Navigating Growth and Challenges in Venture Capital

This week, Natasha, Mary and Becca got into:

• For our deals of the week, we talked about why tracking app Strava's purchase of Fatmap, a high-resolution 3D global map platform for the great outdoors, seems like a smart move, how Wasted wants to make port-a-potties less gross and more useful and All Raise CEO's decision to step down after less than one year in the role.
• Then we got into how the feds are scrutinizing Google's alleged ad tech monopoly and the implications for startups, before moving into different ways the downturn is impacting the way companies are hiring.
• And lastly, we discussed femtech's very good 2022 (even though we all agreed we don't love the term 'femtech').
