Talk:Lee Fixel

Additions
I work for Rubenstein and on behalf of Lee Fixel I'd like to update to this article to address some of the noted issues. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor please review and either give feedback and/or edit accordingly. NinaSpezz (talk) 19:55, 2 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Rename "Life" section to "Early life and education"
 * Expand that section:

Fixel grew up near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the oldest of three children. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Finance and Accounting at the Washington University in St. Louis. He also studied business at the London School of Economics and is a licensed Chartered Financial Analyst.


 * In "Career" section, remove wikilink of "Tiger Global Management" as the Wikipedia page it's currently linking to is not Tiger Global Management.


 * Expand "Career" section:

Fixel is a partner at Tiger Global Management, a New York-based investment firm, which he joined in March 2006.

Fixel leads Tiger Global’s private equity business. He has led investments in a number of billion-dollar American, Indian, and European startups, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Spotify, and Flipkart.

Other American investments led by Fixel include Warby Parker, Peloton, Harry's, InVision, Redfin, Eventbrite, and Wealthfront. In India, in addition to Flipkart, Fixel has led funding rounds for home-bred startups Ola, Razorpay, Policybazaar, and Freshworks.


 * Create new section titled "Philanthropy" :

In 2017, Fixel was awarded the Alan C. Greenberg Young Leadership Award from UJA-Federation of New York in recognition of his philanthropy.

Early life and education
Hi, I'm Jason, and I'm here on behalf of Lee Fixel via PR agency Finsbury as part of my work with Beutler Ink. As someone with a conflict of interest, I will abstain from directly editing the article and instead, post requests to be reviewed and implemented by volunteers. I've drafted new text, which you may review below, for the Early life and education section that includes improving the flow of the copy and removing a few inaccurate details. These claims are all supported by third-party sourcing:

Will someone please take a look at these edits and if appropriate, place in the article? Thank you. Inkian Jason (talk) 17:14, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello! I am looking for an active editor to review this request. I've asked for help at WikiProject Biography, WikiProject Finance & Investment, and WikiProject United States, but no editors have replied. I reached out to an active WikiProject F&I editor here, who suggested I try WikiProject Business. I noticed you're an active member of WikiProject Business, and figured I'd ask if you'd be willing to review these 2 sentences. Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 15:57, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I will implement the edits. However, I am making slight changes per sourcing. I made it flow better. AmericanAir88(talk) 17:29, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * ✅ AmericanAir88(talk) 17:32, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I will take a look, and I hope you're able to help with the below request as well. Inkian Jason (talk) 17:42, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Career
Hello again. While I'm waiting for the above request to be reviewed, I thought I'd go ahead and post a request to update the Career section as well.

This updated section improves the overall copy and flow, and describes Fixel's early career as well as his investments most frequently mentioned in popular media. The proposed text also mentions his 2019 resignation from Tiger Global Management, board positions, and his recurring position on Forbes' Midas List.

These details are all sourced with reliable, secondary coverage. I invite editors to review the following text for replacing the current section:

 * Some of the provided references do not originate from reliable, independent, secondary sources.
 * Many of the ref tags are bundled together at the end of sentences. Ref tags should be placed immediately adjacent to the information they reference.
 * While I agree with what you said above, should you give Inkian a change to fix their request before denying it? I've worked with the user in the past, they are willing to change. I agree though that the sourcing needs to improve. AmericanAir88(talk) 18:28, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Career (revised)
Thank you both for taking a look. Sorry, I've corrected a few of the source links to show the articles are published by reputable secondary sources. I also replaced Inc42 with a Mint source, and rearranged the citations so they are now placed immediately adjacent to claims.

Do you mind taking another look at this proposed section?

