Tim Connor shared thisAn excellent combination. Congrats Manish Sood and the entire Reltio team!Tim Connor shared thisExciting portfolio news: SAP has announced an agreement to acquire Reltio. As enterprises race to adopt AI, one constraint keeps surfacing: the data layer isn’t ready. More than a decade ago, Reltio founder Manish Sood saw this coming. After years working with complex enterprise systems, he recognized that traditional approaches to data management weren’t built for a world defined by constant change. Reltio was his answer. The company pioneered context intelligence: the ability to continuously harmonize, unify, and enrich data in real time, giving organizations the trusted data needed to power modern applications and agentic AI. Today, more than 2,000 organizations globally rely on Reltio across industries like healthcare, financial services, and life sciences. This outcome reflects years of disciplined execution. Proud to have partnered with Manish and the entire Reltio team on this journey. Congratulations to all!

Tim Connor shared thisExciting to see two portfolio companies join forces. Congrats Tim Doyle, Benny Kleist and Andrew Dudum and the entire Euc and H&H teams!Tim Connor shared thisEucalyptus has signed an agreement to be acquired by hims & hers. When the deal closes, we plan to build the best consumer health business in the world. I'll oversee the company’s international business. I think back to the launch of Hims & Hers as really the beginning of the patient-led transformation that healthcare has been undergoing for the last decade. Seeing a website that felt aspirational, low friction, clearly explained - with a payment model that was approachable - felt revolutionary at a time when the US healthcare system was everything but that. When we were launching Eucalyptus, we drew inspiration from Hims & Hers. So this feels full circle. As we look forward, this patients-first era of healthcare is only accelerating. It's become abundantly clear that in the future, patients will have a relationship with one or many digital clinics where they understand their own health data through regular tracking and diagnostics, use that information to interact with a variety of practitioners, and then take action across a wide range of their healthcare decisions. Hims & Hers is the best-positioned business in the world to be the home for consumer health. They've set the bar for what it means to be focused on the patient for the last decade — and as we accelerate toward the future, being part of what is fast becoming the leading global consumer health platform is extremely exciting. Of course, this is also a moment to look backward and say thank you - to our investors, staff, clinicians, partners and our patients. Eucalyptus started seven years ago as a bet that generalist talent from Australia could build a globally competitive consumer healthcare business. In many ways, this is the achievement of that aspiration. And as we look forward, our team now has the opportunity to be part of building one of the great healthcare businesses in the world — one that transforms hundreds of millions of lives.

Nick is known for his tireless work ethic, strong sense of ownership, and the deep trust he’s built with founders. We’re excited to recognize his leadership with this promotion.

His thoughtfulness, precision, and attention to detail show up across everything he touches, from evaluating new investments to hands-on portfolio support.

Tim Connor shared thisWe've had a busy year at NewView!Tim Connor shared thisIn 2025, tender offers shifted from a niche financial tool to a core part of how private companies operate. At NewView, we led or participated in 7 tender offers this year. These transactions provided liquidity to more than 1,000 employees, minting 44 new millionaires in the process (pre-tax). The real impact goes beyond these numbers. Liquidity events can change lives and reshape company cultures. Employees can buy their first homes. Pay off student loans. Start saving for their child's education. We believe this is the emerging standard: tangible value, long before the IPO.

Tim Connor shared thisThis is a great tutorial from my colleague Jamie for venture investors considering if and how to use secondary strategies for active portfolio management.Tim Connor shared thisOver the past year I’ve spoken with hundreds of GPs about liquidity planning and portfolio management. The firms are different but the same core challenges come up again and again. • How do we deliver DPI without compromising long term value? • How do we choose between structures that each carry real tradeoffs? • How do we work through company and co-investor rights? • And how do we keep alignment with founders and LPs while doing it? Across these conversations it became clear that GPs aren’t short on options. What’s missing is a simple, first principles approach that starts with what you’re solving for and then helps determine the structure that best fits. The market is active but complex. Most secondary strategies are bespoke, pricing is often opaque and processes often vary by counterparty. That’s why NewView Capital developed The GP’s Guide to Venture Secondaries. It focuses on clarity, judgment and offers a practical way for fellow GPs to match the solution to the objective. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eMxCtTBn

Tim Connor shared thisGreat to be back at Harvard Business School with Professor Sabrina Howell. As always, the class did an excellent job breaking down the NewView Capital case study, analyzing the growing venture secondary market and NewView's strategy. No shortage of input on the penultimate question in HBS case studies, "What should NewView do next?” Thanks to Sabrina and the Entrepreneurial Finance class for inviting me to join.

