Tiger Global Attacked Former Employee that Wrote Book About Chase

Chase Coleman's former assistant Carrie Sun has written a book called Private Equity that discusses her time working for Coleman. Tiger Global hired attack dog law firm Clare Locke to attack poor Carrie and pressure her to remove many of the salacious facts about her time at Tiger and change Coleman's name to "Boone Prescott" in the book and Tiger Global's name to "Carbon." Crazy that they went after her like that and forced her to remove a lot of the good stuff but should be a fun read either way.  Book has received good reviews and is out in a couple weeks. Also, interestingly, all the rumors and press about Shleifer being involved in the sexual/discrimination issue that drove Tiger to pay a $10 million settlement were completely false. That woman that threatened to sue Tiger worked exclusively for Coleman and had virtually no interaction with Shleifer.

Great book. Carrie said everything in the book was true / happened but she had to change names. Here is a key to understand who everyone is in real life:

  • Carbon = Tiger Global
  • Argon = Tiger Management
  • Boone Prescott = Chase Coleman (founder of Tiger Global)
  • Elisabeth Prescott = Stephanie Coleman (Chase’s wife)
  • Jay = Anil Crasto (former COO/CFO)
  • Bridget = Clara Ferraro (co-head of IR)
  • Emma = Lauren DeNatale (former co-head of IR)
  • Neil = Feroz Dewan (former head of public investments)
  • Sloane = Kate DeLuca (Feroz’s assistant)
  • Martin = Julian Robertson (founder of Tiger Management)
  • Gabe = Nadi Barash (former analyst)
  • Isaac = Caleb Watts (former partner)
  • Ari = Neeraj Chandra (former partner)
  • Michael = Scott Shleifer (former head of private investments, former head/co-head of public investments)
 

Just finished reading it. Tbh, the author came across as kind of annoying. She acted like she was going to be curing cancer and got disappointed that she was worked to the bone.

 

Just read a couple excerpts because I was genuinely curious why anyone would find such a book interesting.

The excerpts read as the most boring thing in the world… rich guy does rich people stuff, not what I expected, finance people work a lot of hours, blah blah. Reads like something anyone could write
