TIGER GLOBAL MANAGEMENT
Tiger Global Management was founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman III at the age of 24, with $25 million in seed capital from his mentor, legendary hedge fund manager Julian Robertson of Tiger Management.
Coleman transformed that initial investment into one of the most successful hedge fund empires in the world.
Today, Tiger Global manages tens of billions of dollars and is recognized for its long-term focus on investing in leading global public and private companies driven by technological innovation.
In 2002, Scott Shleifer joined the firm and co-founded its venture capital division, which he continues to lead, making Tiger Global one of the most active and influential investors in technology startups worldwide.
BREAKTHROUGH INVESTMENTS
Coleman was an early backer of Facebook, an investment that generated nearly $1 billion for his fund and solidified his reputation as one of the most visionary technology investors of his generation.
His unique investing style has earned him recognition in both Wall Street and Silicon Valley circles, and New York Magazine described him as having “the unique distinction of being both old and new money rich.”
