Coatue

Overview

Coatue, founded by Philippe Laffont in 1999, runs public equities, venture and growth strategies off one technology-research engine, with private positions that have included ByteDance, Databricks and Anduril. Beyond common equity it offers structured capital through its tactical solutions strategy — an option worth knowing when a late-stage portfolio company wants capital without a down-round print.
