Tiger Global Management

Tiger Global Management was founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman III as a hedge fund focused on technology, media, and telecommunications investments. The firm has evolved into one of the world's most prolific technology investors, managing both public equity and private investment strategies across global markets. Known for their speed and aggressive deal-making approach, Tiger Global became synonymous with the venture capital boom of the 2010s and 2020s, often making investment decisions within days and leading massive funding rounds. The firm's investment philosophy centers on identifying secular growth trends and backing exceptional entrepreneurs building category-defining companies. Under Coleman's leadership, Tiger Global has invested in over 400 private companies across more than 30 countries, with notable successes including early bets on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Stripe. Their crossover strategy allows them to support companies from early venture stages through public markets, providing unique continuity for portfolio companies. However, the firm faced significant challenges during the 2022 market correction, leading to portfolio markdowns and a more selective investment approach.
