Equity - A podcast by TechCrunch, Mary Ann Azevedo, Kell, Theresa Loconsolo, Rebecca Bellan, Rebecca Szkutak
This morning on Equity, not only do we have good news for crypto founders, we're also digging into Akamai spending $450 million for API security firm Noname, and billion dollar deals from Wiz and Wayve. We also saw Monzo snag $190 million more, bringing its full-year fundraising score to more than $600 million as TikTok fights a ban, and Oyo tries to raise new capital at a fraction of its prior worth. And to close, Haje is bringing Pitch Deck Teardown to Equity! We're kicking the segment off with a look at NOQX's deck, what worked, what didn't, and what's next.
