About Chase Coleman

Coleman founded Tiger Global in 2001 at age 25 with support from his mentor Julian Robertson. Initially called Tiger Technology, the New York firm started with a long/short public-equity strategy focused on global technology companies after the dot-com bubble. It expanded into private investing in 2003 as internet businesses created new opportunities. Tiger Global describes its approach as combining research across public and private markets and following companies through stages of growth. That history explains Coleman’s association with technology investing and why the organization’s venture activity is a separate part of its business from public-equity disclosures.
