- Skydio raises $170 million, a huge sum for the drone company. Will its market prove large enough, quickly enough for the company to stay VC-ready?
- The UK government is putting together a venture fund of sorts? That’s mostly cool.
- Klarna raises lots of money at a new, bigger valuation. More here on its industry.
- Space SPAC one, space SPAC two
- And then on the funding round side of things, here’s Axonius’ very interesting round, and this fun pre-seed deal from Europe!
- And finally we chat Oscar Health, a company whose IPO is all sorts of confusing.
Early Stage is the premiere ‘how-to’ event for startup entrepreneurs and investors. You’ll hear first-hand how some of the most successful founders and VCs build their businesses, raise money and manage their portfolios. We’ll cover every aspect of company-building: Fundraising, recruiting, sales, legal, PR, marketing and brand building. Each session also has audience participation built-in – there’s ample time included in each for audience questions and discussion.
