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

This week, Mary Ann, Kirsten, and Alex gathered to chat through a massive sheaf of news. A note before we get to the rundown: Reddit filed to go public after we had recorded this episode, so we didn’t get to talk about its IPO in this episode. We’ll definitely discuss its S-1 filing in due time so make sure to tune in again!

Here’s the rundown:

Match Group announced a deal with OpenAI to integrate their AI technology into their dating apps.
The announcement has been met with mixed reactions, with some criticizing it as merely a business decision with flashy AI technology on top.
This partnership raises questions about privacy and data usage in the dating industry.
