TechCrunch’s top 3

  • Support Elon: Like the sand in the hourglass, we learn more every day about who is about to invest in the offer to buy Elon Musk on Twitter. A filing on Thursday revealed nearly two dozen investors contributed money, including Sequoia Capital, Binance and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who had $1 billion with which he was doing nothing for the moment.
  • CVC can lead to mergers and acquisitions: Over the past year, we’ve seen a number of companies launch their own venture capital arms, and now it looks like all of that venture capital activity could be generating M&A activity. Why? alexander and Anna explore a few reasons, including falling public valuations and a stock market environment that causes some companies to hit the pause button on an IPO. They expect CVCs to start scouting start-ups for potential deals, perhaps starting with those on their cap table.
  • Shopify announces its next step with the acquisition of Deliverr: Shopify pulled the trigger on a $2.1 billion acquisition of Deliverr, leading us to wonder if this was Shopify trying to intrude into Amazon’s Fulfillment By Amazon territory , one of the reasons why some small businesses may have chosen the e-commerce company over other marketplaces. We also investigated whether this was a fair purchase price.


    • Startups and VCs

    Lynda did it in 2013, Kevin raised $65 million a few days ago, and now it’s Alan’s turn, with a medical one-stop-shop round of $193 million. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on in the world of startup naming, but that’s what we’re here for. We look forward to hearing from Wendy, Talesha and Fred next.

    Come with me, and you will see, a world of pure appreciation:

    Pitch Deck Teardown: Momentum’s $5 Million Pitch Deck

    Momentum, a B2B company that makes sales process automation software, accidentally convinced an early investor to lead its seed round before the founders had even created a pitch deck.

    “We showed up at a board meeting on Friday. On Monday, they were like, ‘Hey, do you have five minutes? We want to sit with you,” said CEO and co-founder Santiago Suarez Ordoñez.

    “They literally put a term sheet on the table with the exact terms we wanted.”
