Navigating Tariffs and Tech Earnings Amidst AI Optimism

Sapphire Ventures' Jai Das and WndrCo's Jeff Nykun talk with TITV Host Akash Pasricha about Figma's monster IPO and what it means for the market. We also talk with The Information's Cory Weinberg about whether the IPO window is truly open for other tech companies and Evan Tana from South Park Commons about "negative one to zero" seed investing. Finally, we get into Silicon Valley's new wellness obsession—microplastics—with our reporter Ann Gehan.
