Good morning and welcome back to
TechCrunch’s Equity Monday
, a brief jumpstart for your week.
This is a messed-up edition, because we are both hosting Equity Monday on Tuesday (because that makes sense) and our normal host Alex Wilhelm is on vacation, leaving (editor’s note: poor and massively underpaid) managing editor Danny Crichton to wake up early on the first day of the workweek to talk to himself in front of a microphone.
Here’s what we (okay I) talked about this morning:
-
We talked about remote work and an article I wrote called “Work From Home is dead, long live Work From Anywhere
”
-
Remote worker payroll startup Deel’s A16Z funding round
-
Facebook’s cost-of-living adjustment controversy
and remote workforce initiatives
-
An article I wrote on digital nomads a few years back called Digital nomads are hiring and firing their governments
-
Run The World’s second fundraise in two months
, this time from Founders Fund
-
The big court decision for Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou
tomorrow, who has been under house arrest in British Columbia since December 2018.
-
The UK’s reversal of a decision to include Huawei
in its 5G network plans, also referencing Scott Bade’s piece on Huawei and the West
.
-
And finally, getting ready to chat with Verizon CEO
(and TechCrunch’s ultimate head honcho) Hans Vestberg later today at 2pm EDT / 11am PDT since we can’t get enough about telecommunications.
Equity will be back Friday morning with more. Welcome to the week!
