The Great American SPAC-Off

As both Opendoor and Desktop Metal approach the public markets on the wings of SPACs, we ask why. And why we have to keep talking about SPACs, which we do not want to do.

    A good broker, who gives me a great percentage of profit and I barely encounter any losses with his amazing strategy throughout my 6 weeks of investing with him. I first started investing with only $21,000 and l made a huge profit of $42,000,all thanks to Mr. Wilson james.

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.
