The world’s only high-speed cooler

Electric skateboard maker Onewheel and durable container brand Yeti have combined forces to create a cooler that you can ride anywhere. Well, maybe not anywhere. And you might fall. And there’s only one, because it’s a joke. But it works, and be honest — you already want one, right? The TC Top Picks program showcases…

      Naumen You dummy, a 44-year-old is not a boomer, I’m generation X! And I’m already retired, I retired at age 42! So put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    Looks like it will hold 4 ice cubes and two drinks. Why spend that much for something like this?

    legit though, I can imagine this making real money: college, tailgating, golf, the beach. Put a speaker on it and you have the ultimate mobile party

      4 wheels might be safer and allow for more capacity though…

    I’d be a little worried about opening a beer can after 10 min ride in this cooler. Bottles seems not even an option. In my opinion, closing battery & electric engine in temp insulated container may cause a real problem to cooling effiency. Considering the price, which probably’s insanly high, I’d rather buy an electric bike and camping fridge :). Yeah, I’m old :D.

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.

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.
