Slate Auto, the EV startup backed by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has finally revealed the starting price of its electric truck: $24,950.

TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC evening in Los Angeles late last week brought together two of the more straight-talking investors working in AI right now.

Roughly 500,000 Americans suffer nerve injuries that require treatment each year, whether from an errant attempt to hack out an avocado pit or an unfortunate woodworking accident.
