Summary

The Equity crew is back with another live recording from the Moscone Center in San Francisco for TechCrunch Disrupt 2023. Alex, Kirsten and Becca sat down to recap a very busy (and dare we say successful) event, and walk through our favorite moments for the listeners who couldn't make it out this year. Here's what we got into: Providing early liquidity to founders and employees What advice VCs are giving their early stage founders  Why Cruise might join the call to ban human drivers in city centers And why Shaq can do whatever he wants. We recorded shortly before the winner of Startup Battlefield was announced, but you can get caught up on that here. Now, it's time to fly back home. Equity will be back to our regularly scheduled programing bright and early Monday morning! Talk then. For episode transcripts and more, head to Equity’s Simplecast website. Equity drops at 7 a.m. PT every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
