever’s $74 million raise and its part in the European defense tech boom
    • How Converge Bio plans to build an ’everything store’ for biotech LLMs. While on the subject of LLMs, Kirsten took us deeper into ServiceTitan’s S-1, including its boilerplate warning about AI.
    • Network states 2.0. Margaux had the latest on Praxis’s unusual $525 million raise and the regions its founder is eyeing for a new city.

    Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!

    Building trust in crypto with Jonathan Levin of Chainalysis Nov 20, 2024
    Show notes

    Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under President-Elect Donald Trump who has vowed to oust Gensler. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase, to discuss potential personnel appointments.

    Today on Equity, we're bringing you an interview between Rebecca Bellan and co-founder and CSO of blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, Jonathan Levin. The pair caught up at our Strictly VC event in New York shortly before the Gary Gensler news dropped to discuss:

    • The imminent change for crypto in the wake of the US election
    • Trends in crypto crime
    • Chainalysis’s choice to run its operations in the US
    • How to build trust in crypto

    Ben Horowitz’s cozy relationship with the LVMPD - and why it matters Nov 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Over the last few years, VC Ben Horowitz has donated at least $7.6 million to fund police department purchases - including the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s new drones from a16z-backed Skydio. Skydio is not the first of a16z’s portfolio companies to benefit from these donations, either.

    Today, on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Devin Coldewey and Margaux MacColl dug into the implications of Horowitz’s approach and why others in the VC world should maybe hold off on praising the controversial move.

    Listen to the full episode to hear about:

    • Elon Musk’s new role in the Department of Government Efficiency. The crew wondered how much change Musk and co-lead Vivek Ramaswamy will actually be able to enact. And yes, DOGE jokes were made.
    • Klarna’s plans for a U.S. IPO. Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to wait for 2025 before we get another IPO, but Margaux has a theory about what might be behind the slowdown.
    • Vecna Robotics’ $14.5 million raise and the CEO choice that caught Kirsten’s attention.
    • Starfish Space’s latest round and impressive batch of contracts for its full-size Otter spacecraft.
    • Who’s joining the unsolicited bidding war over Cursor-maker Anysphere.

    Listen to the full episode to hear about:

    • The impact of AI on customer experience
    • The application of AI agents in the healthcare space - and what it could mean for data privacy

    Trump's election throws tech regulation a curveball Nov 08, 2024
    Show notes

    A tech regulation shakeup is on the way with President-elect Donald Trump set to take office in January. Trump has made it clear that he plans to dismantle Biden’s AI policies on "day one," aligning himself with those who’ve pushed back against regulation. Today on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Devin Coldewey and Margaux MacColl dove into what Trump’s win could mean for AI policy and innovation moving forward.

    While AI is always on the mind these days, there was so much more startup and venture news for the Equity crew to get into this week. Listen to the full episode to hear about:

    • OpenAI’s acquisition of Chat.com, the domain previously acquired by HubSpot co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah for a whopping $15.5 million. We’re not sure if this signals a brand change for the AI startup, but users’ trips to ChatGPT just got three letters shorter.
    • DeepRoute’s $100 million raise and the startup’s race to get its automated systems out before Tesla FSD is available in China.
    • Biotech startup Archon’s $20 million effort to power up drug development with its ‘antibody cages’. Of course, we couldn’t talk about the news without a biochemistry lesson from Devin where we learned a new scientific term: thingies.
    • Google’s new AI-focused data center and collaboration with the Saudi Public Investment fund. The move had the team thinking more about tech’s climate commitments at large, and who is walking back their pledges in favor of AI.
    • The election bidding boom - from Polymarket to Kalshi and a potential $450 million payout.

    Equity will be back next week with a special interview between TechCrunch senior editor Julie Bort and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, so stay tuned.

    As the founder and CEO of Rocket Lab, Peter Beck is a familiar face to anyone in the space industry. But the company's ambitions go far beyond its popular Electron launch vehicle.

    Today, we're bringing you an interview from TechCrunch Disrupt when Devin Coldewey sat down with Beck to discuss his belief that to thrive, perhaps even to survive, space companies will have to become fully integrated one-stop shops.

    Stripe's biggest acquisition yet, and what's a16z doing with all of those Nvidia GPUs? Oct 25, 2024
    Show notes

    It’s no secret that Stripe has doubled down on its crypto offerings, enabling crypto purchases in the EU back in July and announcing a Pay with Crypto feature earlier this month. This week, the fintech giant made its dedication to crypto even clearer with its largest deal to date: its acquisition of stablecoin platform Bridge for an eye-popping $1.1 billion. Today on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha and Devin Coldewey kicked off the show with their thoughts on the deal – mainly how surprising it is to see anyone spending over $1 billion on crypto in 2024.

    But of course, there was so much more startup and venture news for the crew to get into this week. Listen to the full episode for more about:

    • Mobileye founder and CEO Amnon Shashua’s latest startup
    • A 3D metal printing startup’s $14 million round from Boeing’s AE Ventures and Nvidia
    • Andreessen Horowitz’s plans to provide its portfolio companies with Nvidia GPUs
    • And who we’re expecting to see at TechCrunch’s Disrupt 2024.

    Equity will be live at Disrupt on Tuesday, so we'll see you there!