Thanks again for your help. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:19, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Inkian Jason - I don't have an issue with this content and it seems to be an improvement. The final sentence might be seen as promotional and someone could remove it in the future (I don't personally see it that way, but I probably wouldn't object to its removal if someone else did). I think that's one of those things to keep it in and then if someone objects later reevaluate it then. The only thing keeping me from implementing this change is the livemint.com reference is defined multiple times with different content (H:CERDK). Would it be possible to fix that? Chetsford (talk) 18:00, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing this request. Sorry, the following markup for the section should fix this error:

After graduation, Fixel became a licensed chartered financial analyst and began his career at Alkeon Capital Management, an investment firm.

In 2006, Fixel joined Tiger Global Management, a New York-based investment firm. He became a partner and head of the firm's private equity business, before his resignation in March 2019. In a letter received by Reuters in March 2019, Fixel said he planned to continue investing independently. He remains on the board of some portfolio companies, such as Warby Parker. He has also served on the board of Peloton. Among his most notable portfolio investments are Stripe, Peloton, Freshworks, and Spotify, as well as late-stage investments, including Facebook.

Fixel has invested in a number of Indian startups, most famously e-commerce company Flipkart, where he is a member of the board of directors, since 2009.

As of 2018, he has appeared on Forbes' Midas List six times over the course of his career.


 * This should fix the livemint source issue. Thanks again. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:51, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey Inkian Jason - this is producing an error due to multiple invocations of the same ref name. Maybe you could just sandbox this entire article with this and the below changes and then I'll just copy the whole thing over? Chetsford (talk) 17:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry. I keep checking and thinking my markup is fine, so let me just provide the whole thing is my user space. This will just take a couple minutes. Inkian Jason (talk) 17:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Please see updated markup here: User:Inkian Jason/Lee Fixel. I saved the original markup before the proposed markup, so you can confirm proposed changes here. Thanks for your patients and willingness to help. Inkian Jason (talk) 17:55, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for your assistance, Chetsford. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Philanthropy
Hello again! While I'm waiting for the above request to be reviewed, I thought I'd go ahead and post my final request for this article, this time to update the Philanthropy section. This proposed content below closely resembles the existing section, but hopefully improves copy and flow, and provides additional encyclopedic detail, such as the purpose of the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases. I invite editors to review the following text for replacing the current section:

Will an editor please take a look at these edits and if appropriate, place in the article? Thanks in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 19:27, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I think this is just fine, generally. However, "one of the largest" is - I think - a little non-encyclopedic since it could be defined to mean any percentile of donors. I would prefer if this were not in WP's voice and were also linked to a specific point in time. Perhaps it could be written 'As of 2018 the Fixels were, according to Mint, among "the biggest contributors to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research".' Chetsford (talk) 18:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing. I am fine with your proposed wording. Please see the following updated markup:
 * ✅ Chetsford (talk) 17:58, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I hope this addresses your concerns. Thanks again for your help. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:58, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Are you available to revisit these requests, please? Thanks again for reviewing. Inkian Jason (talk) 15:29, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey Inkian Jason - it appears the Livemint citation is using the same ref name used by a different Livemint citation which is producing an error on implementation. Could you fix it? Chetsford (talk) 17:35, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe this markup for the Philanthropy should resolve the issue:

Fixel, along with his wife, Lauren Fixel, co-founded the Lauren and Lee Fixel Family Foundation. Together, the Fixels are one of the largest contributors to The Michael J. Fox Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to Parkinson's disease research.

In January 2019, the Lauren and Lee Fixel Family Foundation donated $20 million to the University of Florida and UF Health to establish the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases. The institute is focused on advancing research, technology, and clinical care for Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

I don't think you'll have the same problem with the above revised Career section. Inkian Jason (talk) 17:39, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Addition
Hello! I'm back with an additional request, this time to add mention of the venture capital firm Addition. I propose the following text:


 * In 2020, Fixel launched the venture capital firm Addition and raised $1.3 billion to invest in early- and growth-stage startup companies.

Sorry to bother, but since you helped above, I wonder if you'd be willing to review this request and update the article on my behalf once again?

Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 15:55, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Inkian Jason - that seems like a good and pertinent addition. I've updated the article accordingly. Chetsford (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. Inkian Jason (talk) 13:49, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
