| Christine is in an airport lounge and Haje is perched on the corner of a cafe bench, as the TechCrunch team is in transit post-Disrupt today. We miss our work besties already (ð¯) and are hung over (metaphorically and literally) from an overabundance of wonderfulness this week. Enjoy Daily Crunch, and see yâall next week! Oh, and we know we mentioned this yesterday, but a good thing deserves to be repeated: A huge congrats to Minerva Lithium and their $100,000 Startup Battlefield win! â Christine and Haje |

The TechCrunch Top 3 - Holding back: Manish has some news from Amazon, which is saying that some hardware vendors are choosing not to form television partnership agreements with the delivery giant over fear of retaliation from Google.
- Get ready for a price hike: YouTube Premium is planning to raise prices â by $5 in some cases â for subscription plans in more countries, including the U.S., the U.K., Canada and Argentina, Ivan reports.
- What goes up must come down: Another one by our fabulous colleague Manish, who reports that shares of the Indian logistics company fell to an “all-time lowâ after reporting a not-so-svelte growth report.

Startups and VC Draymond Green, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors, says heâs working with well-known investors involved in the tech space. That wasnât a massive secret â Green has historically been quite public about his investments, like SmileDirectClub â but until TechCrunch Disrupt, he hadnât previously named his go-to investing partners, nor made explicit that heâs not planning to start a fund himself, Kyle reports. You can see all of Draymondâs chat (including some interesting conversation about that video thatâs been floating about) with Brian. When Parker Conrad founded Rippling in 2016, the HR company initially focused on the process of onboarding employees. It has since evolved, Mary Ann reports. Yesterday, at TechCrunch Disrupt, Rippling unveiled what Conrad describes as the âbiggest launchâ of his career â its new global payroll product. You know the drill â five more, count âem! No, seriously, count âem. Weâre very tired today and may have miscounted. |

Big Tech Inc. What do you say to the company that has nearly everything? Well, Google doesnât think it has everything when it comes to its presence in India and had some choice words for some of the countryâs regulators. In response to yesterdayâs $162 million fine, Google fired back at Indiaâs competition regulators, saying that the order is a âmajor setback for Indian consumers and businessesâ and that it âopens serious security risks for Indians who trust Androidâs security features.â Manish has more. We also canât ignore this juicy piece ofâ¦ð©that came in yesterday. With Elon Muskâs deal to acquire Twitter now seemingly approaching the end, Taylor reports that layoffs at the social media giant might now be larger than originally expected. She writes that cuts at Twitter could be up to 75%. For those counting at home, that is like 5,600 people. Not cool. And we have four more for you: |
