Extra Crunch Live: Join Anu Duggal for...

August 14, 2020

Rent the Runway and Glossier became unicorns within the same week in June 2019. That same year, only 2.7% of venture capital dollars went toward female-founded companies. Silicon Valley’s disconnect between the monetary success of female-founded companies and funding them in the first place is disheartening. The conversation is there, but the dollar sign momentum remains missing. Anu Duggal founded the Female Founders Fund before both were even a tangible reality. In 2014, the entrepreneur launched her first fund...

Lyft shares get small bump after reporting...

August 12, 2020

Today after the bell, Lyft reported its second-quarter financial performance. The American ride-hailing company’s results helped illustrate just how much the economy has changed in the wake of COVID-19 and its resulting disruptions to life, travel and work. Uber’s own results, which were shared last week, provided hints of what was coming for Lyft. The upshot: a sharply reduced ride-hailing business. In the second quarter, Lyft reported revenue of $339.3 million and earnings per share of negative $1.41. Analysts had...

Hear how working from home is changing...

August 7, 2020

Let’s just say it has been a year.
