Hans Tung: Tiger Global's public-private hybrid model is the future of VC
“But I mentioned that I think back in 2013, the model to look at will ends up being something what Tiger Global is building because it's multi-stage and it is a public fund that if you do that well, The profits of that can help to subsidize growth of their priv…”

Ehrenberg: Tiger Global and Coatue face horrific portfolio markdowns ahead

Michael Eisenberg: Massive funds like Tiger Global overwhelm down-market cap tables
“What we often don't pay attention to is if you've got the largest war chest at the table, you've got a shot to overwhelm the cap table in a down market. Meaning, if I'm Tiger and, you know, I'm taking a large round from Tiger at a company, then the company nee…”

Quist: Tiger Global will retrench and deploy less private capital annually
“I think they retrench probably at slightly smaller scale on the private side, the public book. I don't know. There aren't a lot of firm, not a lot of public books that have recovered from being down that far. But they're kind of an unprecedented institution in…”

Guo: Tiger Global's index-style early-stage strategy will perform poorly
“Short on a multi-stage fund. I think early in growth investing is more different than it appears. And so I think there are firms that like, you know, tried the early stage investing route with like a blanket based approach. And like, I don't know if that's goi…”

Hankes: Tiger Global Passed on Canva by Misapplying Enterprise Software Metrics
“When I was at Tiger, I flew out to Sydney and spent a bunch of time with the Canva team in person. And, you know, it's obviously now people know about it. It's a remarkable company at the time. It was much smaller than it is now. And At the same time, we were …”

Hankes: Asking Operator-Level Questions Fosters Deeper Founder Empathy
“The way we'd ask that same question is, if I'm a SDR on your sales team and I'm trying to qualify a prospect, you know, what am I looking for? At the end of the day, it's really the same question. You could even argue that the way we do it at Thrive is less ef…”

Harries: Current AI wave, not COVID boom, is right time for aggressive VC investing
“The wrong time to be the tiger global play of investing quickly was back in the COVID boom. The exact right time is now, when I think you have this unlock of capabilities with the AI models, which has meant new products which just couldn't exist before.”

O'Driscoll: Tiger Global and SoftBank are shadows of their former selves
