Uber is reportedly raising another $2.1 billion to fund its international-
expansion plans, according to a new report from Bloomberg's Eric Newcomer.
Citing papers filed with the state of Delaware, the ride-hailing
organization is looking to raise another $2.1 billion at a $62.5 billion
valuation. The New York Times reported in October that the company was
looking to raise $1 billion in the same valuation range.
Tiger Global Management and T. Rowe Price have closed their investments in
the latest round, but Uber is still on the hunt for other strategic
investors, according to Bloomberg's report. The latest round is still
ongoing, but will be capped at the $2.1 billion mark, according to sources.
Tiger Global's investment in the ride-hailing company comes at a surprise.
The global hedge fund is a backer behind Uber's three major international
competitors: China's Didi Kuaidi, Singapore's GrabTaxi, and India's Ola Cabs
. Didi Kuaidi, in turn, is an investor and major partner of Uber's US
competitor, Lyft.
In July, Uber closed a $1 billion Series F round of fundraising, bringing
its total raised to $6.91 billion at a $52 billion valuation, according to
PitchBook. In August, Uber's China arm closed its own $1 billion round to
specifically take on Didi Kuaidi.
With its new valuation, the startup solidifies its lead as the most valuable
private company in tech. Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has the second-
largest valuation at $46 billion. | c******n
