Good early morning good friends, and invite back to A Technology News Room's Equity Monday, a short-form audio struck to start your week.Before we jump into today's program, do not forget that the long-form Equity that we have actually done for more than 3 years still drops on Friday.
Last week's was a specific delight, so ensure you're caught up.
Ready? Let's go.This weekend was busy, with Quibi releasing, folks in the UK attacking 5G towers and Skype trying to take some of Zoom's thunder.
News was controlled, as constantly, by COVID-19, this time leading to a stock market bump as some information from the disease appeared to take a short breather with-- depending upon which tracker you favor-- fewer folks contracting the infection in the last 24 hours than the day prior; financiers are hunting for any favorable signal to trade on, which appears to have been enough.What's turning up today? Not earnings, or a minimum of not the sort of revenues reports that we care about.
Instead, we're keeping eyes peeled for Q1 VC information and economic information from the United States.
Here in the States Friday is off, remember, so this is a brief week.Next, two endeavor rounds: Valispace, a Germany-based start-up that likewise has folks in Portugal, raised EUR2.2 M recently led by SIGN UP WITH Capital.
The startup calls itself Github for hardware, which A Technology News Room summarized as a cooperation platform for engineers, permitting them to develop better satellites, airplanes, rockets, nuclear blend reactors, automobiles and medical devices with a browser-based app.And Vertical Future just raised 1.1 M.
It's doing vertical farming, a topic that I've checked out every few years and now appears to really be a thing! That's exciting.
Vertical Future raised a bigger round in 2015, and is generating food today in production sites.Finally, we close with a question: The number of more startups are going to die this year, compared to 2019, and what do their deaths imply for personnel and investors alike? Will the end of so-called traveler money harm young business or will it merely choose the silly?Equity drops every Friday at 6:00 am PT, so subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify and all the casts.
