Heya everyone!
Welcome to another fantastic week in TechCrunch-land!
We've got auto finance company, Caribou, and angel investor Rachel Holt this Wednesday on TechCrunch Live explaining their early-round financing story plus the co-founder of Instacart, Justin Intal, chatting with us about his new venture on Found Live this Thursday.
If you run a startup that invents, develops, and builds new physical products, you won't want to miss our webinar on Thursday with Altair, Oracle for Startups, and Urwahn Bikes, as they share practical hands-on experience that will help you overcome your technology, business, and product development challenges.
And finally if you've been waiting to grab your seat to join Impossible Foods, Swell Energy, Nth Cycle and more at TC Sessions: Climate, now's the time for you to get your ticket before prices increase this Friday!
Have a fabulous week!
