Warburg Pincus participated in a $26M Series A in CrowdStrike in February 2012. Tiger Global participated in a $10M Series A in BelezanaWeb.com.br in May 2012 and a $8M Series A in Olacabs in April 2012.

Don't you think it is worthwhile for founders to know an investor used to do seed and follow on into the A round, but doesn't appear to be doing so anymore?

Author here. I have presented Crunchbase data as is without any "cleaning" but I assure you I have run a sanity check on the companies involved, and emails are pouring in from founders confirming they have experienced wasted time with inves

All of this data is from Crunchbase, and the column D "Date of Most Recent Series A Investment" indicates they participated in the round though they might not have lead.

Whether there is a series A crunch or not doesn't concern me (no negative tone intended, just want to clarify my intent), and I wasn't trying to validate that it exists with this data set. Raising a venture round is hard, and my hope it tha

It really pisses me off that they are publishing this - the news of Jody's death devastated a lot of people and I don't see what new information is being reported here. The Guatemala story is hearsay. This makes me so angry.

This might sound unexpected or unattractive at first but stick with me. A non-entry level job that requires intelligence, high judgement, and a lot of hustle is as an EA of a high level executive or the office manager of a tech startup. You

Ah my bad, should have been clear it was the Q1 part about IPOs and M&A that I didn't see reported in tech pubs. Will clarify.

Thanks, I just signed up and I hope I'll be able to use your data to support future blog posts. While I agree that a single quarter doesn't make a trend, according to this Crunchbase data there has been a steady decline over the past 10-12

Even if AngelList data were added I don't think it would account for more than 25,000,000 in a month (about 1% of the investment logged in December) which is a comparably small amount. The bulk of the money comes from Series A, B, C and lat

I absolutely agree, and hopefully there is a lag in investment reporting, but I find the fact that the NVCA issued this report to Reuters and it was picked up by the finance press by no one in tech strange as this is certainly of public int

When you bring up contracts, the small print matters. It's still not clear what the original terms were, and since I wasn't an Instacart Express users I didn't see the company's messaging, but I'd assume they're not out to screw people to t

I'm pretty sure that, like most sites, they have something in their TOS that says they reserve the right to change the terms of offering their service at their sole discretion. When you sign up for the service you are agreeing to the TOS ev

I learned PR so I'd never have people with this attitude representing my products to the press. It is a great case for working with someone dedicated and in-house as soon as you can afford it, or making it a portion of your community manage
