To close out the year, Natasha and Mary Ann and Alex headed to the mic with Grace and Chris behind the scenes. We got to our favorite topics, and honestly, got a chance to just laugh our way through the final innings of the year.
Here’s what we got to:
- Factor raised a seed round for up-chain logistics work, Phylagen is working to track airborne illness and Notus wants to help you find the right influencer to buy.
- We also dove into the How Big Can Y Combinator Really Get discussion that Haje kicked off. We don’t all agree on this one, so talk it through with us.
- Then we chatted about Course Hero, edtech and when it can — and may not! — make sense to raise venture capital.
- To close we dove into Alex’s SPAC story about the metaverse, touched on the Reddit IPO and made fun of whatever garbage this is.
