Hello and welcome back to Equity, the Tech Runch Podcast about the business of

startups where we unpack the numbers and the nuance behind the headlines.

This is Alex good morning. Today is March 4th, 2024 and welcome to our Monday show, where we take a look back

DeVide Villas. It's fantastic. Give it a lesson if you have time. If you're into FinTech or Latin America,

Then Tuesday brings us Crowd Strike Neo Box and Couch Base.

Wednesday, JD.com, Yext, Rackspace and Hippo,

and then Thursday, Broadcom,

Mongo D.B, Sam Sara, DocuSign, Billy,
