  • Amazon and SpaceX Accused of Trying to Demolish National Labor Law
    2024/02/21
    Amazon alleged in a legal filing published that the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional.
    SpaceX and companies that, like Amazon, have repeatedly faced labor law violations from the federal agency have recently made similar attacks that threaten national worker protections.
    Amazon claims that the NLRB’s structure is unconstitutional because administrative law judges are insulated from presidential oversight, thus violating the separation of powers. The company also argues against the structure of NLRB itself, as well as its ability to fine a company for unfair labor practices after a hearing, rather than a full jury trial.

  • Partech Closes Its Second Africa Fund At $300M+ to Invest in Series C
    2024/02/21
    Partech has closed its second Africa fund, Partech Africa II, at $300 million+, just one year after reaching its first close.
    Partech Africa, which originally targeted €230 million before its fundraising efforts started, solidifies its position as the largest fund dedicated to African startups.
    Amidst a backdrop of global VCs and institutional investors pulling back from Africa, Partech Africa’s recent fund closure is significant.
    The continent witnessed a notable decline in investor activity, with a 50% decrease in 2023 compared to the previous year, as highlighted in a Partech report.
    This retreat, influenced by global economic shifts and local challenges, translated into reduced venture capital inflows for African startups, totalling between $2.9 billion and $4.1 billion last year, down from $4.6 billion to $6.5 billion in 2022.
