What Tiger Global does

Tiger Global Management, LLC is a privately held, SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman and headquartered at 9 West 57th Street, New York. The firm manages approximately $50 billion in assets across two core investment businesses: a Public Equity platform offering fundamentally oriented long/short, long-focused and crossover strategies that target high-quality public growth companies, and a Private Equity / Venture Capital platform that invests in early- through late-stage private companies pursuing innovative approaches to existing and new industries. Tiger Global pioneered the crossover investing model — pairing public-market research with private-market capital deployment to back companies across their full lifecycle — and has invested in more than 30 countries. The firm reports 90+ portfolio company IPOs supported to date and a 34% gross IRR / 23% net IRR across its first 10 funds, with notable historical positions in Facebook, LinkedIn, JD.com, Flipkart, Spotify, Uber, Nubank, Stripe, Palantir, and Snowflake.

The firm's revenue model is conventional for a global alternative asset manager: management fees and performance fees (carried interest) charged on capital committed by external institutional and qualified investors, with Tiger Global employees disclosed as the firm's largest investor base — a structural alignment mechanism. Distribution is direct and relationship-based, relying on the firm's institutional investor portal, founder referrals, and track-record reputation rather than retail or mass marketing; the firm runs a single website (tigerglobal.com) and explicitly states it offers no mobile application or internet-based investment services. Capital deployment in 2025–2026 has skewed heavily into AI infrastructure and applications — led positions include Cerebras Systems ($1B Series H, ~$23B post-money, Feb 2026), Sierra ($950M Series E co-lead with Google Ventures, May 2026), Zipline ($600M+ round at $7.6B valuation, Jan 2026), Brex ($300M Series E lead at $12.3B, Oct 2025), alongside follow-on participation in Scribe, Mews, and Harbinger and Indian pre-IPO exposure through PhonePe, OfBusiness and Infra.Market. The firm's current strategic posture is a return to a concentrated, high-conviction investment approach, with PIP 17 targeting close to $2 billion.

Operationally Tiger Global operates with a small, research-intensive team centered in New York and an affiliated nonprofit subsidiary, Tiger Global Impact Ventures (established 2021), which handles philanthropy and impact investing in education, poverty, healthcare, and ocean-based climate solutions. Strategically the firm has been navigating material regulatory headwinds in India following the January 2026 Supreme Court ruling that its 2018 $1.6B Flipkart/Walmart stake sale was taxable in India — a decision now triggering reassessment proceedings and broader scrutiny of foreign VC/PE structures, partially mitigated by the CBDT's 2026 grandfathering protection for pre-April-2017 investments. The combination of mature $50B AUM, concentrated AI-thematic exposure, pending PIP 17 fundraise, and ongoing India tax litigation defines the near-term risk/reward profile for limited partners and prospective investors evaluating the franchise.
