Welcome to the聽小蓝视频色情网页版 News Weekend Update. An email form of this post went out Saturday morning. Happy reading!

I used to get frustrated when I left a tech networking event without a lead on a scoop or a new source. But last night, while sitting an off-the-record dinner with other empowering women, I realized that a successful night might be more about finding empathy for the other side than scoring the next exclusive.

While it feels like tech and media are often at odds, I feel thankful to be in a city that makes space for both sides to be vulnerable from time to time.

For more on the power of face-to-face interactions, read聽my final installment of the Loneliness In Tech series. It鈥檚 worth noting that the same power can be undermined through social media, as聽聽unpacked in her piece about聽a startup that is tackling cyberbullying.

On a lighter note,听聽wrote about funding rounds for聽cricket-inspired cereal,听chickpeas, and聽employee perk payments. Startups accelerated by nine-figure rounds included聽Rivian Automotive, a Michigan electric SUV and truck company, which landed $350 million, and聽Root Insurance, an Ohio insurance company, which landed the same sum. Also a ways away, we covered Brazil鈥檚 newest unicorn thanks to SoftBank:聽QuintoAndar.

Turning the tables, we covered two new funds this week: Bee Partners’聽$43 million pre-seed fund聽and Work Life Ventures’ new聽$5 million seed fund to invest in the next Superhuman.

Then we tackled WeWork,听from its up-and-down valuation, to its聽governance shakeup. With whatever energy you have left, read about聽its potential valuation haircut.

Despite WeWork, IPO momentum looks good.听聽covered SmileDirectClub, the controversial DIY teeth straightening company, and its聽less-than-shiny debut. She also jumped on聽Cloudflare鈥檚 early pricing days,听and Jason mapped聽Airbnb鈥檚 investment strategy聽as it crawls toward a filing.

I鈥檒l end on a human note. This week, I caught up with聽, the co-founder of Pinch, for Proust Goes Tech. Read her interview to find out聽how she thinks ugly shoes and hoodies fit聽into tech鈥檚 history.

Until next week,
Natasha
