  A billion-dollar fund to invest in startups isn't so rare in the tech world anymore. Lee Fixel's $1.3 billion fund Addition is rare in a few ways. 1) Fixel is the sole partner 2) he has a 15 year return horizon 3) he's his fund's largest LP https://www.forbes.com/...

  2) Allocating 1/3 of the fund to early stage venture is interesting - will be increasingly common for growth equity firms to have a venture allocation to improve later stage deal flow and decision making.

  A billion-dollar start-up fund isn't a rarity in the tech world, but being the sole partner and largest LP in your billion-dollar fund is. Here @Forbes profiles WashU Alum (BSBA '02) and investor, Lee Fixel, for having the Midas touch. https://www.forbes.com/...

  Investor Lee Fixel turned bets on Flipkart and Peloton into billions for Tiger Global. Now with his own $1.3 billion fund Addition, the low-profile VC is looking to do it again. https://www.forbes.com/...

  Fixel's new fund Addition will invest 1/3 in early-stage startups and 2/3 in growth-stage opportunities, sources tell @ForbesTech. His newest investment is Fauna, a database software startup that announced a $27M raise led by Madrona today. https://www.forbes.com/... tip @Techmem…

  Lee Fixel prefers to keep quiet — he gave @Forbes a statement — but we spoke to founders he's backed like Eventbrite CEO @juliahartz, Peloton CEO @keylargofoley and Redfin CEO @glennkelman, as well as investors in his fund, to learn how he operates. https://www.forbes.com/...

  @alexrkonrad I was an angel that led an angel group in an India based startup and learnt from the founder and CEO that Lee moved in quickly and drew a check. I guess his Contrarian, low profile, focused on work attributes helps him to see the signal beyond the noise. Good one Ale…
