Hello, and welcome back to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. This is our Monday show, where we dig into the weekend and take a peek at the week that is to come. We’ll talk more about it Wednesday, but this is Y Combinator Demo Day week, so expect a deluge of startup news.

We also got into this super-neat startup round concerning trucking, TechCrunch’s latest cybersecurity scoop, which is big news for AT&T customers, and even upcoming changes to the Android podcasting ecosystem that will see YouTube Music gain even more prominence inside of Alphabet’s consumer empire. Hit play, and let’s have some fun!
