In a call with investors, Tiger said that PIP 16 is up 33% year-to-date, while PIP 15 is up 16%. <\/p>\n<p>Compared to the megafunds of the early 2020s, the latest raise target signals a pivot to a more disciplined strategy for Tiger Global.<\/p>\n<p>The firm was one of the biggest forces in the startup ecosystem over the last half-decade, but has seen heavy markdowns and slower deployment in the last few years. <\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the heyday of its &#8220;spray and pray&#8221; approach, it led 212 rounds, according to Crunchbase data. This year, it made just nine new private investments.<\/p>\n<p>Tiger first invested in OpenAI in 2021 at a valuation of less than $16 billion and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/12\/08\/waymo-paid-rides-robotaxi-tesla.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Waymo<\/a> that same year at $39 billion. <\/p>\n<p>The Tiger Global letter and audio of the investor call obtained by CNBC also signal some concerns about the potential for a bubble in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[V]aluations are elevated, and, in our view, at times unsupported by company fundamentals,&#8221; the firm wrote in the letter. &#8220;We also recognize the importance of approaching a technological shift of this magnitude with some humility.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The strategy that founder Chase Coleman laid out is to prune aggressively and reinforce its biggest winners. <\/p>\n<p>Tiger says it has sold more than 85 companies from PIP 15, generating over $1 billion in proceeds. <\/p>\n<p>That money can now be recycled into follow-in investments for companies it considers winners. <\/p>\n<p>Some of the names Tiger said it would concentrate on include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/06\/10\/revolut-cnbc-disruptor-50.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Revolut<\/a>, a digital banking startup, and ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok. <\/p>\n<p>Other companies Tiger is focusing on include police tech company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/06\/10\/flock-safety-cnbc-disruptor-50.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flock Safety<\/a>, EV company Harbinger, e-commerce startup Rokt, freight company Cargomatic, and stablecoin startup BVNK, the investor presentation showed. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"InlineVideo-videoThumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/108237636-251205-cg-31-ai-pressure-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"The AI pressure cooker: OpenAI, Nvidia and Google all on the move\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tiger Global Management announced Monday the launch of its latest venture capital fund, Private Investment Partners 17, according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[5681,28,122,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-337374","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-breaking-news-technology","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-business-news","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
