Big Tech is now worth so much...

May 1, 2021

May 1, 2021

Welcome back to This Week in Apps, the weekly TechCrunch series that recaps the latest in mobile OS news, mobile applications and the overall app economy.

Sorbet raises $6M Seed led by Viola...

April 30, 2021

A US/Israeli startup, Sorbet — which is tackling what companies do with the financial risks as employees accrue Paid Time Off (PTO) — has raised $6 million in a Seed funding round led by Viola Ventures, with participation by Global Founders Capital, Meron Capital. The economics of Paid Time Off is relatively hidden in the business world, but essentially,Sorbet takes on the burden of this PTO from employers and then allows employees to spend it. This gives the employers...

The second shot is kicking in

April 30, 2021

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. First and foremost, Equity was nominated for a Webby for “Best Technology Podcast”! Drop everything and go Vote for Equity! We’d appreciate it. A lot.

Regardless, the Equity team got together once again this week to not...

Eclipse Ventures has $500 million more to...

April 30, 2021

Two years ago, we talked with Lior Susan, the founder of now six-year-old Eclipse Ventures in Palo Alto, California. At the time, the outfit believed that the next big thing wasn’t another social network but instead the remaking of old-line industries through full-tech stacks — including hardware, software and data — capable of bringing them into the 21st century. Fast-forward, and nothing has changed, not inside of Eclipse anyway. While the world has gone through a dramatic transformation owing...

April 30, 2021

Phil Edmondson-Jones Contributor Phil Edmondson-Jones is a principal at Oxx, the specialist SaaS VC backing Europe and Israel’s most promising B2B SaaS businesses at the scale-up stage. Once the uncool sibling of a flourishing fintech sector, insurtech is now one of the hottest areas of a buoyant venture market.

April 29, 2021

David Jegen Contributor More posts by this contributor The restaurant table(t) is getting crowded Carl Byers Contributor Why can we see all our bank, credit card and brokerage data on our phones instantaneously in one app, yet walk into a doctor’s office blind to our healthcare records, diagnoses and prescriptions? Our health status should be as accessible as our checking account balance. The liberation of financial data enabled by startups like Plaid is beginning to happen with healthcare data,...

April 29, 2021

In the past few weeks, we’ve heard Fifth Wall’s Brendan Wallace and Hippo’s Assaf Wand discuss the biggest opportunities in prop tech, heard why Scale AI’s Alex Wang and Accel’s Dan Levine think that unconventional VC deals can be the best option and taken a stroll through the Poshmark Series A deck with CEO Manish Chandra and Mayfield’s Navin Chaddha. This is the particular flavor of content, rich in key insights and tactical advice for founders, that goes down...

Fintech startups set VC records as the...

April 29, 2021

While waiting for full first-quarter venture capital results for fintech startups to drop, we knew that they were going to be outsized. The Exchange previously explored the pace at which huge venture rounds were invested into the startup niche, noting that by mid-March the fintech market had already recorded a record number of $100 million rounds. But the largest venture capital rounds are only part of the fintech investing picture, so we were looking forward to getting a deeper...

Firstbase raises $13M to make remote work...

April 29, 2021

The chance that I am ever willing to commute on a regular basis again in the future is zero. It’s too inefficient. And while workers and employers are somewhat split on where they stand on the question of remote toil, the COVID-19 pandemic has permanently shaken up the working world; we’re not going back to the pre-COVID normal. To support what could be droves of workers sticking to distance-labor instead of returning to offices, Firstbase is building a software-and-hardware...

Sydney Anh Mai Contributor Sydney Anh Mai is an award-winning product designer at Kickstarter. Her work has appeared on The Verge, Design Weekly and Core 77. Growing up, did you ever wonder how many chairs you’d have to stack to reach the sky? No? I guess that’s just me then. As a child, I always asked a lot of “how many/much” questions. Some were legitimate (“How much is 1 USD in VND?”); some were absurd (“How tall is the...

April 29, 2021

Mike Murphy Contributor Mike Murphy is the founder and CEO of Rosecliff Ventures, a New York City-based investment firm focused on venture capital and private equity opportunities. Consumer technology is an inherently risky investment sector: even the best idea can fall flat if the story of the product is not sold properly to the end user. The stats can only take you so far, and, eventually, customers want to believe in the product. Traditionally, companies that have successfully told...
