Today on Equity, we kicked off our recording with a breaking story from Cruise which announced it will be cutting 24% of its staff. Steering away from layoffs, we turned to Prevu's $6 million Series A and why Verve Motion just raised $20 million for supportive lifting suits, what's bubbling up in the French venture ecosystem, and how a few mega-deals are changing the numbers for AI.
