Startup founders are hard-pressed to find the right investors — not only to fund their businesses but to help their businesses grow. These days, investors represent a variety of backgrounds and industries — traditional venture capital, Hollywood even the NBA. When Golden State Warriors point guard and two-time MVP Stephen Curry isn't playing basketball, he's working with his business partner and former college basketball teammate Bryant Barr.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.This week Kate and Alex were back to cover a lot of late-stage news, which they rounded up with some early-stage notes towards the end. As a reminder, come check out the show at Disrupt SF if you are in town, we'll be out amongst startups, chatting all things startups and money.Up top, we dug into WeWork and the latest from the company's continuing IPO saga. The question regarding the co-working company's public offering has changed to whether the IPO will happen this year, not just at what price the firm can entice enough investment to actually get public.Alex has written about the company's cash appetite a few times now, which raise the question of how long the company can survive without some sort of large, external investment. If SoftBank is willing to commit more capital is an open question.Moving along to Uber, the firm underwent layoffs again this week. More than 400 people, or 8% of the operations, were cut as the company attempts to streamline operations, cut costs and, well, take baby steps toward profitability. As mentioned in the show here is a link to the Travis Kalanick letter.Turning to the early-stage part of the world, there's a new early-stage-focused venture fund out there, Work Life Ventures, which intends to put small checks into promising SaaS companies. The firm is led by SaaS School founder Brianne Kimmel, a well-known angel investor in the enterprise space. So far she's backed three companies out of the fund, including recent Y Combinator standout Tandem.We finished off the episode with... cereal. A company called Magic Spoon (their website is here, as promised) raised $5.5 million this week for its D2C breakfast business. Our take is that the price point is a bit too high for comfort in its current iteration. It'll be interesting to see if the startup can lower its prices now that it has new capital.We'll be back in a week! Chat soon, and please stop telling us to become angel investors!

Pagerduty‘s CEO Jennifer Tejada and Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie both guided their companies to successful IPOs, with Box going public in 2015 and Pagerduty listing its stocks only a few months ago. Both of them will join us on the first day of TechCrunch Disrupt SF on October 2 to talk about their experiences in getting their companies to this point and managing the changes that come with being a public company. It took both companies about ten years to get to their IPOs.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is perhaps best known for his acting across films like 10 Things I Hate About You, 500 Days of Summer, and Snowden. But times weren't always peachy for Gordon-Levitt as a creative. After leaving the movie business to go to college, he realized the limits of the industry on his potential as a creative. He decided he wanted to take his creativity into his own hands and launched a message board where he'd post films, songs, etc.

The future is female and all you fierce female founders have one last shot at receiving 30 minutes of face time with some of the industry's leading female funders. Say what now? We're talking the All Raise “ask me anything” (AMA) sessions at Disrupt SF 2019 — and applications close tomorrow, August 30. All Raise, a startup nonprofit focused on accelerating female founder success, will host a day-long AMA event on October 3 at Disrupt SF 2019.

TechCrunch is back in San Francisco for our flagship event, Disrupt SF. We've got a fantastic line up of startup and tech leaders on tap like Snapchat's Evan Spiegel, Postmates CEO Basitan Lehmann, and Salesforce's Marc Benioff. Plus, you can experience an entire track of "how-to" content to help you grow your business from experts at Bumble, Fitbit, Uber, Goldman Sachs, Y Combinator and more. Also! We'll be recording a special episode of Equity right in the middle of Startup Alley. So get a ticket and come enjoy the goodness. Early-bird pricing ends tonight, and if you act now you can save another 20% by using promo code EQUITY. techcrunch.com/disruptsf Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week we were back in the SF studio, with Kate and Alex on hand to chat venture, business, startups, and IPOs with Iris Choi. Choi is a partner at Floodgate, and one of the very few folks who have ever been invited back on the show. Despite Floodgate being an early-stage firm, Choi was more than willing to dig into the week's later-stage topics, starting with the Peloton IPO filing. Kate was stoked about the offering (her piece here, Alex's notes here). Peloton, a fitness, media, hardware (and more) company, is a lot different than your run-of-the-mill enterprise SaaS exits. Next Alex ran the team through a list of impending IPOs that we care about. There are a number of venture-backed companies looking to go public before the stock market falls apart. More on each when they price. After the S-1 march, we turned to personnel news, namely that Instacart's CFO is leaving the firm after about four years with the company. Ravi Gupta is joining Sequoia Capital. We'll tell you why. Next, we touched on two rounds. First, a Kleiner deal into Consider, an app that brings power-tooling to email. And then we chatted about Inkitt, another Kleiner deal. Why the pair of early-stage rounds? Because Alex recently went to Kleiner to chat with its new partner team about where they'll deploy capital in the future. And that took us comfortably overtime. A big thanks to Choi for joining us, again, and you for sticking with the show. More next week!

What happens when two former spies meet the startup world? We're about to find out. We're pleased to announce former National Security Agency director Adm. Mike Rogers will be at Disrupt SF on October 2-4. The former U.S. intelligence head oversaw the shadowy agency during one of its most tumultuous times in its history in the aftermath of the massive leak of classified documents by whistleblower Edward Snowden. He also oversaw the Pentagon's cyberwar-fighting division, U.S.

