aVenture Investment Company ("aVenture") is an independent research platform providing detailed analysis and data on startups, venture capital investments, and key industry individuals. It is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, or investment advisor and does not provide investment advice or recommendations. The data provided by aVenture does not constitute recommendations or advice, whether by methodology, analysis, AI-generated content, or a statement written by a staff member of aVenture.

aVenture is not affiliated with any of the people, companies, organizations, government agencies, regulatory bodies, or investment funds we provide coverage for on this site unless explicitly stated otherwise. Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on information obtained from this platform. Links to external websites do not imply endorsement or affiliation with aVenture. Any links that provide the ability to invest in a primary or secondary transaction in a company are for convenience only and do not constitute solicitations or offers to buy or sell an investment. Investors should exercise heightened precaution and due diligence when investing in private companies, especially those not independently audited.

Content on our site may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or what are commonly called 'hallucinations' if generated in part or in full by AI / LLMs. The risk can also exist even when content is written by a human, as internal and third-party sources may also have inaccuracies for the same or different reasons. While we randomly audit a proportion of content, this is not exhaustive.

We recommend that an independent auditor be hired to verify the accuracy of the information before relying on it for any sensitive decisions.

Listen to the TechCrunch Live Podcast for top founders and investors giving actionable advice

Listen to the TechCrunch Live Podcast for top founders and investors giving actionable advice

Did you know TechCrunch’s weekly event series has a podcast? Aptly called The TechCrunch Live Podcast, these shows are condensed versions of the weekly event minus the video. Of course, if you prefer to watch the show, it’s available on YouTube right here.

Over the last month, we’ve had some amazing conversations with top founders and investors, all hosted by TechCrunch reporters. The show is embedded below and available on all podcast platforms.

Security Editor Zack Whittaker spoke with Sequoia partner Andrew Reed and Christina Cacioppo, co-founder and CEO of Vanta. The trio discussed why startups should focus on compliance early, the value of making SOC 2 easy and low-cost for companies, and what VCs are looking for in compliance-focused companies. Listen here.

Transportation reporter Rebecca Bellan interviewed Eric Tarczynski, Contrary Capital founder and partner, and AtoB co-founder Harshita Arora. The trio discussed red flags investors keep an eye out for, how the VC and startup world reacts to the Girl Genius versus the Boy Genius, the pain points of the trucking industry, and why a fintech product aims to solve them. Listen here.

Startup Battlefield Editor Neesha Tambe talked with Oma Fertility co-founder Kiran Joshi and Root Ventures Partner Chrissy Meyer talk about how Oma is building an impressive company to radically improve in vitro fertilization. It’s a fascinating conversation that’s personal for Neesha, too. Listen here.

I hope you give these episodes a listen. TechCrunch Live is in its third season now, and the event is always changing with new topics and guests. As always, the event is free to attend and participate. Each show records and broadcasts live most Wednesdays at 12:00 pdt. Register here for the event platform or just turn into the show (on YouTube, Facebook, and TechCrunch) at the right time.
