What a week, everyone. Two full days of Y Combinator demo activity kept us busy, but the launch of the latest accelerator cohort was far from the only big story in the startup world. Today on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Mary Ann, BeccaAnd Alex came together to dig into favorites from the hundreds of new YC companies that pitched and a venture fund that wants to become “the investment and innovation arm of the autism community.”
Becca wanted to talk about Seso and its fascinating fintech play in agriculture, while Alex brought Home From College and its recent Seed round.
Then, to wrap up, we discussed the impending IPOs of Ibotta and Rubrik. This latest deal could provide fascinating thermal control for unprofitable unicorns who need to find some sort of exit, and quickly. All in all, we discussed startups from their very early form to maturity. A very fitting conclusion to the week!
