Join us for a live Q&A with Sapphire’s Jai Das today at 2 pm EST/11 am PST

Today's the day! In just a few hours I am chatting with with Jai Das, a managing director at Sapphire Ventures.

The conversation is part of the second season of Extra Crunch Live series that has seen all sorts of investors and founders join TechCrunch for a dig into their work.

Das' participation comes at the perfect moment: he invested early in MuleSoft, which sold to Salesforce for $6.5 billion back in 2018. Salesforce is expected to announce its purchase of Slack later today, perhaps before our chat. Either way, we'll ask Das about selling companies, selling them to Salesforce in particular and what we should take away concerning the enterprise software M&A market from the deal.

Here are notes from the last episode of Extra Crunch Live with Bessemer's Byron Deeter.

And as we noted last week, we will also dig into the role of corporate venture capital in 2020 and beyond, the state of early-to-growth stage investing as Sapphire leads rounds from Series A to Series C, API-led startups, along with the importance of geographic location in the pandemic for founding teams, and more.

It's going to be fun! And it's in just a few hours. So make sure that your Extra Crunch login works, hit the jump, save the time to your calendar and submit a question ahead of time if you want me to see your notes before we start. In the meantime, I'm going to find my most Zoom-friendly shirt and run through my intro a few times.

We're live in mere hours! See you soon.
