The Ledger / Chase Coleman III
Chase Coleman III
◼ Origin
Chase Coleman III (born 1975) launched Tiger Global Management in 2001 with a $25M seed allocation from his mentor Julian Robertson (Tiger Management), becoming one of the most prominent 'Tiger Cub' hedge fund managers. Tiger Global grew to manage over $70B across public equities and venture/private equity, making early bets on Facebook, LinkedIn, and hundreds of global tech companies — before suffering approximately $17B in losses in 2022 during the tech-valuation collapse.
◼ Self-Made Verdict — PARTIAL
Received a $25M seed allocation from Julian Robertson to launch Tiger Global; did not start from zero capital, though he grew the platform substantially through his own investment decisions.
