Farewell, Mr. Cook
Alex Cook, a prominent partner at Tiger Global, is bidding adieu to the firm after nearly seven years.
Known for his expertise in fintech investments and Indian deals, Cook’s departure comes amid a series of high-profile shifts within the company.
Big shoes to fill
Cook’s portfolio boasts impressive investments, including TradingView, TrueLayer, and Scalapay.
His median deal size hovered around $35 million, frequently targeting companies valued at over $250 million. His exit leaves a significant gap in Tiger Global’s emerging markets strategy, particularly in India.
The departure coincides with broader changes at Tiger Global. Founder Chase Coleman recently stepped into the role of venture chief, taking over from Scott Shleifer.
These shifts occur against the backdrop of a challenging fundraising climate, with the firm’s latest VC fund being its smallest in a decade at $2.2 billion.
