Twitter\u2019s <\/a> CEO defends himself from activist investors, Google takes additional coronavirus precautions and a fizzy drink maker raises $30 million. Here\u2019s your Daily Crunch for March 6, 2020.<\/p>\n

1. Twitter CEO\u2019s weak argument why investors shouldn\u2019t fire him<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey <\/a> spoke yesterday at a Morgan Stanley conference, where he delivered remarks (also shared via Twitter\u2019s investor relations account) that responded obliquely to activist investor Elliott Management\u2019s efforts to pressure Twitter into a slew of reforms, potentially including replacing Dorsey with a new CEO.<\/p>\n

Among other things, Dorsey said he might not spend six months a year in Africa after all, claimed the company\u2019s real product development is happening under the hood and offered an excuse for deleting Vine before it could become TikTok.<\/p>\n

2. Google recommends Washington State employees work from home, citing coronavirus risk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The software giant has not closed its Washington offices outright, nor is it planning to make an official statement regarding the recommendation, but the news certainly points to a broader trend of serious precautions around the novel coronavirus outbreak. The move follows a similar decision by Lyft, which sent home employees in its San Francisco office.<\/p>\n

3. Spindrift, maker of fizzy drinks, has raised $29.8M<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spindrift, founded in 2010, is up against big players, like the beloved and decades-old LaCroix, another sparkling water brand. The company differentiates itself by emphasizing \u201creal fruit\u201d in its drinks \u2014 think cucumbers from Michigan, strawberries from California and Alfonso mangoes from India.<\/p>\n

4. Airbnb and three other P2P rental platforms agree to share limited pan-EU data<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The European Commission announced that it has reached a data-sharing agreement with vacation rental platforms Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia Group and Tripadvisor \u2014 trumpeting the arrangement as a \u201clandmark agreement\u201d which will allow the EU\u2019s statistical office to publish data on short-stay accommodations across the EU.<\/p>\n

5. SaaS companies flirt with correction territory as another wild week comes to a close<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stocks are set to fall further today, likely forcing shares in SaaS and cloud companies down yet again. After two wild trading weeks, the high-flying tech category is off over 9% from recent highs before the bell this morning, putting it close to correction territory.

6. Mark Cuban backs ChatableApps, developer of a hearing assist app that removes background noise<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The company has built a smartphone app that provides hearing assistance by removing background noise in near real time. Alongside auditory neural signal processing researcher Dr. Andy Simpson, the company\u2019s co-founders are Brendan O\u2019Driscoll, Aidan Sliney and George Boyle \u2014 the original team behind the music discovery app Soundwave.<\/p>\n

7. Pex buys Dubset to build YouTube ContentID for TikTok more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pex is a royalty attribution startup that scans social networks and other user-generated content sites for rightsholders\u2019 content, then lets them negotiate licensing with the platforms, request a take-down, demand attribution and\/or track the consumption statistics. Dubset, meanwhile, has spent 10 years tackling the problem of getting remixes and multi-song DJ sets legalized for streaming.<\/p>\n
