Tiger Global Management

Quick read

Tiger Global Management, a crossover investment firm, was founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman in New York. It runs parallel public equity and private venture/growth strategies, with 1,200+ investments spanning internet, software, consumer, and fintech globally. The firm built its reputation on high-velocity deal-making and minimal operational involvement — a model stress-tested by significant hedge fund losses in 2022 from which it's been working to rebuild investor confidence.
