Hello and welcome to Equity, the startup business podcast, where we unpack the numbers and nuances behind the headlines.

Our Monday show covers the latest tech news from the weekend and what’s making headlines earlier in the week. Today we’re talking about the latest Meta fines, new chipsets, and a few starter tricks that caught our eye!

Elsewhere in chip country, Applied Materials is investing in the US and there are labor concerns about the sheer number of chip projects starting here at home. Patient21 raised a massive funding round for its healthcare software and services business, while Infinite Uptime raised more money for its “predictive maintenance solutions for machines”.
