Equity

Stanford moonshot promises near-term profitability with no-code magical mushrooms, ft. Plaid of X

Hello and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. As you can tell by the headline of this episode, this is a bonus episode all about Y Combinator Demo Day (and the terms we heard most often during the two-day affair).

Natasha and Alex jumped on Twitter Spaces to talk through our favorites of the batch, geography changes, and diversity shake-up that included less women getting funded batch over batch. Below are some of the posts we pulled from:

  • The biggest moonshots in YC’s S22 batch
  • Our 11 favorite companies from YC’s S22 Demo Day: Part 1 
  • Our 10 favorite startups from YC’s S22 Demo Day: Part 2
  • Delving into YC’s diversity data following a category shakeup
  • Where is Y Combinator startup-hunting in 2022?
  • Y Combinator week is busy, but we made it through! Talk Monday!

    Equity drops every Monday at 7 a.m. PDT and Wednesday and Friday at 6 a.m. PDT, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.

    Credits: Equity is produced by Theresa Loconsolo with editing by Kell. Bryce Durbin is our Illustrator. We'd also like to thank the audience development team and Henry Pickavet, who manages TechCrunch audio products.
