Hello and welcome back to Equitya podcast about the business of startups, where we unravel the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.

This week Natasha Mascarenhas And Becca Szkutak grabbed their mics to sing a duet over this week’s startup news. Just kidding! But us did highlight some fun companies raising capital and discuss some VC themes likely to be relevant in 2023.

This is what we started:

• For our deals of the week, we talked about Artifact, the new startup from Instagram’s previous co-founders; Spill, a new Twitter alternative that raised pre-seed funding; and Disclo, a startup that aims to make it easier for individuals to find accommodations for their disabilities at work.
• Then we talked about the recent wave of new venture capital funds and what the timing of these announcements says about where the VC market is right now.
• Finally, we talked about climate technology and how the recent wave of startups in the sector is a promising sign.
