When was the last time you worked out your soul?

Hello and welcome back to

Equity

, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast (now on Twitter!

), where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.

The whole crew was back today, with

Natasha

and Danny

and I

gathered to parse over what was really a blast of news. Lots of startups are raising. Lots of VCs are raising. And some unicorns are shooting to go public. It’s a lot to get through, but we’re here to catch you up.

Here’s what we got into:

  • A Media Roundup: The Juggernaut raised $2 million

    in a round that we found to be both cool and timely. The news of a media startup raising money was paired with rumors of an exit for email media darling Morning Brew

    for a price-tag of up to $75 million. Undergirding each story was recent reporting concerning the revenue success that Axios is enjoying

    . It’s nice to report on some media news that isn’t fresh layoffs.

  • A cluster of wellness startups raising capital: If you like to work out your mind and body, it was a good week of news for you. Calm is looking for new funds

    at a frewh, higher valuation. TechCrunch has coverage here

    . Coa did raise, adding $3 million to its coffers

    for mental health group classes. And Playbook put together $9.3 million for its fitness instructor platform

    .

  • VCs raised lots: It’s a hot time for VCs themselves to raise money, with OpenView

    , Canaan

    , True Ventures

    , Lead Edge Capital

    , First Round

    , and Khosla

    either closing rounds or announcing new fundraises.

  • Also on the VC beat: Terri Burns was made an investing partner at GV

.

  • Finally, we got into the recent GetAround funding

    and turnaround story, which segued us into Airbnb’s own recovery

    . TechCrunch has more here

    .

And with that, we’re off until Monday morning. Chat soon, and stay safe.
