A $700M SAFE, IPOs are back, and how one venture fund is transcending bordersHello, and welcome to Equity, a podcast about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines.
This is our Friday episode, in which we dig through the most critical stories from the week and chat through new and emerging themes.
This week we had Mary Ann, Becca, and Alex aboard.
Becca of course is one of the two hosts of TechCrunch’s Found podcast, which talks to founders about how they built what they did, and how they did it!
Today on Equity, however, here’s what we got into:We are back Monday with more!
Welcome back to Found, where we get the stories behind the startups.
This week Becca and Dom are joined by Ben Goodwin, the co-founder and CEO of Olipop, a soda startup making low-sugar pop with probiotics.
Goodwin talked about his foray into the soda space after working in kombucha and discovering the positive impacts of paying attention to microbiome health.
They also talk about the questions they wished they dove into more, like what the process was like to get Olipop eligible for Medicare reimbursements.
Plus, they talk about their relationship — and lack thereof — to the soda category in general.

This week Becca and Dom are joined by Charlie Hernandez, the founder and CEO of My Pocket Lawyer, an online platform that is meant to democratize access to legal advice and guidance for those that might not be able to afford a lawyer.
Hernandez talked about why he decided to forgo a traditional career in law and use his degree instead to tackle this problem.
The hosts also touched on challenges that the startup might run into regarding gaining customer trust and their remaining confusion on how a product like this will make money.
