Description
Alex had a lot of ground to cover from the weekend, so let's get started. Here's the rundown:The global stock market is mixed today, if leaning positive. Some concerns about global banks appear to be settling. In contrast, things are quiet on the crypto front.Salesforce is getting a reprieve from certain activist pressure after it took a cleaver to its staffing.The Silicon Valley Bank crisis is slowly coming to a close. TechCrunch has the latest on the sale of the former startup-friendly bank's commercial banking operations.In other tech news: France is cracking down on TikTok and other social apps, and some of Twitter's source code made its way onto GitHub.Finally, Turo is doing fine and could, ahem, drive us toward a reopening of the IPO market. Maybe more unicorns than we thought are going to be ok?How about we have a relaxed week? That would be nice. Something slow and calm to end the quarter? We deserve it, after all!For episode transcripts and more, head to Equity’s Simplecast website.

The rules of VC are being broken: Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast (now on Twitter!), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. As ever I was joined by TechCrunch managing editor Danny Crichton and our early-stage venture capital reporter Natasha Mascarenhas. We had Chris on the dials and a pile of news to get through, so we were pretty hype heading into the show. by Equity
