Tiger Global reported an “active year with positive progress” across its venture capital PIP business. Throughout the year, the firm identified high-conviction new investments, especially in artificial intelligence. Tiger Global also concentrated its VC portfolio via follow-on investments in outperforming holdings and by slashing exposure to lower-conviction companies.
