Tiger Global Management

Chase Coleman was only 25 when he launched Tiger Global (originally named Tiger Technology) in 2001, seeded with roughly $25 million from his mentor Julian Robertson after Robertson's own famed hedge fund, Tiger Management, wound down. Coleman built Tiger Global as a hybrid the industry hadn't quite seen before - a fund equally comfortable buying public stocks and writing private venture checks, a strategy that let it move unusually fast into deals other VCs took months to close.
