SVAngel (Silicon Valley Ambassador)?
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 round investments, but the basic size of this company is comparable. There will be much more capital tomorrow.
CBInsight, 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 have 167 unicorn companies, nicknamed the Eight Elites of VC. The three most active ones are Sequoia Capital, Tiger Management and Silicon Valley Ambassador.
SVAngle is the most active round investor. Like its translated name, it is the true ambassador of 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 investors of this level. VCs are paying attention.
With 20,000 registered users a month, this achievement cannot catch the eye of these large institutions.
"Yes, I am Shi Dong, the founder of snapchat. I am honored to be valued by SVAngle, but unfortunately we have already finalized the final 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 its investment. Who would join the company so early based on the data from Snapchat? David Li once served as a capital and legal consultant at Google. During this period, he met Spiegel's mother, Melissa. Melissa called him two days ago, hoping that he could help her son. Today, he made this call entirely 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 SVAngle as the most prestigious investment company. When he heard that Li Jie personally rejected the other party's solicitation, he immediately stopped and sat across from him dumbfounded, half speechless. Come.
SVAngel’s investment is alas!
Doesn't he know what this means? With its investment, it will be easier to find investors in the future. SVAngel's recognition is equivalent to a business card. You see, XX has already invested in me. Why don't you follow suit? You must know that XXX is famous for his vicious vision. , it’s too late if you don’t vote again.
After Li Jie hung up the phone, Su Mingzhe couldn't hold back the overwhelming sense of responsibility in his heart. As his sister's boyfriend, he was half of the Su family in his eyes, so he naturally had the responsibility to give him a heads up.
"Dong, do you know what you just rejected?"
Su Mingyu and Wu Fei usually didn't pay much attention to these news. When Su Mingzhe 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: "SVAngle is a well-known VC in Silicon Valley. He likes to invest in start-ups the most. They invested in Titter and Airbnb (the largest online short-term house rental website in the United States) very early. Everyone in SVAngel Every investment will receive the focus of major VCs.
SVAngel called and said that they were very optimistic about Dong's company. Unfortunately, I just heard that Dong seemed to refuse. You must know that SVAngel's money is what many entrepreneurs dream of getting. Taking their money not only means that they have Money, and more importantly the support behind SVAngel. "
"Dong, it's such a shame that you refuse so directly!"
Li Jie smiled and said to Su Mingyu who looked worried.
"Don't worry, I know everything about your eldest brother."
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 did so, there would definitely be no problem. The trace of worry in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The money given in the round of investment was less and more shares were transferred. Li Jie knew that snapchat would become an exclusive company in the future. Why did he start attracting external capital so early? At least he would not introduce outside capital on a large scale until the A round. In the Pre-A round between the A round and the final 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 fishbone."
"No, no, Jihad, you have to go to the hospital. If not treated in time, it is very likely to cause trauma, infection, and even life-threatening injuries."
"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 fish bone kill me?"
…………
Just as the two sides were arguing about whether to go to the hospital, the restaurant staff came over with a pair of clever 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 looked at it with a flashlight 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 expensive in the United States? It's expensive. If you don't have medical insurance, just one illness can bankrupt most people. If you have medical insurance, then medical treatment 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 expenditures in the United States, and most of it is purchased by business owners for their employees.
Some are 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 cost you. .
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, there are many on the Internet The stuff is simply not believable.
