  • The Rise of Late-Stage Funding for European Technology Scale-Ups
    Blooming Late: The rise of late-stage funding for European technology scale-ups NOVEMBER 2019 Introduction Europe’s technology industry continues to grow up. Across the EU, Israel, Russia and Turkey, startup ecosystems are flourishing, expanding and - in a few places - maturing into veritable world-class hotbeds for innovation. Evidently, challenges remain and Europe will have to overcome many of them to even have a chance of staying competitive in an ever-evolving world - and with haste to boot. To continue scaling up and accelerate the maturation process of its key tech hubs, Europe has to play to its strengths and eliminate some of its inherent weaknesses to mitigate the risk of getting left behind. Two of these weaknesses have historically been the lack of major exits and late-stage financing rounds (€100 million and more) for Europe’s fastest-growing tech businesses as catalysts for growth. As we’ve detailed in previous reports on the influx of capital for Europe’s finest tech startups, there has been a tremendous increase in investment volume for early-stage and growth-stage companies in recent years, with no signs of a slowdown so far. Numbers only tell part of a story, but the rise in seed and growth capital (Series A-B-C) flowing to European tech businesses across the region paints a picture of a healthy collection of ecosystems with potential for further growth. But when it comes to really big rounds of financing, Europe hasn’t really seen many of those to date, certainly not in comparison to the US and, increasingly, China.

  • Distrokid Receives Investment from Leading Software Investor Insight Partners Valuing the Company at $1.3 Billion
    DistroKid Receives Investment from Leading Software Investor Insight Partners Valuing the Company at $1.3 Billion NEW YORK, NY – August 16, 2021 – DistroKid, the world’s leading distributor of independent music, announced today that New York-based global private equity and venture capital firm Insight Partners has made a substantial investment in the category leader that values the company at $1.3 billion. More than 2 million artists at every level use the tools and services that DistroKid provides. The company estimates that it distributes more than a third of all new music globally, paying artists 100% of their royalties. The investment is expected to fuel the continued development of DistroKid’s industry-leading suite of tools for musicians. “My goal since founding DistroKid was to build great things for musicians”, said the company’s founder and CEO, Philip Kaplan. “Our growth has been wild, but the mission hasn't changed. Most of all, we're incredibly honored and thankful for every artist who's chosen DistroKid to be a part of their journey. I’m excited to partner with Insight Partners as we continue building amazing things to help musicians and empower creators worldwide.” Insight Partners Managing Director, Deven Parekh said, “DistroKid is transforming the music industry with its laser focus on innovation, including the latest technology and engineering expertise. By helping developing artists with the same opportunities as superstars, DistroKid stands out in an industry traditionally known for being hard to break through. DistroKid has already become a household name among musicians of all levels and we’re thrilled to partner as they continue their rapid growth.” Silversmith Capital Partners, a Boston based growth equity firm that led the company’s first outside investment in 2018, will retain a meaningful ownership position going forward and remain on DistroKid’s board.

  • Alumni Report
    Alumni Career Plans Report Huntsman alumni hail from across the U.S. and around the world, but what defines them is their international perspective. They share an eagerness to learn about languages, cultures and ideas different from their own—qualities that subsequently distinguish them as leaders in a variety of fields in the private, public and non-profit sectors. Huntsman graduates pursue careers around the world in diverse areas such as finance, consulting, politics, public policy, law, marketing, medicine, diplomacy, non-profit management, public health, international development, and technology, and many are entrepreneurs. Huntsman alumni have become Rhodes, Marshall and Fulbright Scholars, and many attend graduate and professional school, usually after a few years of work. Soon after the program held its 20th anniversary, in 2019 we surveyed all Huntsman alumni to learn about their career paths and how their time in the Huntsman Program and at Penn and Wharton shaped their careers. This report presents data on alumni career plans up to five, 10, 15, and 20 years after graduation, including transitions from their first jobs and changes over time leading up to their current roles, as well as graduate or professional school attainment. Over 460 alumni completed the survey, for a 56% response rate, helping us share a comprehensive overview of the wide range of career paths and professional accomplishments Huntsman alumni pursue, and their global impact.
