Charles Payson 'Chase' Coleman III is an American billionaire investor, the founder and Chairman of Tiger Global Management, one of the world's most successful and influential technology investment firms. Born in Glen Head, Long Island, in 1975, his background is rooted in 'old money' legal and banking circles; his grandfather was a managing partner at the prominent law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell, and his mother owns an interior design firm.

Coleman received an elite education, following his father to both Deerfield Academy and Williams College, where he graduated in 1997 and was co-captain of the lacrosse team. His pivotal career start came immediately after college when he joined Julian Robertson's legendary hedge fund, Tiger Management. Having grown up as a friend of Robertson's son, Coleman became one of the privileged 'Tiger Cubs', managers entrusted with seed money (over $25 million) to manage their own funds after Robertson closed Tiger Management in 2000.

Chase Coleman founded Tiger Global Management in the early 2000s. His strategic genius was applying the rigorous, deep-analysis investment philosophy learned from Julian Robertson to the nascent and rapidly growing global technology and internet sector. Unlike many traditional hedge funds, Tiger Global rapidly pivoted to dominate venture capital and private equity, making massive, early investments in global giants.

Tiger Global became a relentless, hyper-efficient investor known for its speed and scale, making early bets on companies like Facebook and LinkedIn. More recently, the firm has been a dominant force in Asia, investing in startups across India, China, and Southeast Asia. This focus on private technology equity proved immensely lucrative, generating billions in returns and securing Coleman's status as one of the most successful hedge fund managers of his generation, with the firm now managing massive funds across public and private markets.

Chase Coleman III's philanthropy is structural and focuses on education, conservation, and health. His giving is often channeled through large endowments to universities and environmental organizations.

His firm's massive investment in global technology has a structural impact, accelerating the growth of the internet ecosystem and job creation worldwide. His wealth is leveraged to support the next generation of technological and entrepreneurial talent globally, reflecting his deep commitment to the competitive, merit-based world of finance and technology.

Chase Coleman III maintains the highly polished, refined, and disciplined style of a major New York hedge fund manager. His attire is consistently bespoke and high-quality, favoring tailored suits and a classic aesthetic. His style reflects the security of old money heritage combined with the dynamism of new money technology investing.

Residing in New York, his luxury is the immense security and autonomy derived from managing a top-tier global investment firm. His life is defined by his intense focus on market strategy and his ability to leverage his early pedigree into a phenomenal, independent success in the world of high finance and technology.
