This investment company seems a bit familiar. By the way, this company was included in Snapchat’s Series B financing. This company is the same as Li Jie’s domestic Tomorrow Capital. It mainly makes angel round investments, but the basic size of this company is comparable.
There will be much more capital tomorrow.
Sight, a world-renowned venture capital research institution, once released a list of holdings of unicorn companies (generally refers to companies in the investment community with a valuation of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars and a relatively short time that has not yet been listed. Shorter generally refers to companies within ten years.
), the top eight investment institutions own 167 unicorn companies, nicknamed the VC Eight. The three most active ones are Sequoia Capital, Tiger Fund and Silicon Valley Angels.
SV Angle is the most active angel investor. Like its translated name, it is a true angel for startup companies. The company's main investment direction is software and mobile Internet.
This call was somewhat beyond Li Jie's expectations. He expected that an investor would call, but he didn't expect it to be this one. Judging from the current market performance of the company, it is logically impossible to attract such investors.
level of VC attention.
With 20,000 registered users a month, this achievement cannot catch the eye of these large institutions.
"Yes, I am Shi Tiandong, the founder of snapchat. I am honored to be valued by SV Angle, but unfortunately we have already finalized the angel round of financing."
"oh?"
There was clearly something unexpected on the other end of the phone. David Li had no idea how this company got angel investment. Who would join the company so early based on the data of snapchat? David Li once served as a capital and legal consultant at Google.
During this period, he got to know Spiegel's mother, Melissa. Melissa called him two days ago, hoping that he could help her son. Today, he made this call purely for Melissa's sake.
"In this case, then there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Well, there is a chance to cooperate."
Su Mingzhe has been working in Silicon Valley for many years. Of course he has heard of SV Angle as the most prestigious angel investment company. When he heard that Li Jie personally rejected the other party's solicitation, he immediately stopped and sat across from him dumbfounded. He said for a long time
Speechless.
SV Angel’s investment is alas!
Doesn’t he know what this means? With its investment, it will be easier to find investors in the future. SV Angel’s recognition is equivalent to a business card. You see, XX has already invested in me, why don’t you hurry up and follow suit?
You must know that XXX is famous for his sharp eyesight. It's too late not to vote for him again.
After Li Jie hung up the phone, Su Mingzhe really couldn't suppress the overwhelming sense of responsibility in his heart. As the boyfriend recognized by his little sister, he was half of the Su family in his eyes, so he naturally had the responsibility to give him a heads up.
"Tiandong, do you know what you just rejected?"
Su Mingyu and Wu Fei usually didn't pay much attention to these news. When they heard Su Mingzhe say this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Su Mingyu couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows, wiped his mouth and said seriously: "SV Angle is a well-known VC in Silicon Valley. He likes to invest in start-ups the most. They invested in Twitter and Airbnb (the largest online short-term house rental website in the United States) very early. SV Angel's
Every investment will receive the focus of major VCs.
SV Angel called to explain that they are very optimistic about Tiandong's company. Unfortunately, I just heard that Tiandong seemed to refuse. You must know that SV Angel's money is what many entrepreneurs dream of getting. Taking their money is not only
It only means having money, but more importantly, the support behind SV Angel.”
"Tiandong, it's such a pity that you refuse directly like this!"
Li Jie smiled and said to Su Mingyu who looked worried.
"Don't worry, I know everything your brother said."
Su Mingzhe looked surprised and said in confusion: "Since you know, why do you still refuse?"
Li Jie waved his hand nonchalantly: "I have planned all this a long time ago. Gold will shine wherever it is. I don't need someone's endorsement."
Su Mingyu nodded heavily. Of course she trusted Li Jie unconditionally. Since he said so, there must be no problem. The trace of worry in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The angel round investment gave less money but transferred more shares. Li Jie knew that snapchat would become an exclusive company in the future, so why did he start attracting external capital so early? At least he would not introduce external capital on a large scale until the A round.
In the Pre-A round between the A round and the angel round, he plans to be led by his own Tomorrow Capital, and then bring in several other VCs.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
At this moment, a young man at the next table held his throat and coughed vigorously. The veins on his face popped out because of too much exertion, and his expression was very painful. The companion who came with him immediately panicked, thinking that the other person's
The trachea was stuck, so I quickly took out my phone and dialed 911 for help.
The boy with a very painful expression immediately reached out and grabbed the hand of his companion who was making the call.
"Don't, don't, don't call 911, I'm just stuck on a fish bone."
"No, no, Jihad, you must go to the hospital. If not treated in time, it is likely to cause trauma, infection, and may even be life-threatening."
"Do you want to kill me, Laura? You clearly know that I have recently lost my job and have no money to buy medical insurance. I really obey you. How can a small fish bone kill me?"
…………
Just as the two parties were arguing about whether to go to the hospital, the restaurant staff came over with a pair of small tweezers in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He walked up to Jihad expressionlessly and pinched his cheeks.
"Open your mouth!"
"ah!"
The staff member took a flashlight and looked at it, and saw a flash of silver light. When the tweezers were taken out of the throat, there was a milky white fish bone on it.
"alright!"
The staff left without waiting for the other party to thank them. Many of these foreigners had eaten freshwater fish for the first time. This kind of thing was so common in their restaurants that the staff in the restaurant had developed proficient fish bone removal skills.
.
"Am I healed? Haha, I'm healed, I don't need to go to the hospital!"
…………
Situations like this are not uncommon in the United States. Is medical care in the United States expensive? It is expensive. If you do not have medical insurance, a simple illness can bankrupt most people. If you have medical insurance, then seeing a doctor
It will be very cheap.
American medical insurance can be roughly divided into three sectors. The most important one is commercial medical insurance. The government only regulates but does not contribute funds. It accounts for the largest share of medical expenses in the United States, and most of it is purchased by business owners for their employees.
A small part of it is personal insurance sold directly by insurance companies. Obviously, the latter is more expensive, so in the United States, if you lose your job and you can't afford insurance, you'd better pray not to get sick, otherwise the medical expenses will teach you how to behave.
of.
Su Mingyu stayed in the United States for a period of time, and she saw this kind of situation a lot. The experience during this period made her deeply understand the truth, that is, whether the moon in foreign countries is round or not, you still have to experience it personally to know. Many people on the Internet
