Becca of course is one of the two hosts of TechCrunch\u2019s Found podcast, which talks to founders about how they built what they did, and how they did it!<\/p>\n<p>Today on Equity, however, here\u2019s what we got into:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deals of the Week:\u00a0<\/strong>Mary Ann wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/03\/18\/y-combinator-digital-bank-onyx-private-shuts-customer-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">talk about Onyx<\/a>, a neobank aimed at wealthy early-to-middle career adults. It\u2019s pivoting to B2B and is not, despite what the Internet said, dead. Alex wanted to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/03\/20\/montauk-climate-launch-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">discuss Montauk Climate<\/a>, a climate incubator set up by the former co-founder of Casper and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/wonder-marc-lores-food-delivery-startup-raises-700-million-dc5e1e60?st=ta58opjz1721fwb&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the recent Marc Lore\/Wonder deal<\/a>. The climate isn\u2019t doing well, in case you\u2019ve missed the news. So, projects like this are welcome. And <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/03\/19\/ethos-fund-vietnam-us-tech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Becca brought Ethos Fund to the table<\/a>, allowing us to discuss cross-border investing.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/19\/business\/saudi-arabia-investment-artificial-intelligence.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The upcoming Saudi AI push<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>What has lots of capital and is ready to pour it into AI investments? Sure, your local venture scene but also the Saudi Arabian government. Notable venture funds have been flying to the Middle Eastern state to raise capital, but perhaps in the future the capital will come for them.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/03\/18\/startup-founders-vcs-preferred-rigths-blocking-ipo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How some VCs are holding back an IPO rush<\/a>:<\/strong> A recent Becca investigation unearthed an interesting finding, namely that it may not be the fault of late-stage founders that their companies are not going public. Their backers might actually be the ones holding the door closed.<\/li>\n<li>Oh, and Reddit started trading during our recording slot, and <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/03\/21\/reddits-ipo-shares-soaring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it\u2019s doing well<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are back Monday with more!
