Few investors are more emblematic of the no-interest-rate private market frenzy than billionaire Scott Shleifer.
Tiger's venture approach in 2020 and 2021 — constantly described as unsustainable by rivals — included maneuvers such as offering start-ups more money than they were asking and emailing founders term sheets after a single meeting.
Shleifer's reputation and personal wealth grew with Tiger's venture success.
As Tiger was fundraising late last year, investors learned of a $10 million settlement Tiger Global made to a former female employee.
At least one Tiger investor was surprised to hear about it from Coleman and not Shleifer himself.
