The climate crisis has been largely caused by irresponsible adults in developed countries, but it’s the children of developing nations — like Zimbabwean environmental activist Nkosilathi Nyathi — that suffer from the most disastrous consequences. In a world where climate catastrophe feels almost unstoppable, we must involve everyone in finding solutions — especially young people, who have the most at stake. “My generation has more to offer than ever before,” Nyathi says. “We live climate change in a way our parents’ generation did not.”

    What a passionate young person!! I love seeing how many other Gen Z people are taking initiative in a way previous generations didn’t have the means to. And how he ended his talk. “We are the smoke that thunders.”

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.
