This week聽听丑颈驳丑濒颈驳丑迟别诲听amazing immigrant founders, covered聽treadmills, and pulse checked聽upcoming IPOs, so let鈥檚 get right into it.

Starting with the big one, Peloton, an exercise equipment company which sells 鈥渉appiness,鈥 filed its S-1. Here鈥檚 a聽deep dive on the big numbers, and then聽skim this for talking points聽so you sound smart at your next networking event.

After that, keep reading along with our piece on how聽early-stage international transportation startups aren鈥檛 intimidated by Uber. And in an odd turn of events,聽a 7-year-old startup bought Lord & Taylor, a 193-year-old department store chain.

Moving to some nine-figure funding rounds,聽Enjoy raised $150 million听补苍诲听ThoughtSpot got to unicorn status聽with its $248 million Series E. Smaller rounds include聽The Long Term Stock Exchange raising $50 million听补苍诲听Ethos raising $60 million, completing its third raise in 14 months. More, as always, in聽Last Week In Venture.

We switched sides of the table with a few new international funds this week: to invest in homegrown startups, Latin America鈥檚 Kaszek Ventures聽closed two funds totaling $600 million, and Israel鈥檚聽F2 Capital raised $75 million for its second fund.

Finally, jokes aside, for those of you that do have Monday off: I dare you to not be online all day. As I unpack in my聽second edition of the Loneliness In Tech series, using social media, at a certain point, makes us more lonely, not more connected.

We all stare at screens enough already, so take advantage of a couple face-to-face moments with friends and family instead.

Until next week,
