How are founders positioning themselves for the next 4 years?

Today, on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Margaux MacColl and Anthony Ha are digging into the latest tech and startup news from inauguration week in the U.S., including the new administration’s approach to startups and the potential transparency challenges that come with it. 

Listen to the full episode to hear about:

• TikTok’s rapid return and which apps are waiting in the wings – just in case.
• What is Stargate, and why are OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and others committing $100 billion to the project?
• Why some shareholders are walking away from Divvy Homes’ acquisition with nothing.
• The IPO market for 2025: Who’s planning to make their debut, and who’s reconsidering going public?

Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!
