Since Mary Ann is taking a well-deserved break, we’ve invited fellow podcaster Rebecca Szkutak to join us today. Rebecca brings her unique insights and sharp humor to the table, making this episode a real treat for all our listeners. Here’s a sneak peek of what we’ll be discussing:
💼 Regulators Return with a Resolve
Regulators are back in action, with the aim of either divesting or banning TikTok in the United States. The movement seems to be gaining momentum, and even the European Union is working on new AI regulations. 🚀
💰 Deals of the Week
We’ve got some fascinating deals to talk about that offer valuable lessons for the Indian startup market. First, let’s take a look at Peak XV’s new fund, which provides a glimpse into the dynamics of the Indian startup ecosystem. And that’s not all! We’ll also dive into Ada Ventures’ contra-narrative $80 million fund that’s turning heads and challenging the status quo.
🤖 AI and Privacy
The AI community took a bit of a hit when it faced booing at SXSW. But don’t worry, things are looking up for AI startups focused on audio-based projects. We’ll explore the exciting developments from Nijta and Tavus, as well as other promising startups from the current Y Combinator cohort. 🎙️
💼 When There’s No Liquidity, What Should You Do?
According to our guest, Becca, the answer is simple: stay private. Well, that might be disappointing news, but fear not! We’ll also dig into the potential of secondary transactions to help ease tensions between founders and investors regarding exit timing. 💼
That’s a wrap for today! But don’t worry, we’ll be back on Monday with more exciting discussions and insights. Stay tuned!
