#98: OpenAI Acquires Windsurf for $3B, Google's Stock Dips


Listen Later

The countdown to Episode 100 is on, but this week, it's more news and less Sam.


Jessica, Brit, and Dave dig into a jam-packed week across tech, AI, VC, and culture—starting with Dave topping a surprise list of top angel investors (yes, above Peter Thiel), raising questions about who really shows up on cap tables and why no women made the cut.


The crew unpack:

  • Windsurf’s $3B acquisition by OpenAI
  • Apple’s potential move to replace Google with its own AI search in Safari
  • A historic week of M&A with DoorDash, Datadog, and Function Health, and
  • Why tech was (mostly) absent from this year’s Met Gala
