Equity’s 2023 predictions on the future of building, crypto and AI • TechCrunch

Hello and welcome back to Equity, the podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.

To end the year, we are bringing back our predictions episode with the entire Equity crew: Alex, Natasha, Mary Ann, Maggie, Theresa and Becca. Grace couldn’t make the mic but we have a feeling she’d agree with at least 2% of our predictions, anyways.

Let’s not ruin the episode, but to give you a taste, here are the topics we based our predictions on:

• Startup building and culture trends
• M&A and the return of secondaries
• The future of media and how social will shift
• Deep tech and generative AI
• And, of course, crypto

We end on an earnest note. Good luck to Alex as he embarks on parenthood, welcome to Becca, who will be joining Equity in the new year and, of course, thank you to all of you for sticking by us during this roller coaster of a year.

And with that, chat in 2023!
