About this episode

Here's what Alex got into this morning:

  • Earnings Season Never Ends: Gitlab, Asana, UiPath, Docusign, Rent the Runway and others will report this week.
  • Crypto Down Bad: Prices for major cryptoassets are flat this morning, while the crypto venture picture is looking up to some degree.
  • Arm Sets IPO Range: Shares of Arm are expected to sell for $47 to $51 per share, according to the company. The question for investors is whether to value the company on its trailing results, or future profits.
  • More on the impact (or lack thereof) of Arm's upcoming debut can be found here.
  • The Catalyst Fund: The Africa-focused venture fund has reached a first close, and intends to invest in climate-focused startups on the continent.
  • Elon Musk Is Mad
  • And to close out, a new Chinese semiconductor fund is potentially coming, while India wrestles with net neutrality.

Don’t forget that Equity is opening this year’s Disrupt. We’ll see you there!