We have 30 free Expo Only passes, and we'll give them away at random to women founders who get accepted to the All Raise program at Disrupt SF 2019.

More specifically to Startup Alley, the exhibition floor where opportunity thrives. Grab that opportunity by the scruff and buy a Startup Alley Exhibitor Package.

Meet PoLTE, a Dallas-based startup that wants to make location-tracking more efficient. Thanks to PoLTE's software solution, logistics and shipment companies can much more easily track packages and goods. The startup is participating in TechCrunch's Startup Battlefield at Disrupt SF. If you want to use a connected device to track a package, you currently need a couple of things — a way to determine the location of the package, and a way to transmit this information over the air.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week was incredibly fun. We recorded live from the first floor of TechCrunch's Disrupt SF confab, putting us right in the middle of the action. So it was good that we had a full crew on hand to natter about the news. From TechCrunch, Connie Loizos and Danny Chricton were on deck, along with myself. In addition to us regulars, Garry Tan joined in. He's a managing partner at Initialized Capital. So we had the crew, a lovely stage, and four mics. Putting that together we kicked off with some ironically non-Valley news, in particular, Amazon reaching the $1 trillion market cap threshold. The firm has since given back around $50 billion in value, but we wanted to know why it was up, and why it was down. Seguing with some precision we tucked into the recent "Peak Silicon Valley" conversation, specifically predicated on two recent pieces from the Economist (here, and here) that, in effect ask the question is the Valley no longer what it once was? And the answer, as you can imagine, is a firm kinda. Next up we riffed on the recent crypto meltdown. Tan was not concerned, noting that you have to have 10 percent down days to have 10 percent up days. I found that hard to stomach, but crypto remains young, per Tan, so perhaps we'll see things calm down yet. Next, two IPOs. First up: Elastic, a search company that seems quite young has an impressive set of numbers to show off. It's not as hot as Snap, perhaps, but the firm is in good shape to make a good debut. And Upwork is going public as well. If Elastic is quick to IPO and quick growing, Upwork is a bit less of each. It's older and growing more slowly. The firms are linked by an investor, however, something that Crichton broke down for us here. We wrapped with Caffeine's $100 million round, and the changing pace of supergiant capital injections. And then we stopped talking, so we'll catch you all in seven days. Thanks for being great!

Disrupt SF (Sept 5-7) approaches with just a few days until things kick off. We have an all-star lineup that only TechCrunch can assemble, and we're expecting our largest number of attendees yet. Check out our star-packed agenda here, and keep reading to find out everything you need to make for a stellar conference experience.

There is perhaps no firm that has done as much to promote the adoption of Ethereum as the dominant cryptocurrency platform for actual product development as Consensys. Founded by Ethereum Foundation co-founder Joe Lubin, Consensys has emerged as an investor, accelerator, educator and product developer in its own right in little more than three years that it has been in existence.

TechCrunch's Disrupt SF (Sept. 5-7) is our most ambitious event ever. And if we're sure of one thing, it's that people in the startup scene will extract more insights and inspiration from this Disrupt than any before. Here's why… More, better programming. For the first time ever at Disrupt, we have two stages, plus two additional off-stage “Q&A” areas where Disrupt attendees can ask questions directly to speakers.

Apple released the public beta of iOS 12 this week and Megan and Henry downloaded it so they could play with the new Memoji feature. Their feelings are mixed. Also this week Microsoft improved its facial recognition technology to better detect darker skin tones. Some improvement. And finally, they spoke to Karla Monterroso, CEO of Code2040, an organization dedicated to ensuring equal representation of black and Latinx people in tech. Want to go to Disrupt SF 2018?

Disrupt SF is set to be the biggest tech conference that TechCrunch has ever hosted. So it only makes sense that we plan an agenda fit for the occasion. That's why we're absolutely thrilled to announce that Ring's Jamie Siminoff will join us on stage for a fireside chat and Jason Mars from Clinc will be demo-ing first-of-its-kind technology on the Disrupt SF stage.

Drew Houston to upload his thoughts at TC Disrupt SF in September Dropbox is a critically important tool for more than 500 million people. The company launched back in 2007 and founder and CEO Drew Houston has spent the last decade growing Dropbox to the behemoth it is today. During that time, Houston has made some tough decisions. A few years ago, Houston decided to move the Dropbox infrastructure off of AWS.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s weekly venture capital-themed podcast where we work to unpack the numbers lurking behind the news. This week we have a special episode for you all. We recorded live from Disrupt San Francisco, right in the middle of the main floor. What did we get into? A host of things, including Slack’s new mega round — and what it means for SoftBank’s massive fund — the potential Alphabet-Lyft tie up and the various intrigues in that space, flying cars, the critical importance of company dogs, and IPOs. On that final front, we discussed Despegar.com, Best Inc, the impending Roku offering, and who is in the pipeline.

This week, we're live from TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2017, where we spoke to Ben Ketai, creator of Crackle's Chosen and StartUp, as well as Eric Berger, Sony Pictures Television EVP and GM of Crackle. We also covered the news, including The Handmaid's Tale cleaning up at the Emmys, and the imminent release of the first new Star Trek TV in a decade. Dive into the atmospheric audio of a busy convention venue – complete with someone firing off a confetti cannon at some point during our news segment!
