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 show. Today is February 5th,

2004 and on our Monday podcast we take a look back at the weekend and then a look at the

week that is to come.

A small programming note, a big thanks to Maggie Stamets,

who is stepping in for Theresa today on the production side.

Theresa is out.

We'll have her back later this week,

but as always, thanks to Mags for being our backup.

On the show today, we have stocks. It is a big, big earnings week. I have all you need to know coming up soon.

Then in the realm of crypto I have pulled out the current scorecard of the

Bitcoin Spot EDF race. Then in the news bucket we have Yandex's parent company leaving Russia.

Everbridge is going private, very interesting, Wonder Ventures has new

capital, I have several funding rounds and then to close out just how many AI

startups are there really out there? AI startups

starting off as we always do with a look at the world of money and that means stocks if you spend globe, shares are mostly lower in Asia today. They are mixed in Europe and set to fall here in the US at the open.

What's driving the narrative? Well, interest rates and comparative economic strength.

That and whatever the heck is going on with China's economy are leading the world yet again this morning.

Now on the earnings front, it is going to be a packed week. I'm

going to give you all the names and then tell you what to care about. On Monday we

will hear from Palantier and Chegg. Tuesday is Spotify, Cognizant, Snap, Freshworks, Tenable, and Sonos.
