Tim Connors is one of the industry’s best unicorn hunters. Tim was named to the Forbes 2020 Midas List for being among the world’s best dealmakers in venture capital. His recent notable unicorns include drone delivery service Zipline, fintech startup Chime, and data analytics startup Looker, which was acquired by Google for US$2.6 billion.
