Exploring AI Innovations and Celebrating Milestones

This is our Wednesday episode, in which we dig into critical startup news to stay abreast of what founders and venture capitalists are working on.

Today on the podcast, we got through the following:

• New data from Carta digging into startup compensation, and how it is changing;
• How one startup is profiting off death, but in a way that is actually great;
• Bear Robotics, and its killer new round for cute serving robots;
• New stuff from BlueSky (all about moderation and choosing one’s own adventure) and Brave (getting a boost from the EU’s DMA);
• And finally, some venture capital news that was a legit surprise.
