Big Wins For Latin America, Climate Tech Momentum And Rovers $2.3B Sale

Listen to podcasts here or elsewhere.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, the startup podcast where we break down the numbers and nuances behind the headlines. It's our Friday show and we talk about the biggest startups and tech news of the week.

Mary Ann, Kirsten Korosek and Alex Wilhelm were there this week to read a veritable mountain of news. Even though it's the first of December, tech news is still coming at a fast pace. So now there is something to discuss.

• Failures of autonomous driving. Cruising is cutting costs due to safety concerns and increased regulatory oversight. Alex hopes that the current news will not slow down the development of drone technology.
• Weibull takes over Flink. free trade is not just a popular business model in the US. With the acquisition of Flink, Weibull is taking the Latin American market more seriously.
• Uber Taxi <3. What are London's popular black cabs doing on the Uber platform? And how long does it take to get from enemy to enemy?
• Rover finds a solution. who would have thought that dog walking would cost $2.3 billion?
• IPOs are (slightly) behind. As Shane and Reddit set their sights on the IPO market in the coming months, it's time to put the S-1 boots back on and prepare for more debuts.
• A decline in venture capital is not a death sentence. The level of venture capital funding in the EU has fallen but not collapsed. What's going on below?

We'll be back on Monday! Then communicate.
