Ah! Good catch you're probably right ... it should probably be more clear on their site which ones they own a majority stake in and which ones they are a minority stakeholder in


I don't know if this is true in Tiny's case but many VC firms do this intentionally to mislead people into thinking they're a large investor in big hits. I.e., they'll put in a relatively small amount of money (and overpay) in a later round for a unicorn like Uber just so they can have the Uber logo on their site.

I agree that they are vague, but that's sort of their personal business. I don't think they owe anyone that information.
