According to Channel News Asia, the report listed Tiger as one of several prominent investors who are in talks to join Thrive Capital, Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple, and Abu Dhabi AI investment firm G42 in the funding round. Khosla Ventures is also reportedly in the mix.
The information suggests that Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital intends to make a commitment of one billion dollars and will allegedly head the investment round.
