Here\u2019s hoping that after Ibotta and Rubrik get out the door, more IPOs follow.\n\nAlso on the show today was a grip of venture capital news. Bay Bridge Ventures is raising a $200 million climate fund \u2014 it has lots of good company there, given rising LP interest in climatetech more generally \u2014 and a SpaceX alum is building a new VC firm that we covered.\n\nTo close, the massive, gobsmackingly big $7.2 billion worth of new funds from a16z. We dug into their breakdown on the podcast, but the short version is that it appears that the venture slowdown has not managed to impede the venture firm\u2019s golden touch when it comes to fundraising. Hit play, let\u2019s have some fun!
