Maybe you don’t think you need a real estate answering service. But every real estate agent has been there. You’re in the middle of back-to-back showings and your phone rings three times. You check as soon as you have a free moment, but there’s not a single voicemail. And when you call the numbers back, nobody picks up. You don’t know if the calls were for ready buyers or high-intent sellers who moved on to the next agent the second you didn’t answer. Alternatively, it could be another agent trying to accept or negotiate a fast-moving offer, and a slow…
As prediction markets offer contracts in more and more areas, are they starting to encroach on the role that opinion polls currently serve in politics? Pre-election polls are often referenced in the build-up to major elections, offering a flavor of the results that might be on the way. However, every political commentator will be quick to say they are not predictions – and indeed they are often proved wrong when the results actually roll in.

I recently reviewed a funnel report for an HR tech firm that revealed a familiar, haunting pattern: Thousands of qualified professionals reached the company’s site, hovered over key product pages, and then evaporated.
Vibe coding has taken the tech industry by storm, and it’s not just the Lovables and Replits of the world that are winning. The startups building the infrastructure behind them are cashing in too. Supabase, the open-source database platform that’s become the backend of choice for the vibe-coding world, raised $100 million at a $5 billion valuation just months after closing $200 million at $2 billion. But co-founder and CEO Paul Copplestone has a surprising strategy: he keeps turning down million-dollar enterprise contracts from deep-pocketed but demanding customers. He’s betting instead that if he sticks to his own product vision, the world will come to him. So far, he’s been right. Today on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Julie Bort sat down with Copplestone to explore Supabase’s rise and what…
