Overview
American technology-focused investment management firm founded in 1999 by Philippe Laffont and Thomas Laffont, with $67 billion in assets under management as of September 2025. A "Tiger Cub" hedge fund (Laffont trained at Julian Robertson's Tiger Management), Coatue invests across both public and private markets with a focus on technology, media, and telecommunications.
The firm has been a significant backer of physical-AI and robotics companies including Figure, Cobalt Robotics, and Reliable Robotics, as well as AI infrastructure leaders like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks. Coatue publishes influential AI market research framing "physical AI" (humanoids, industrial automation, autonomous vehicles) as a $6T+ TAM.
