Tiger Global Alum’s Firm Bets on Prying People Off Their Screens

Greg Mazlin and Matthew Lloyd-Thomas are betting that hybrid work and AI will allow more people to get away from their screens and be more active. Mazlin — one of the few partners to depart the $50 billion Tiger Global in recent years — started raising his first fund in 2024 to invest in private companies poised to benefit from two long-term trends: people craving real-life experiences and an increase in leisure time created by artificial intelligence and hybrid work. One of his investments includes Matthew Lloyd-Thomas's Milky Way Park, a holding company that owns the high-end bike tour operator Thomson Tours, and the mountain expedition firm Alpenglow Expiditions. And he has plans to add other adventure sports to the mix. Mazlin and Lloyd-Thomas joined Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec to discuss how they're betting on people going offline. (Source: Bloomberg)
