Increased investing pace
Growth equity investors Tiger Global Management and Insight Partners racked up the most portfolio companies for the first half of the year, according to Crunchbase data.
Tiger Global — whose breakneck investing pace this year we’ve written about previously — added 110 new portfolio companies. It has led 87 rounds in new and existing portfolio companies, averaging more than 14 rounds led per month. The firm has added 58 unicorn companies to its portfolio already this year.
Insight Partners added 71 new portfolio companies in the same timeframe, but led more rounds — totaling 82 for new and existing portfolio companies.
Venture firms Andreessen Horowitz, Accel and growth equity investor General Catalyst round out the top five active investors year to date.
