      Free batteries for flashlights and illumination in the tent! Just make sure to cover the cameras with tape or with a paint spray.

    What’s stopping these things from being vandalized? A camera? I won’t be surprised when these things start going missing.

    Is it safe to delivery food with this robot and not being robbed the food?

    Do consumers need to buy food delivery insurance?

    Looks like another fee for the customer. And a good reason for DoorDash to keep pocketing tips.

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.
