The show opens with a look at Sequoia Capital moving away from the traditional venture capital formula of funds with around a 10 year time horizon to creating a “permanent structure” that will store investor capital. Next, Alex discusses Rent The Runway going public via IPO. He looks at Rent the Runway's business and explains why he sees a lack of business model innovation at the once darling fashion startup. The second half of the show highlight's JCPenny partnering with a under the radar marketplace and Amazon's deal to partner with insurtech startup NEXT to offer coverage to sellers.
