Uber’s financials, Qualtric’s $8B exit and what’s going on at WeWork

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.

This week we had the good Connie Loizos on the breath, we had Danny Crichton on the tusk from New York, I was in the studio chiefly spoofing up one lung or the other and we had Matt Howard of Norwest Venture Partners.

And so, with inhale in the Bay and snow in the Big Apple, we dug into which is something we compassion. Namely, dollars.

Uber was first in line due to the scale of the end result. The conglomerate disclosed its third-quarter develops, including braking emergence( in percentage terms ), steep loss on a GAAP basis( GAAP means that all costs were counted) and adjusted losings that fell in the period.

So, a mixed bag. I located it to be somewhat negative( more of my opinion here ); special guests was more bullish. Feel free to write in and tell us know who you think is right.

Next up was the big deal of the week, effectively. The Qualtrics departure to SAP for$ 8 billion in currency, a portion of which it borrowed, as we point out. The spate means that the company didn’t actually go public( boo ), but it still made a hell of a splash all the same.

I chit-chat with the CEOs of SAP and Qualtrics, and have the greenbacks now if that’s useful.

Finally, we riffed on the latest WeWork figures, which include a$ 3 billion authorize and a massive third-quarter loss. WeWork lost more fund in the quarter than it generated in revenue. That is, as “theyre saying” , not great.

Many companies lose fund while originating and work out great! But for every Facebook, there are a few Snaps, and I can’t tell which feature of the coin WeWork lands.

Oh, and this Instacart narrative happened. What’s up with that?
