Equity Morning: Remote work startup fundings galore, plus a major court decision

text

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!
