Fund History
Coatue began as a public-markets manager, launching its first hedge fund in 1999 with $45 million, and only built a private franchise fourteen years later. Coatue Private Fund I closed $300 million in 2013, followed by Private Fund II at $500 million in 2015 and Kona III at $1.3 billion in 2017. The Early Stage Fund arrived in 2019 at roughly $700 million, and its Cayman private-investors feeder alone reported $197 million sold to 246 investors with a first sale in December 2018. Growth Fund IV raised $3.5 billion in 2020, Growth Fund V filed in March 2021 with an indefinite offering amount, and later vehicles including Growth Fund V-B, Growth Fund VI and two Climate Tech funds continue the series. Coatue also runs a dense co-investment programme: more than 40 single-purpose "Coatue CT" entities appear in SEC filings between 2016 and 2026, used to syndicate individual positions to outside investors.
