We invest in the defining companies of the future.
In 2001, Tiger Global – originally named Tiger Technology – was founded by Chase Coleman at age 25, with backing from his mentor Julian Robertson, a visionary in the hedge fund industry. Headquartered in New York, Tiger Global launched with a long/short public equity strategy to invest in leading global technology companies. In the aftermath of the dot-com bubble, as the internet era was just beginning, fresh perspectives were an asset when imagining what a new internet-connected world could look like. From the outset, the firm embraced a philosophy rooted in deep research, unique insights, and the power of entrepreneurship.
By 2003, after generating strong returns in our public equities, the firm expanded into private investing after identifying early opportunities in emerging internet businesses. In doing so, Tiger Global pioneered the model of crossover investing, built on the belief that investing across both public and private markets creates powerful synergies that sharpen our investment decisions and benefit the companies we partner with.
The firm has invested in global businesses across more than 30 countries, supporting more than 90 portfolio company IPOs. Notable examples include Facebook, LinkedIn, JD.com, Flipkart, Spotify, Uber, Nubank, Stripe, Palantir, Toast, Snowflake, Mercado Libre, and AI leaders such as OpenAI, Databricks, Waymo, ByteDance, Cerebras, and Scale. The firm’s founder-friendly approach is centered on identifying high-quality companies – across all stages of their lifecycle – with strong fundamentals, outstanding management teams, durable growth, and competitive advantages.
Today, we are in the early stages of a multi-decade, AI-driven value creation cycle. Having invested through every major technology shift since the early 2000s – from the internet and mobile to cloud and now AI, the most transformative shift yet – Tiger Global brings the experience, capital, research, and team to back the defining companies of the future.
Since its founding, Tiger Global’s guiding principle has remained clear: deliver world-class returns for investors and do so in a way that makes our employees, partners, and portfolio companies proud.
