Hello! Please feel free to send in your bets for biggest GSV news splash - Most Accurate and Most Ridiculous will receive a shoutout and Carl Kasell’s voice on your home answering machine. On to the news! Funding / M&A / IPOs Chief raises $100M: Chief is a professional leadership network designed for women. They currently have 12K+ women in their network, with another 60K(!) on the waitlist. Assuming even a modest annual fee of $2500 puts Chief at $30M+ in revenue. As a theme, I am excited about businesses that replace the “old boys club” with more modern and inclusive models. Chief is on the premium end of this new model spectrum, but I could see a world where a variety of competitors emerge in different niches and at different price points
