Summary List Placement Cybersecurity is blowing up as an investment sector, with 18 funding rounds of $100,000 or more since the start of 2020, amounting to more than $3.8 billion invested in all. Nothing illustrates the feeding frenzy better than two big rounds for young companies announced last week. Israeli cybersecurity startup Orca raised a $210 million Series C, scoring a $1 billion-plus valuation in just two years and dubbing itself the fastest-growing cybersecurity company ever in a press release. But before stories about Orca's meteoric rise even published, cybersecurity startup Wiz announced a $123 million round that cinched it a $1 billion valuation in just one year, racing past Orca's unicorn record. Welcome to a new era, where a formerly sleepy sector is raking in massive amounts of venture capital. According to the startup analyst firm PitchBook, there has been a greater number of $100 million cybersecurity funding rounds in the past 15 months than ever before. "Even five or six years ago there were really only a handful of multi-billion-dollar companies in cybersecurity – Checkpoint, FireEye, Palo Alto Networks — so the investor sentiment around cybersecurity was that it was an area of innovation and clearly important, but that companies can only get so big," CapitalG investor Gene Frantz told Insider.

Summary List Placement Of BlackRock's five hedge funds listed in HSBC's Hedge Weekly report, just one has been above average through the first two and a half months of 2021. The world's largest asset manager has its long-running flagship fund Obsidian, managing $1.6 billion, and the $1.5 billion Fixed Income Global Alpha fund both returning under 2% through the first two months of the year. Both the roughly $600 million Emerging Companies hedge fund and $262 million BlackRock UK Equity have lost money — 1% and 0.14%, respectively — through March 12. Only the $583 million 32 Capital Master fund from the world's largest asset manager has bested the average fund, which has returned 5.35% through February, according to the Hedge Fund Research. The 32 Capital Master fund is up nearly 9% through the end of February. BlackRock's hedge funds are not the only high-class options from broad asset managers that have been below average to start the year, according to HSBC's report. Janus Henderson's $5.2 billion Octanis fund is up 2.12% for the year through March 12.

Summary List Placement A rare opportunity presented itself to the CEO of tech analytic company Quantum Metric , Mario Ciabarra, when he crashed a party in Lisbon five years ago. Hundreds were gathered. And while Ciabarra wasn't on the guest list, he left the party as a mentee to the event's host, former Cisco CEO John Chambers. "Nothing that Mario does is an accident, and very rarely do things just suddenly happen," Chambers, 71, told Insider. "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity." For years, Chambers has regularly fielded a mountain of requests for mentorship and business advice, he said. But Ciabarra's bravado and professionalism put him ahead of the pack. "I remember him laughing and pounding his foot so loud that the entire party stopped and everyone looked over," Ciabarra, 42, said. "We laugh a lot. We enjoy each other's company and it was just a foundation for the beginning of a relationship." With Chamber's guidance, Quantum Metric has grown from a small Colorado Springs tech startup of six people to a $1 billion valuation .
