PEOPLE
Kleiner China
Co-Founder Tina Ju
is departing the firm with launch of new fund for investing in the Mainland. Getting the right formula for dealmaking proves

FUNDS
Kai-Fu Lee is raising a second fund of $300 million to expand his angel investing to Shanghai after a quick start in Beijing with his Innovation Works. See
my video and HK event
coverage in Forbes.
IPOs
Delay of IPO for Lashou,
a leader among many GroupOn copycats in China, may point to lessons for future listings in the U.S. Lashou had filed for a $100 million public offering on NASDAQ but backed out to clarify accounting issues.
DEALS
Signs keep pointing to Alibaba and Softbank in reports of a deal to buy Yahoo, but other bid teams from TPG and Siliver Lake are in the running. I wouldn't bet against Jack Ma.
