    Except for the fact that it’s dangerous and unregulated it’s good. ????

      What is dangerous and what is unregulated? Municipalities everywhere are waking up and regulating the scooter companies, and the scooters are not more dangerous than riding a bike for example.

    Interesting jab at Uber and Lyft at 0:36. Uber and Lyft’s platform model allows them to scale astronomically faster, every time these guys want to expand to a new city they need to purchase thousands of additional scooters. With that said, Dott is definitely more convenient for spontaneously renting a scooter than from a platform like Turo.

    Actually I like Dott because they are really here. I live in Munich. We saw many companies coming, some even gone again. We have bad scooters (from USA) and really nice scooters, that are high quality, good serviced, cheap and they are all European (Dott, Tier and Voi).

    Actually I know the warehouse for Munich and Augsburg. So they really are here and not just sending „Juicers“

The Singularity Isn’t the Real Reason Stripe Paid $7.5B for OpenRouter

Stripe claims “the singularity” is here, and justifies its $7.5B acquisition of OpenRouter. The truth, as the Equity podcast crew highlights, is much more practical, as unglamorous as token expense management may seem:

Why is the DOJ investigating Andreessen Horowitz over board seats? | Equity Podcast

Andreessen Horowitz has two partners sitting on the boards of companies that now compete with each other: Ben Horowitz at Databricks and Martin Casado at Fivetran. Nothing too scandalous on the surface, except ⁠the Department of Justice has reportedly been investigating the arrangement ⁠for almost a year, dusting off a 112-year-old antitrust law that’s rarely used against VCs. 

Board conflicts aren’t exactly new, and these companies weren’t necessarily direct competitors when a16z first invested in them. But as portfolio companies expand into each other’s markets, the DOJ’s scrutiny raises a much bigger question for venture firms: How do you manage board seats when the boundaries between your portfolio companies keep moving? 
 
On this episode of TechCrunch’s⁠ Equity⁠ podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into the a16z probe, what it could mean for VCs, and more of the week’s headlines.
