To reinforce his point, Tiger was faster than several European VCs who were still trying to get comfortable with a business after 3 months of questions.
β
Tiger does all their homework upfront, apparently outsources due diligence, and makes its mind up p.d.q.β
β
You'll see what they've been investing in on Dealroom.
β
We also found an excellent deep dive into Tiger's strategies in Everett Randle's article: Playing Different Games.β

Alerts With a Difference
β
We discovered an interesting and versatile alternative to Google Alerts.
β
βTalkwalker Alerts lets you monitor your brand name, competitors, events or any other topic across the web.
ββ
This tool consolidates all your social mentions including news platforms, blogs, forums, websites and even Twitter.
β
Like Google Alerts, Talkwalker sends notifications directly to your inbox.
β
βBut, there are differences.
ββ
As far as we know, Talkwalker is the only free marketing tool that includes results from social media.
ββ
This will help you to find out what matters to your target audience and tailor your marketing campaigns accordingly.
β
Plus, if you want only results from blog posts, for example, you can filter your sources.
It's easy to customize your alerts so that you receive only what matters to you.
β
If you want results in a language other than English, Talkwalker offers Alerts in 22 different languages.

a16z Enter the Jungle
β
Back in April, we reported that Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) was pouring more cash into the publishing space.
β
In January, they led a $100 million funding round for Clubhouse and, at that time, they indicated their plans to build a media outlet to provide "an optimistic look at tech issues."
β
βTrue to their word, a16z has launched its own media apparatus called Future.
β
βThey likely paid a fistful of cash to acquire Future.com, although the URL still directs to future.a16z.com.
β
a16z are looking to provide content that doesnβt currently exist in the market and that can be created from the βunique, interesting perchβ that the firm has, says Margit Wennmachers, the firmβs operating partner of marketing and Future.
β
Welcome to the publishing jungle, a16z.

β Snippets to Send You on Your Way
β
π· Ledger enters crypto history: Last week, the cryptocurrency hardware wallet producer, Ledger, announced a $380 million funding round.
This is the third largest raise in crypto and blockchain history. Paris-based Ledger has sold more than 3 million hardware wallets in 190 countries to date, and it has more than 1.5 million monthly users on Ledger Live. More on Forbes.
β
π· Porsche drifts into NFTs: German sports car giant Porsche has drifted into the non fungible token (NFT) market, with an announcement revealing the launch of an NFT collectible startup dubbed Fanzone.
They are not tokenizing their luxury vehicles at this stage, instead opting to focus on soccer-themed NFT collectibles.
β
π· Not small change: Tallinnβs cryptocurrency investing platform for retail investors Change Invest has closed a β¬3.7 million crowdfunding round that saw a buy-in from 50 private investors. Change reports that the round was oversubscribed within the first 48 hours, notably most being return investors.
With this raise, the startup now has a valuation of β¬175 million. CEO Kristjan Kangro reported the news in this tweet.
β
π· Own the web code: British inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee is selling the original code for the World Wide Web as a non-fungible token (NFT) with a starting bid of $1,000. Digitally-signed source code documents written by the computer scientist three decades ago will go under the hammer in a Sothebys' auction this month.
β
π· Bitcoinβs biggest corporate investor to buy more: Business analytics firm MicroStrategy, which owns more bitcoin than any other corporation in the world, has raised $500 million in bonds to acquire more of the world's largest cryptocurrency.
The firm reportedly received more than $1.5 billion in orders for the offering, which was announced Monday while bitcoin prices were at a one-month low of about $33,400. As of Monday morning, MicroStrategy owns about 92,079 tokens, worth nearly $3.8 billion.
