It’s A Sad State For Unicorns, AI Takes Over The World, And More

We love our numbers at Crunchbase News, from huge billion-dollar funding rounds to the price of a crypto token. In this new feature, we’re letting the week’s hottest numbers tell the stories.

This week we learned (sadly, what we already knew), professional writers are just as replaceable — or at least pretty close to replaceable — as anyone else. This, from the launch of ChatGPT. We also saw some companies lose a coveted spot on The Crunchbase Unicorn Board as the FTX fallout continued to wreak havoc on the startup world. 

But some bright spots prevailed, particularly funding to India-based fitness and wellness e-commerce site HealthKart and cybersecurity startup Drata which each snagged a decent funding round in a dark funding climate.
