Destroyer of tradition

Many traditional VCs, including A16z, employ a "heavy diligence and super hands-on" investment strategy, believing that carefully examining a startup's future potential and nurturing it with a long-term perspective will lead to increased value.

Tiger Global suddenly appeared on the scene, adopting the exact opposite investment strategy of "light diligence and hands-off," investing in startups almost daily. As a result, in Q2 2021 they surpassed other top-tier VCs and quickly rose to the top of the investment rankings. Surprisingly, they manage large assets with a smaller team than traditional VCs.

Will traditional VCs be destroyed by Tiger, or will they be able to find a way to coexist? For the answer, please see the report "VC Research - II."
