There is officially only 8.3% left of the year. You know what that means! Holidays, cheer, and daydreaming about what shenanigans we'll get ourselves into in 2024. Yes, 2024, because clearly we're just going to skip past all of 2023. We're pretty excited for 2025 already, tbh. — Christine and Haje | | Image Credits: Sarah Silbiger/Bloomberg / Getty Images | | |
The TechCrunch Top 3 - Celebrity strong arm: Plant-based food brand Huel's newest capital raise comes with a side of Idris Elba, Christine writes. The actor and his wife are among a handful of new investors backing U.K.-based Huel, which offers protein powder, snack bars and hot lunch products. Oh, and Huel is now valued at $560 million. Not too shabby.
- Who's calling?: Why, it's smartphone re-commerce startup Badili, which raised $2.1 million in pre-seed funding to work with individuals and dealers to repurpose phones as demand soars across Africa for more affordable phones. Annie has more.
- Returning to its roots: Zoe made a name for itself during the global pandemic when it launched a COVID-tracking app. Now it has shifted back to its roots as a self-reporting tracker for personal nutrition and has a healthy $30 million chunk of change (and a $303 million valuation) under its belt to onboard over 250,000 people who have been patiently waiting for this moment, Ingrid reports.

For his second proptech investor survey in a three-part series, he interviewed: - Jake Fingert, managing partner, and Lionel Foster, investor, Camber Creek
- Anja Rath, managing partner, PropTech1 Ventures
- Othmane Zrikem, chief data officer, A/O Proptech
