Equity Monday: Good vaccine news, three rounds, and why IPOs are trending

So, what did we get into this morning? A grip of things, which I've listed below in order: American Thanksgiving is this week, so news may slow as we move towards Thursday. New, good vaccine news is boosting stocks and hopes that the pandemic could be brought under control next year. Bitcoin is racing towards new records. LA-based Credit Key raises $33 million for its business-to-business payments platform -- in light of the Affirm IPO this round is no surprise. Digital freight forwarder Forto raises another $50M in round led by Inven Capital -- the pandemic is messing around with supply chains, perhaps leaving room for startups in the space to aggressively grow. Digital electricity supplier Tibber closes $65M Series B led by Eight Roads, Balderton -- of our three rounds, this one took me the longest to understand. This essay from Tomasz Tunguz, which is good.