What a busy week with team meetings, a board meeting, Q4 earnings call, and our company town hall. Special shout out to Melinda Wilson for her outstanding customer story presentation. I was delighted to see many furry friends around the office too. A few highlights included mission-critical meetings with Archie (Daschund), Lily (Golden Lab), and Wellington (Chocolate Lab)! What office isn't infinitely better with some happy-go-lucky dog energy? Great to see everyone.

Tim Connor liked thisTim Connor liked thisStrictly a personal statement As an American who believes in the founding principles of this nation — diplomacy, rule of law, and the dignity of human life — I am appalled by the statement attributed to President Trump on April 1st threatening to bomb Iran "back to the Stone Ages." This is not strength. This is not leadership. And it is emphatically not American. America was built on the idea that might does not make right. We crafted international institutions, signed the UN Charter, and championed diplomacy precisely because we understood that threatening to annihilate nations is the language of tyranny, not democracy. The Strait of Hormuz is a matter of international law and multilateral negotiation — not a pretext for promising mass destruction to a country of 90 million people. Words like these don't make America safer. They inflame tensions, isolate us from allies, and hand adversaries a propaganda gift. More than that, they are a moral disgrace — uttered in our name, on our behalf, by someone who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to issue genocidal ultimatums. I refuse to accept that this represents who we are. And I expect every elected official, regardless of party, to say the same.

Tim Connor liked thisCongratulations to Max Junestrand and the Legora team! An impressive milestone that reflects the caliber of both team and product.Tim Connor liked thisI want to take a moment to recognize a gravity-defying achievement by the entire Legora team. We have grown from $1M to $100M in annual recurring revenue in just under 18 months. In this time, we've grown into a truly global company with over 400 colleagues - and built the platform where legal work happens. Powering more than 1,000 teams worldwide. It is all about the people, and I couldn’t be prouder of the Legora team and thankful to our customers and partners. This achievement is as much yours as it is ours.

Tim Connor liked thisTim Connor liked thisDid you hear it? Breaking: SAP plans to acquire Reltio and honestly, this one feels inevitable. Just four weeks ago, I was at Reltio’s Data-Driven conference, and something stood out immediately. The conversations were not about dashboards or pipelines. They were about fixing the real problem behind AI, which is fragmented and unreliable data!!!! I also spent time with Manish Sood, Founder and CEO, Reltio there, and what impressed me most was the clarity of vision. Reltio was never trying to be just another MDM company. They built a system that connects data across the enterprise in real time, adds context to it, and makes it usable for applications and AI. That is a very different approach from how most of the market still thinks. And that is exactly why this move by SAP makes so much sense. SAP has always been the backbone for enterprise systems of record. But the shift we are seeing now is bigger. Enterprises do not just need systems that store data. They need systems that make data usable across environments, across clouds, and now across AI-driven workflows. Reltio fills that gap. It brings a layer of trusted, connected data that sits across both SAP and non-SAP systems. That is what enables real decisioning, real-time insights, and more importantly, AI that actually works in production. From my experience, this is what makes Reltio stand out. They are not just solving data quality. They are solving data usability at scale. This is not just an acquisition. It is SAP making a very clear statement about where it is heading as a company. And personally, I am happy to see this happen. When you meet the team and understand what they have been building, you want them to win. I am happy to be part of this journey in some way!!!! #data #ai #reltio #sap #theravitshow

Tim Connor liked thisTim Connor liked thisYesterday I had the privilege of spend the day with a group of our customers across Oil & Gas, CPG/ Food & Beverage, Spirits, Utilities, and Higher Ed. What stood out wasn’t just the progress in agentic decision intelligence, but how much value comes from learning together. Different industries, different challenges — yet many of the same questions: - When to trust automation vs. human judgment - How to govern decisions at scale - Where to start and how to expand The real advantage is in the community, sharing what’s working, what’s not, and moving forward together. Appreciate everyone who contributed to such an open and thoughtful discussion.
