On this week’s dose, (1:58) we kick things off with a discussion on Vori, a startup looking to empower independent grocery stores with their efficient inventory management system, fresh off a $10M Series A. (5:01) Next, we work up a sweat with a breakdown on Sweatcoin, which just raised $13M in funding, as the most downloaded health and fitness app in the world looks to make the leap into Web3.

(17:35) Last, we wrap up this week’s dose with a discourse on Balance, a company hoping to modernize B2B trade by bringing archaic industries into the digital age, fueled by their recent $56M Series B.
