Weekly Digest: Crypto, Funds, and obviously Data...
Recap of what's gone by in the startup ecosystem...
Hello Everyone,
In the Builders Club, we discussed financial companies accumulating crypto in their services - Be it PayPal launching a special checkout service, Fidelity setting up funds of crypto, or visa allowing to purchase bitcoin. Well, on the other hand, Indian startups are on a spree of raising funds - Byjus, FirstCry, and Uniphore technologies. On the other hand, Mobikwik faced a data breach raising concerns about data protection. Apart from that, we had Tanveer Singh wherein he discussed his entrepreneurial journey across various industries and his thought process behind the startup Sova.
