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. Welcome to the Monday show. Today is March 11th, 2024, and you and I are going to take a look back at the weekend and a look at the week that is to come.

But speaking of the weekend, if you didn't know, we dropped an awesome interview

with Roger Lee of layoffs to FYI over the weekend. Mary Ann chatted with him about why startups

are shutting down so much right now and why so many more closed last year than we saw in

2022. Lee of course is an investor in Sunset

Sun set one of the two companies we profiled the other week that helps startups shut down. But on the show this morning we have stocks and

crypto news on Reddit's IPO, why Grock is going, open source, new troubles at Techstars and then a really neat new FinTech round let's go

Let's start with a look at the world of money and that means the stock market.

Over in Asia today, stocks are down sharply, especially in Japan.

They are lower in Europe and stocks are set to fall in the US at the open.

Now on the earnings front I only have a handful of names for you this week so let's talk through the list

on Monday, Oracle, and Asana.

Wednesday is UI Path and then Sentinel 1,

and Thursday will bring us Adobe, Smart Sheet,

Pager Duty, and Wibo. So yes, it's a quieter week, but one that should still be very interesting.

UI Path's report will include a healthy dose of AI. Sentinel One is amongst the fastest growing public software companies out there

and Adobe's earnings in a post-Figma deal world are very interesting.

So not that many names but hopefully a sheaf of juicy nuggets.

And then there was crypto.

If you have been living under a rock, I have an update for you.
